The Concrete Blonde (Harry Bosch, #3; Harry Bosch Universe, #3)

All my love to Harry Bosch and his creator. I do not how, but the series is getting better and better with every new volume. And it was a 5* to begin with. True, I've seen all the episodes in the TV show so I already am a fan of the character but, still, these books are so remarkably well written that I discover and enjoy the stories all over again. Really, if you like a well written police procedural with a complex main character, do not look further than this series.
When I saw this novel deals with a serial killer, I was not overly enthusiastic. Of course, the author made me eat from his hand in only a few pages. I also thought I will not enjoy revisiting Bosch's civil trial which also features in the 1st season of the TV series. Wrong. There were enough details and twists to keep me hooked to that part as well.

I really love the show on Amazon. How much would you say reading the books adds to your undestanding of the stories and the character? I imagine, for starters, it goes into some details in greater depth than a show ever could.

When the case is in the show there are more details but also changes in the plot. So, definitely a different experience.

Excellent review Adina. You are so right about your description of this series. It is so well-written. Even if we have seen the tv series, you want to dive into the books. They are amazing! Thank you. ☺️
