I, too, have read several of the Connolly novels after seeing them
recommended here. They are more in the police procedural area and are
okay, but not great. They generally give a fairly pessimistic view of
life in our times, dealing as they do with murders and the rather
depressing life of a touch, capable homicide detective named Bosch
(great name, that). TRUNK MUSIC, the latest, I believe, is worth
reading, but no new ground is plowed here. The author is not John D.
MacDonald, nor James Ellroy, for that matter, but he know a few good
stories and tells them well.
