THE CHAIN (Adrian McKinty) - October 24/26

 I really wanted to like this more but I did find myself rushing through it to get it over with sooner. It’s a good premise but the writing style (so many short sentences) really began to get on my nerves. **1/2 out of ****

THE DROP (Michael Connelly) - October 20/26

 This is probably one of my favorite Bosch novels. Both cases are interesting and Bosch gets plenty of good moments and lines. **** out of ****

THE FIFTH WITNESS (Michael Connelly) - October 11/26

 I’m not sure why I was initially dragging my feet with this one because it really became quite the page-turner in its second half. I’m officially on board with the Lincoln Lawyer series. ***1/2 out of ****
