A pairing of my favourite Connelly character, Harry Bosch and my least favourite, Micky Haller. Fortunately Haller does not feature extensively in this book and it is a good enjoyable read. As Bosch has left the force and this foray as an investigator for the defence is a "once off" it is hard to see where Connelly will take Bosch next.... ( )

The Crossing
4 Stars

Retired from the LAPD, Harry Bosch is asked by his half-brother, Mickey Haller, to help a client he believes has been set-up for murder. Crossing the aisle to aid the defense goes against all of Harry's instincts, but as he digs deeper, he exposes a hornet's nest of corruption and murder deep within the police department.

As the identity of the culprits is revealed at the start, the focus of the book revolves around Harry's following the clues to expose them and obtain justice for a man wrongly accused. The fact that the killers are police officers only heightens the tension and the suspense as they seem to hold all of the power.

The interactions between Harry and Mickey are fantastic. Coming to terms with their biological connection is awkward for them both, but they are developing a relationship based on mutual respect despite their disparate roles in the law enforcement community. There is a real sense of brotherly affection intertwined with their bickering.

One element that rubbed me the wrong way was Maddie's characterization. Yes, she is a teenager, but this doesn't explain her sudden animosity and distance toward Harry when they were obviously close in previous books. Definitely not a fan of nasty Maddie!

All in all, an entertaining read and I hope Harry and Mickey team up again. ( )

More of the same from Detective Bosch working with his half-brother The Lincoln Lawyer. A quick read. ( )
