Our view
“The Wrong Side of Goodbye” runs two investigations side by side, and neither feels like the lesser story. Connelly keeps the twists believable, and Los Angeles is closely observed. Some readers value how open-minded Bosch is about race, gender and sexuality. Nineteen volumes in, the series shows no sign of tiring.
