Bosch in his final glory. (I think.) Felt Ballard was very thin. Much more interesting in first titles.

This week read Sandford’s Righteous Prey. Fun Lucas/Virgil humor. More like a lighthearted caper novel than thriller. Mostly.

Virgil is writing a novel so they talk book talk which is also fun.

Side note: agree publishing seems to have gone off the rails lately. A best selling author lost me when describing Puget Sound as a bay. Were they thinking of Chesapeake Bay? (East coast publishers?) Literacy does not seem to be valued as it once was.
