The Overlook by Michael Connelly

This was my first Michael Connelly mystery, and after reading The Overlook, I am tempted to go back for more. This is his latest novel, short and to the point, compared to other recent mysteries of his. I rather liked how concise and efficient his writing is, wasting no dialog or unnecessary scenes. LAPD detective Harry Bosch takes us through this police procedural mystery as a recurrent character in Connolly’s books, the wiley veteran detective who solves the case by relying on his instincts and looking past evidence that seems all too obvious. Terrorism enters into the plot, which gets the FBI involved in the case. And Harry, being the rogue cop that he is, keeps some secrets from the Feds because he feels they are hindering his murder investigation. It all makes for an entertaining and quick read.
