Echo Park by Michael Connelly

Summary

This is Michael Connelly’s eleventh novel featuring Detective Harry Bosch who now works in the open-unsolved unit in the LAPD. In this story, the aging detective continues to be haunted by a case where a woman, Marie Gesto, disappeared in 1993. After thirteen years, Harry still keeps this file on his desk. The case appears to be solved when police randomly stop a van and find trash bags filled with women’s body parts. The driver confesses to killing nine women in addition to Marie Gesto. Politics play a large role in the case and the ever serious Harry lightens up through a romantic interest.

Discussion

-Everyone enjoyed the book, it was a good and fast read. There was some lack of character development probably due to certain characters appearing in prior Harry Bosch novels.
