Michael Connelly CD Collection 2: The Concrete Blonde, The Last Coyote, Trunk Music (Harry Bosch Series)

I like anything Michael Connelly writes, so of course, I enjoyed this CD collection. The only complaint I have is that it is abridged, but I probably new that when I ordered it and just forgot later.

This CD collection follows his first two books starring the hero, Harry Bosch: "The Black Echo" and "The Black Ice." "The Concrete Blonde," first in this collection, explains some illusions made in the first two books regarding the dollmaker case. Personally, I felt that "The Black Echo" was a little harder to read (still great, though). It seemed a bit "dark," and the character seems to improve for many reasons through the second book and on. He is a brooding, under-appreciated police officer, however, so much of his story is kind of dark.

In this collection, Harry Bosch continues to grow as a protagonist. We understand him better and better, and he becomes even more sympathetic as the series continues. Michael Connelly's storytelling is entertaining and engaging. Sometimes, you can't put it down.

I enjoy the Harry Bosch series, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys mystery thrillers with a bit of relationships thrown in for good measure. They are pretty quick reads, too, if you would want to read the actual books!

All three were great stories and though early adventures in the series, I enjoyed going back and hearing books I had not heard before.

This was an unusal collection for me to try but I have enjoyed every minute of it. I like the sets because I listen to them everyday to and from work and a good audiobook while driving can be as good as good book in your home, in that comfortable chair and those comfortable lounging pants.

I wish the publisher labeled the chapters with actual titles and chapters instead of j2-a like they do. It can get very confusing when you download it and have to search for a chapter where you left off or even know for sure what is next
