My favourite passage from the book:
Jerry Edgar had a warrant knock that sounded like no other Bosch had ever heard. Like a gifted athlete who can focus the forces of his whole body into the swing of a bat or the dunking of a basketball, Edgar could put his whole weight and six-foot-four frame into his knock. It was as though he could call down and concentrate all the power and fury of the righteous into the fist of his large left hand. He'd plant his feet firmly and stand sideways to the door. He'd raise his left arm, bend the elbow to less than thirty degrees and hit the door with the fleshy side of his fist. It was a backhand knock, but he was able to fire the pistons of this muscle assembly so quickly that it sounded like the staccato bark of a machine gun. What it sounded like was Judgement Day.
City of Bones has been nominated for the 2003 Edgar Award for Best Novel and named a Notable Book Of The Year by The New York Times. Want to know what the book is about? Read all about it here on Connelly's official website!
Some books do not require a long review. A few words would suffice. This is it. Another book that does not disappoint by a consistently top-notch author.
Happy reading.
Rating: 5/5
