Murder, violence, mystery (some of which I guessed rather quickly), the woman Bosch loved from an earlier book. ( )

While this has quite the surprise ending, I think that Connelly left the devolpment of Harry a bit off in this installment. I do wish he would also develop Rider's personality a bit quicker as well. ( )

The fourth installment of the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly. I started this book last year or even the year before and somehow put it down and never finished. I don’t know why or how that happened because when I finally reached where I had originally left off it was just getting good.

This time around Harry and his team are investigating the death of a movie exec who was stuffed in his trunk and shot. With lots of little twists and turns and red herrings, this book turns out to be pretty good, mainly because I didn’t guess most of the ending before it happened.

It’s also one of the first in the series where Harry really finds true love, or so we think, and goes to the extreme just to keep her in his life. ( )

Trunk Music is part of the Harry Bosch series of novels by Michael Connolly. In this novel Bosch returns from being suspended from the department to investigate the death of a little known movie producer who is found dead in the trunk of his car by a beat cop on routine patrol. Bosch suspects a mob tie in but that department has no interest in the case, or so they say, so Bosch tackles the mystery himself. There are several leads that result in dead ends. The investigation leads across state lines from LA to Las Vegas where Bosch gets into some trouble. The story line is pretty involved and detailed especially the inner workings of the department and police politics. In the end everyone has a hand in this complicated murder. This novel a good addition to the Bosch series. ( )

Detailed, but rivetting....looks like a realisitc portrayal of US police bureaucratic procedures, ......
