Almost through The Black Echo by Connelly. I like this mystery: what's behind these murders and robberies? The writer's comments about women gives me pause sometimes, though. I have to keep reminding myself this was written before '92, which is easy enough to remember when I read how Bosch has to find a pay phone so he can call the office to get his messages. That seems so long ago and in a galaxy far, far away now.
It's funny, too, how back then Bosch has had a TV show made about him, and then some 10+ years later that actually happens.
I have also started the long-awaited true story of The Lost City of the Monkey God by Douglas Preston. Jungles and spiders and snakes, oh my! Fascinating. And I love that there's color photos to really bring home what a difficult trek this would be, despite all our new technology.
Any amazing adventures on your reading list this week?
