"I've been working my way through the Harry Bosch novels: Black Echo, Black Ice, The Concrete Blonde, The Last Coyote and this one. They've all been fine -- typical of the genre -- but not great. I don't think I like Bosch as much as John Sanford's Lucas Davenport. While both characters are head strong and pay little attention to the rules, I think Davenport has a better sense of humor. I also think Sanford's bad guys have been more interesting than the ones Bosch has been faced with so far. Finally, I don't love the LA and Los Vegas settings of the books -- just can't relate to those over-hyped cities. Nonetheless, I'll likely keep reading the series anyway."
"Trunk Music does its job--that is, it's compelling enough to make the real world go away for awhile. For anyone who's been to Las Vegas--especially "then" and "now"--the character of the city, as depicted in this book, may be as interesting as any of the human characters.
The plot is complex but well crafted, although plenty of questions are left unanswered. But this is escapist literature, and much can be forgiven. There's a certain brutality, though, that made me uncomfortable with this book and with the character of Harry Bosch. As with some real-life people I know, I'm not sure I like him, but he's interesting.
On the other hand, watching the evening news--and the ignorance and incipient brutality apparent lately in Congressional "town hall meetings"--makes me uncomfortable, too. I guess if art follows life, a certain amount of discomfort is inevitable."
"I like crime mysteries. This one was good, not great. There were some twists and unpredictable events, so that's always good. Beware, whenever Detective Bosch is talking with the "criminal elements" they always use the F-word way too much!! Other than that, pretty clean reading."
"More of the same from Connelly, and I count that a good thing.
On the down side, the IAD-takes-on-Bosch thing is becoming a bit formulaic. We need some new bad guys.
On the plus side, the new characters are great. Kiz is particularly well done, and it's nice that there's an authority figure who's not totally out to get Bosch."
