With a little extra time on my hands in the Geriatric Ward, I was able to finish the second book in the Harry Bosch Universe. The Black Ice took me back to the streets of Los Angeles and began with the apparent suicide of a police officer in a seedy Hollywood hotel. Although Bosch is not “officially” assigned to the case, something about the scene does not set well with him, so he begins to look at things off the record.
Black Ice is the latest drug of choice on the street and is the source of a major rivalry between makers in Mexicali and Honolulu. Bosch discovers that the officer was involved in a major drug ring that takes him south of the border and the workings of the powerful drug cartel.
The Black Ice certainly held my attention and was an entertaining read. A part of My Library Shelf, I found the novel very similar to the first volume in the series. I will continue reading the Connelly books on my shelf, but I’m hoping that the plot lines find some individuality in order to maintain my interest.
What’s up next? I’m returning to Karen Kingsbury’s 9/11 series and reading the final volume in the set – Remember Tuesday Morning.
