THE OVERLOOK (Michael Connelly) - July 26/26

 This shorter than usual book was something a little different, but I enjoyed it. The final third was especially quite fast paced. ***1/2 out of ****

ECHO PARK (Michael Connelly) - July 22/26

 Some of the minutia of the case did get a little tiresome, admittedly, but mostly this is a solid Bosch story. ***1/2 out of ****

LOVE YOU MORE (Emily Giffin) - July 16/26

 Meh, I wasn’t crazy about this. It’s a breezy read but the characters are pretty annoying. ** out of ****

THE LINCOLN LAWYER (Michael Connelly) - July 11/26

 I enjoyed this but it did feel quite long in parts. Mickey is a good character, though, and the final stretch was impressively electrifying. **1/2 out of ****
