Bosch is now working with Renee

Dark Sacred Night - Michael Connelly

Bosch got a little sentimental and try to help a woman who has become an addict after her daughter was murdered. 

 

Maddie is staying away in college as she didn't really like this woman staying with her dad.

 

Renee is in the night shift. She caught Bosch looking at something in a locked cabin and find out he was looking for his old murder books and note cards.

 

So she got involved. Lucky that she did as Bosch did need help when there is a contract out to have him killed. 

 

The detective story is complex with some detective work with lot of interviews and finding clues. 

 

This is not as good as most of the Bosch series as Renee character has not been well established yet. We know she was not really emotionally healthy, but she is smart. She is also not well like and not trying to find relationship that is more meaningful than an occasional fuck. 

 

The chemistry between the two characters are not there yet. It is not easy as Renee is not a likable character. 

 

Still an enjoyable read. 

 

4.5 stars.
