City of Bones
by Michael Connelly

I don’t know how I missed City of Bones by Michael Connelly for so many years. I am a Connelly fan and as far as I know I have read all the others. There are far too many books today that have a boring sameness to them. By the end of the first chapter you know what is going to happen, which is often nothing, and you have to yawn your way through a couple of hundred more pages to the end. Connelly keeps you guessing from page to page. The characters are usually different from anyone you know, but are surprisingly real. I you haven’t read any of Connelly’s books, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. You need to grab City of Bones and find a good seat because you are likely to be there until you reach the last page. It is a darn good read and it will keep you entertained.
