A review by zmull
Lost Light by Michael Connelly

4.0

Bosch has left the LAPD but is still poking around in old cases. He quickly find himself tangled up in Bush-era paranoia and layers on layers of cover-ups. This is very post-9/11 Bosch. In a nod to classic PI fiction, Bosch is narrating his own story now in the first person. It's an interesting change and shows how smart Connelly's been evolving this series. Lost Light is an airport thriller, for sure, but Connelly manages to invest it with lots of character work. Even the big dumb action finale becomes a nice character beat. The TV series has spoiled a few of the bigger changes to come in the book series for me. But I'm looking forward to reading them anyway.
