The Overlook - Michael Connelly

It's difficult to go wrong with Michael Connelly a consistently excellent author.

Harry Bosch is a compelling character you try to visualise. I have not yet succeeded but I like the character. In The Overlook the action unfolds at quite some pace. The story's premise allows a justified sideswipe at some of our post 9/11 pre-occupations.

I felt a little short changed with my UK paperback version as it contains an extract of the next story and a strangely conceived "interview" between the author and his protagonist. These reduce somewhat the number of pages occupied by the story but it was a good straight through read and I will move on with "The Brass Verdict".
