Interesting coincidence. With no recall of ever before
hearing of a CD called Kind of Blue, I find a reference to it
in two books in a row, Connelly's Echo Park and Huston's
Caught Stealing. I haven't finished reading it but Echo Park
is fantastic. It was good to see Harry Bosch again. I was
looking at the list of his books in the front and it came to
me that I might have read more Connelly novels than any other
author. I kinda turned away a few years ago to read some
other authors and they stacked up on me. He can crank them
out. It looks like he's still got four I haven't read.
Oh! I see that Martin Cruz Smith has got a new one out. He's
still writing good books. I was going to say Havana Bay was
the last I read by him, but I read the one about the Russian
murdered with a radioactive poison since then. What's the
inspector's name?Renky?
Poor guy always gets the crap beat out of
himself.
I skipped lunch today and forked over the cash for Caught
Stealing. I'm looking forward to reading it. There has been a
lot of discussion about it here.
