She read
As a fan of both Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer series, I look forward to each new book by him. In this police procedural, Connelly introduces a new female character, Renee Ballard. Like Bosch, she has a history of issues with authority and as a result is assigned to the “Late Show”, or night shift. Usually officers on this shift do not have the opportunity to follow up on many of the crimes they are called to initially investigate. Ballard, though, also like Bosch, has an independent streak which drives her to pursue cases to their finish.
Set in the gritty underworld of LA, The Late Show is a compelling read; I didn’t want to put it down. A good writer, Connelly interweaves the various cases well; there is no confusion among the characters or action.
I’m not sure yet how I feel about this female character and some of the tactics she employs to achieve her goals, but I look forward to the next book in this series to find out!
