The Overlook Michael Connelly "I'm one of those readers who's addicted to police thrillers, and I go through these so fast half the time I can't remember what I read last week or an author. But one author really sticks with me all the time, and it's Michael Connelly. So when I see his name, I know it's a guaranteed good time. The Overlook is Connelly's latest story - latest novel about this cop named Harry Bosch; and it's about this overlook by Mulholland Dam that overlooks Los Angeles, and somebody is found shot up there. The mystery unfolds as we experience Harry Bosch solving it, and so with every layer that's real, you see there's just more and more confusion and ugliness. The main thing I like about all of Michael Connelly's books, especially this one, is they're set in Los Angeles. I was born in Los Angeles, and I know every corner of it; and so when he describes a murder that took place on the corner of Figueroa Terrace and Temple, which I'm just pulling this off the top of my head 'cause I don't think that is a real intersection - I've been there, and I actually lived in many places he's talking about. So he's so authentic, and he just captures LA in such a great way that it's just a great ride to go along with him. It's such a popular genre that everybody from young kids to grannies reads it, so I would just say anybody who wants a thrill can pick up any Michael Connelly book, especially The Overlook. I'd give The Overlook three stars."
