Once again, Connelly has written an excellent book about his character Harry Bosch, a homicide detective in Los Angeles. Harry is part of the Open-Unsolved Unit (a/k/a Cold Cases). In The Black Box, he is investigating the death of Anneke Jespersen, a journalist from Denmark who was killed during the L.A. Riots 20 years ago.
There's a love interest, but she doesn't play a very large part in this book. Of course, his teenage daughter is still living with him. And, he's battling the politics at the police department. There's plenty of twists and turns along the way. Just when you think Harry's hit a dead end, he pulls a rabbit out of the hat.
Connelly is a brilliant writer and totally keeps you immersed in the story. I read the book in one day....I just couldn't put it down. You do not have to read the previous books in the series to enjoy this one. The Black Box stands by itself. I like that. -- I don't want to read 14 other books before I know what's happening with the story.
I give The Black Box two thumbs' up and definitely recommend this book. Enjoy!
