The Black Echo by Michael ConnellyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Michael Connelly begins the first installment in the Harry Bosch series with the force of a runaway train. "The Black Echo" introduces the reader to Harry Bosh, L.A. PD Homicide Detective. Not far into the book, I dubbed Harry Bosch as "not bullshit Harry," and that is how I will probably think of him throughout the series.
It begins one spring night when Harry gets a call to respond to a body discovered at Mulholland Dam in a drainpipe. From there a series of events lead him deeper and deeper into a case that becomes highly personal, evoking memories of his time in the Vietnam War and people he served in the military with.
There is plenty here for every mystery and detective story reader. Crime. Unexplained events. Police procedure. Questionable outcomes. This book is a reader's dream. Plus, you have Harry Bosh, a legend among fictional characters. Please, just read it. No bullshit. If you do, you'll see exactly what I mean about the significance of those two words.
