 Crouch does it again! A total heart pounding thriller. Clear the calendar and make a fresh pot of coffee before starting this one. It is a mind-boggler you truly can't put down! |  Remember how fun and smart the movie, Shakespeare in Love, was? Well groundlings it's time to drop a penny in the box for another raucous and rowdy romp to Elizabethan England. This book may not have an orchestrated sound track; but, even better, it has Bernard Cornwell's skills of story telling and his ability to apply intimate historical detail. The author makes me dream of how grand it would have been to be a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men! |  I probably should be honest up front and confess that Harry Bosch is my favorite detective. That being said, this was such a good book! Connelly's characters are people you really grow to care about. If you are one of those people who can't jump into a series in the middle - or in this case, the most recent - go ahead and start with the Black Echo. Connelly is pure reading enjoyment. |
