Ah 90s! Initially I kept thinking why nobody has the cellphone, why no one was using phone to check the breaking news, or tracking the suspect by the phone, and after few chapters I realized that the book came out in 96. Once I got past that bump it was a smooth ride, a little too smooth for my taste.
Two crime stories were intertwined here and only when one is solved that we get the clear picture. While the characters in here were likable but, imo, were not mashed together well. And the criminal was predictable after a certain point and I couldn't enjoy it more.
Overall I enjoyed the first mystery enough to go and read second book.

I watched Bosch on Prime... I loved it... This looks like a story going parallel in Bosch world. Looking forward on what you think about this one ...:)

few chapters in and its good so far. :)
Read this so many years ago and loved it, but yeah, it must feel a bit dated now :)
