Despite my minor grumbling about my last Michael Connelly, I had rated it a 'Read' and began another one a few weeks ago. In Lost Light Harry Bosch has retired from the police service and decides to reopen an unsolved mystery. He is egged on by an ex-colleague, who is now on a ventilator. The story is told in first person and interestingly enough, it makes Harry less unlikeable. Though it does make the story telling more boring. Overall, I had mentally downgraded Harry Bosch to 'Read if you have the time'.
Notwithstanding, I then began Nine Dragons. However, halfway through I gave up. I was simply not keen on knowing if the insufferable Harry Bosch had saved his daughter from the Triad (it is not a spoiler alert if you have read the back page and the first two pages and have half a brain to put two and two together).
I put the book aside, took up another book and felt really light. No more Michael Connelly for me
For a while, maybe? Methinks, I overdid it.

I agree - Nine Dragons was pretty bad. I was kinda surprised that none of the people surrounding him gave him a nice, hard kick (oh, so many opportunities wasted). You should have asked me before taking the book to Mumbai :-).
