Review: Nine Dragons

Nine Dragons (Harry Bosch, #14; Harry Bosch Universe, #21)Nine Dragons by Michael Connelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A lot of classic Bosch here, with some twists. Unlike most Bosch novels, a good chunk takes place outside of LA. This is also the first of the Bosch novels to bring in Bosch's daughter, Maddie, in a substantial way and we begin to see the important role she will play in his life and the books going forward. It opens up a very different side of Bosch. Even though he's had partners and love interests, he's really a lone operator. But Maddie is going to force Bosch to have to adapt. It'll be interesting to see the similarities and dissimilarities between the tv show relationship and the book relationship.

Overall the story in this was action packed, the mystery took several different turns. Some of it a bit far-fetched, but kept you guessing.
