The Crossing by Michael ConnellyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Okay, I must be honest and admit that I was a bit apprehensive where Harry Bosch would go next after the last book, The Burning Room. Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch Series is one of my favorite crime series and I always eagerly wait for the next installment.
So, The Crossing, the 20th book in the series takes us on Harry Bosch, the maverick cop now forced with early retirement from the LAPD…new career move.
Unable to bear with nothing to do in his life, he decides to take on an investigation for his half-brother, Mickey Haller, the slick and not your typical defense lawyer. Harry has doubts about doing anything for defense lawyers as he believes that he’s betraying the side he has always believed in…i.e. the police force.
Mickey Haller is convinced his client has been framed for a murder he did not commit and he asks Harry to do a bit of investigation into the case. Harry begins to see some discrepancies that worry him.
The more he finds out about the case, the more he’s convinced that there may be corrupt cops involved in setting up Mickey’s client.
I enjoyed seeing Harry work through the clues and information and how he follows the trails leading to some unexpected discoveries. He may now be retired but his skills at looking at every little piece of evidence are still top notch.
His daughter lives with him and their relationship is a bit strained at the moment. His love life is in a bit of a limbo after the breakup of the relationship he’s been in for a while….hopefully we get him to see more of someone he meets up with again.
Naturally, he’s still listening to jazz!!! And still living in his amazing house in the hills.
This is the new and reinvented iconic Harry Bosch and still, after all these years, bringing magic to his fans.
Just a mention that I loved the TV Harry Bosch series Season 1 and hopefully we will get more in the future.
