Rainy days and Mondays (off) ...lovely


A dark, drizzly day. Good thing I got Tug walked early.


Currently reading THE REVERSAL by Michael Connelly. Here is a description:




Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.

It was just published and has 400 pages. I'm reading it on the Kindle. Connelly has a way with words that is sharp and concise. It's like reading an episode of Law & Order. Everything you want in a police procedural and nothing you don't. This one is alternating in writing styles per his two series: the Bosch chapters are in 3rd person; the Mickey chapters are in 1st person. So far it's working.


Working a bit on the newsletter, reading a bit, napping a bit. Just that kind of day. Tomorrow, last day errands for the trip.


Much love,
