The Overlook by Michael Connelly

Another in the series of books featuring grizzled homicide detective Harry Bosch. In this one he's investigating the shooting death of an individual who handled radioactive material for the treatment of cancerous tumors. When it's discovered that the quantity he had with him at the time of his death is missing the homicide investigation takes on a homeland security dimension.

I found this to be an easy read, as all the other Bosch books have been. I like Connelly's direct style, with very little fluff. Though the resolution was a bit predictable for me, I thought the book was quite entertaining.

Anyone else read this one? How do you feel it compares to the others in the series?

I've only read The Closers so far, but I liked it and want to get the whole series from the beginning. The Black Echo comes first, no?

Yes, that's the first one. I haven't read that one either but it's on my list. I liked The Closers quite a bit and Concrete Blond was also quite good.
