The Black Echo - by Michael Connelly

I enjoyed this book. It is a reasonably complex murder mystery, with various back-stories. For me, the complexity and the detail was just about right. Some of the language is very odd [to me] - I assume it is LAPD-speak. For example, if you “make” someone, it means that you recognize or identify them. This did not impair my understanding - at added to the atmosphere. The book is set a quarter of a century ago. There are frequent references to pagers and  much rushing off to find pay-phones. It made me happier to be living in 2018.

Overall, I found the story to be well paced and easy to read and I was always happy to get back to it. I may well read more in the Harry Bosch series at some point.
