I agree with Harry. I've read all the Harry Bosch novels and enjoyed every one.

I've read everything by Michael Connelly and automatically buy anything new he writes. Really good reads. I can't see the shortcover offer though, it seems it's not available in my area.

I stacked it with the Apple2 discount code this morning and got it for $7.99US
I have the compilation of the first 3 novels but have never read them. My 16yo son read them and really liked it. |

I'm a huge fan of the Harry Bosch novels. Really good reading. Tense, witty and all-too real. Brilliant books.
Plus, I got into Raymond Chandler through these books as he was a major influence on Connelly's style which was an added bonus! |

Oh, but Raymond Chandler comes first! What would detective fiction be without him?
Anyone who loves Connelly's Bosch should also try Ian Rankin's Rebus. They both have a similar feel for me, with the cultural differences that come from the different settings: LA and Edinburgh. Two of my favourite authors (well three, counting Chandler of course) |

Amazon finally has these Harry Bosch bundles at a discount now too - $9.99 for each volume. There's apparently a third volume planned too.

Thanks, arcadata! I got volume 1 previously, so now I have to hurry up and read it to see if I want #2. lol.
Volume 2 also available at Sony, B&N and Kobo for $9.99: http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/mic...00000000091201 B&N: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The...nnelly+michael Kobo: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Harry...WBg/page1.html Volume 1 at all 3 places but showing at $17.99, so maybe the price is going back up. |

I used to be a huge Wambaugh fan then he started to slow down in his writing and I switched to Connelly who is simply great if you like the LA Detective genre. After a hiatus I went back and read the Wambaugh Hollywood series. I have to say, I like the Connelly Bosch novels more.
