Read these on holiday. Two more excellent books, largely independent of the Bosch series, which stand on their own and would make for great films. Actually, I think one of them has been! I’ll have to track down a copy…
I’ve read a lot of Morse novels this year too (had the complete set given to me for Christmas) and whilst I love them, and the remembrance of Oxford which they provoke, I find a US setting more relaxing, precisely because it is more foreign.
Perhaps the reverse is why British mysteries are so enormously popular in North America!
