Extremely well plotted and well written crime/mystery book. This is the third book in the Harry Bosch series, and while it could be read alone, I'm glad I'm reading in chronological order as Bosch's character is developing really well. Harry is being sued in civil court by the widow of the "Dollmaker" - a serial killer that Harry killed four years previously. The problem is that another murder, with details strikingly similar to the Dollmaker's has just been found, embedded in concrete. Has Harry killed the wrong guy? He's sure he hasn't but with this new case breaking, he can't be 100% sure. Really good book.

The Concrete Blonde is a heck of a good thriller. I see now why Michael Connelly sells a gazillion books a year.

A good read, as always. This book was on the border of what I can handle in terms of gruesomeness, but it didn't make me stop. Mind you, I have a pretty low tolerance.

Another stellar plot by Connelly. Many plot twists as he built up to the climax, but an unexpected individual is responsible for the following of the Dollmaker.

What an amazing book! Kept me guessing til the end. And love the narrator, Dick Hill. He's incredible.
