This was a pretty decent mystery novel. My mom reads a lot by this guy so I thought I'd give it a whirl.
This was a great mystery that led you right to the bad guys, then distracted you away, so when you finally discovered “who done it” you were shocked & had them as a suspect. I also really liked that Bosch was somehow both really vulnerable and a complete asshole. (Side Note: It seems like everyone was a jerk by today's standards, just looking at the smoking and littering!) Enjoyed it and just bought the 2nd in the series.
The best word to describe this book is “unpleasant”. Bosch is an unpleasant man. He lies to everyone. He doesn't answer. There's nothing special about him. The other characters are mostly unpleasant people. I don't get the appeal of this series.
