Michael Connelly- The Drop 4.75 Stars
Detective Harry Bosch has just been given
his DROP date, 3 years until he must retire from the force. He has two
investigations going on at once, one is a cold case from 1989 and one is a live
case involving the city Councilman, Irvin Irving. The cold case involves blood
found one a body of a woman raped and murdered in 1989, but the blood is that
of an eight-year-old, which means that he must get to the bottom of things. The
live case is a possible suicide/murder of Councilman Irvin Irving’s son. Just
the kind of case Harry Bosch dreads, high jingo/politics.
I loved this book from start to finish. It
starts out grabbing your attention and getting you involved in the case, not
letting up at any point. I found myself curious about how it is going to turn
out at every chapter. It had many twists and turns with little surprises here
and there. It was very hard to set this book down, as it had me on the edge of
my seat. The characters are always great and bring extra depth to the novel. I
also enjoyed the reference to Castle, considering his appearances on the TV
series. Overall it is definitely one I would highly recommend. One of my
favourites by this author.
