Book Review: The Black Ice by Michael Connelly (Harry Bosch 2)

Published in 1993 this is the second in the Harry Bosch novels. Bosch is on call on Christmas Day when he gets word of a dead body on his patch. However, the case does not come his way. Bosch decides to go to the scene of the crime to find out what is up? It turns out that Bosch knows the victim who has committed suicide. However Bosch soon discovers that the victim has been murdered.

Bosch acts on his own unauthorised initiative on the case. Then a second officer is found dead. Murdered. A few coincidences between the two cases begin to reveal themselves and Bosch has double the workload.

The plot leads Harry to Mexico where the causes of the murders originates.

The book is well written, the characters are fully believable people and the plot is realistic too.

Bosch is soon up to speed for me in this novel and you are soon hooked on the novels of Michael Connelly.

An 8/10 for me for this novel.
