31. A few

Just finishing Holding, the first novel by British TV personality Graham Norton. Secrets and lies uncovered in a small Irish village. Something along the lines of an Irish version of the Father Brown mysteries, with the priest role played by a small-town cop. A few issues with relationships between the cop and some village folks - didn't seem to make sense - but overall a good read.

Just started The Birdwatcher by William Shaw. My guess is that this will be secrets and lies uncovered in small British village, complete with small-town cop and a new DS with experience at "The Met" (ooh, ahh). About 50 pages in and I'm enjoying it.

Just finished listening to The Late Show by Michael Connelly. Not a Bosch novel, but a good police procedural. Something of 1 from column a and 2 from column b in terms of story lines, including: cop accused of sexual harassment but male partner doesn't back her up and the woman is relegated to the night shift; hard-charging female cop that no one, until the very end, takes seriously; bent cops, etc. A few twists and turns. As with most Michael Connelly books, you won't be disappointed.
