Harry Bosch is back working homicide, and his first case involves a body left in a car trunk. It looks like the victim was the victim of a mob hit, and he has connections in Las Vegas. Is the case really going to be that simple?

Bosch’s cases are always fun, and this book is no exception. I was able to spot a couple of the twists coming a little early, but that was a minor complaint. The characters are strong, both returning and new. A face from Bosch’s past comes back into his life here, and I love his new lieutenant.

Based on a DC comic series this is the tale of 3 women who decide to play gangster up in hells kitchen when their mob connected husbands are sent to prison for 3 years.Their rise to power is noticed by the mafia and they eventually go into business together but things start to come off track when their husbands are released from jail early.

I have to say I've never ever been a fan of melissa mcCarthy but she is actually ok in this along with her two other co stars.There were a few flaws to this film,the pace of it is often slow and lacks some intensity but still an enjoyable crime drama overall.

Movie Favorite

"There are three movies the witnessings of which have been the most traumatic in my moviegoing times. Viridiana was one, seen in a London cinema, maybe up between Hampstead and Highgate Tubes, in 1990 or so. Another was Straw Dogs (also available as a Criterion release). The third was The Elephant Man, one of the few movies to which I remember my mother taking me. A commonality in all three (the commonality from which I recoiled) is the cruelty of the mob, which remains one of my biggest fears. I put these two movies in this list because I can’t help but value what they did to me, what they allowed me to comprehend about my relationship to the crowd."
