Trunk Music (A Detective Harry Bosch Novel) by Michael Connelly



An introductory excerpt to the title of the book:

"...Bosch, you there?"


"Yeah, I'm here.  Yeah, capped twice in the trunk."


"Trunk music."


"What?"


"It's a wise guy saying outta Chicago.  You know, when they whack some poor slob they say, 'Oh, Tony?  Don't worry about Tony.  He's trunk music now.  You won't see him no more."

Trunk Music is one of the earliest Harry Bosch novels, the fifth book to be precise, published more than ten years ago in 1997.  In 1998, it was nominated for the Macavity Awards Best Novel.  Bosch is such a skilful writer that no matter when his books were written, they are purely timeless.  He does his research well and his details are impeccable.  What more can I say?  I highly recommend Trunk Music and again, the others in the collection.  Check out the synopsis, excerpt and reviews here. 

Rating:  5/5
