I remember when this book came out how far behind I was on the author’s books and thinking I’d never get to it. And yet here I am. I found that Ballard shared quite a bit with the author’s Harry Bosch character. I’m not saying I didn’t like her, but I felt like she was a bit too familiar. Maybe that will change when I see them together. And again, I did like getting to meet her here and am looking forward to seeing what else happens to her. The mystery was very compelling. I saw a few things coming early, but there were some great twists that took me by surprise as well. I also enjoyed the nod to the Bosch TV show, which I guess means it is time for me to start watching it. Do keep in mind this is a police procedural, so the content is stronger than in the cozies I often read. If you haven’t met Ballard yet, you’ll be happy you picked up this book.
With two storylines, there was plenty of keep the story moving forward. I enjoyed seeing Bosch’s relationship with his new partner, which wasn’t a cliché from previous entries in the series. Unfortunately, there were still plenty of recycled things I did see coming. Don’t get me wrong, I still got caught up in the story, and old fans will still want to read it. But hopefully, we can get some fresh complications moving forward. Both stories were wrapped up well, and that left me feeling satisfied when the book ended. Even with some familiar plot points, fans will still enjoy this book.

Terrance has liked the band from their very start, following them to dive bars to watch them perform. Along the way, he realises he likes Shawn, whereas a lot of others like Jacob. Shawn is aware of the green-eyed man who has been to every show, but because of his troubled past, is determined to keep his distance. That works okay until Terrance applies for, and gets, a temporary job as Hair and Makeup for the music video they are shooting.
This story drew me in as I was reading it, although it also had me shouting aloud at various parts. Terrance is a good soul with pure intentions, too good for the world we live in. So when what happened happened, I can't say as I was surprised. Shawn is very close-lipped regarding everything, but it did surprise me just how little he told his bandmates. You know, the ones who have been with him from the get-go!
This was a good story that I read in one sitting, and works well with the other books in the series. I look forward to whoever comes next! Definitely recommended by me.
