The Reversal

I always like seeing cold case mysteries get solved. The families should get that closure, at least. That makes this Bosch novel good in the end.

Some aspects of it are a little crunchy, at times. Like the scene where Bosch wonders if he was being disrespectful to his colleagues by calling them by their last name only. I guess, if literature is supposed to reflect the times, that is a good thing. Hard to picture Mike Hammer wondering if he was being disrespectful, though.

Maybe Bosch is mellowing with age.

At least he's still putting away the bad guys.
