Michael Connelly

If you have looked at my authors label you will have seen that I like my crime thrillers.

Ian Rankin's Rebus
Peter James' Roy Grace
Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole
Jeffrey Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme

to name a few

Having recently moved we found a book in the cellar. It was Black Ice by Michael Connelly. It features LAPD' Harry Bosch. Fortunately it was only the second book in the series. Having a vast of time on my hands due to my immobility, I have been able to start and work my way through the other books in order. So far I'm up to my 10th Bosch novel, but I'm going to go back and catch up on another character who features in an earlier book. They are definitely on a par with Rankin, James and Nesbo, excellent stories that keep you engrossed

There is a website here and a few reviews for you

“Connelly knows crime, cops and criminals…Plan ahead before you read this buzz-saw of a novel…Once you start, you will finish.”
— Booklist

“A writer with a superior talent for storytelling.”
— Publishers Weekly

“It’s a terrific yarn, extending the boundaries of the police procedural in the ingenuity of the plot and the creation of a character.” 
— Los Angeles Times

“Connelly’s Bosch could partner with John Sanford’s Lucas Davenport. As fictional  heroes, these ‘90’s tough guys are a joy.”
— Kansas City Star

Michael Connelly received the Maltese Falcon Award from the Maltese Falcon Society of Japan for The Black Ice, which was judged the best private eye novel published in Japan in the previous year.
