Product Description

The Concrete Blonde:
This high-voltage thriller opens with Homicide Detective Bosch battling charges as the chief defendant in a civil suit against the LAPD. The family of a notorious serial killer whom Bosch shot during an arrest four years ago has accused Bosch of killing the wrong man. This allegation becomes horrifyingly plausible when a new murder occurs with all the hallmarks of the dead slayer's style.

The Last Coyote:
Harry attacked his commanding officer and is suspended indefinitely, pending a psychiatric evaluation. At first he resists the LAPD shrink, but finally recognizes that something is troubling him and has for a long time. In 1961, when Harry was twelve, his mother, a prostitute, was brutally murdered with no one ever accused of the crime.

Trunk Music:
Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge. But his first case is a little more than he bargained for. It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what looks like "trunk music," a Mafia hit.

All three were great stories and though early adventures in the series, I enjoyed going back and hearing books I had not heard before.

Michael Connelly keeps it simple, and the characters are believable ( at least for a mystery) I reccomend his writings to anyone who enjoys dective styled reality and good plots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Connelly Fan, March 11, 2009

By	M. Weeks "professional mom" (MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like anything Michael Connelly writes, so of course, I enjoyed this CD collection. The only complaint I have is that it is abridged, but I probably new that when I ordered it and just forgot later.

This CD collection follows his first two books starring the hero, Harry Bosch: "The Black Echo" and "The Black Ice." "The Concrete Blonde," first in this collection, explains some illusions made in the first two books regarding the dollmaker case. Personally, I felt that "The Black Echo" was a little harder to read (still great, though). It seemed a bit "dark," and the character seems to improve for many reasons through the second book and on. He is a brooding, under-appreciated police officer, however, so much of his story is kind of dark.

In this collection, Harry Bosch continues to grow as a protagonist. We understand him better and better, and he becomes even more sympathetic as the series continues. Michael Connelly's storytelling is entertaining and engaging. Sometimes, you can't put it down.

I enjoy the Harry Bosch series, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys mystery thrillers with a bit of relationships thrown in for good measure. They are pretty quick reads, too, if you would want to read the actual books!
