Historia
In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet nine years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but all other evidence is virtually nonexistent. Now Bosch and rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case.

Average in Bosch terms
Revisado: 09-07-24
Story build up was good, typical in Bosch series. But the conclusion felt rushed. I’m not an author, but it felt like the ending could have been expanded upon, especially the ending to the nun.

Historia
In The Normans, Lars Brownworth follows their story, from the first shock of a Viking raid on an Irish monastery to the exile of the last Norman Prince of Antioch. In the process, he brings to vivid life the Norman tapestry's rich cast of characters: figures like Rollo the Walker, William Iron-Arm, Tancred the Monkey King, and Robert Guiscard. The Normans presents a fascinating glimpse of a time when a group of restless adventurers had the world at their fingertips.

Good story telling and overview
Revisado: 02-12-23
Lots of good details, focusing on the driven leaders coming out of Normandy in the 10th century and beyond. Just know there are more in depth volumes.

Historia
With the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Looming Tower, Lawrence Wright became generally acknowledged as one of our major journalists writing on terrorism in the Middle East. This collection draws on several articles he wrote while researching that book as well as many that he's written since, following where and how al-Qaeda and its core cultlike beliefs have morphed and spread.

Compelling book that skips analysis for narratives
Revisado: 03-20-19
I did enjoy the book, but it wasn't what I was looking for. The first 5 chapters are abridged histories of the principals, be they a group or individual, that held pivotal roles up to 9/11 attacks. Then the book shifts to in depth descriptions of geopolitics and providing additional details on select stories that support the previously described layout.
I was looking for more analysis and details on the completed operations of ISIL and the impact in the region and counterterrorism. I guess I will look elsewhere.

Good listen
Revisado: 03-21-18
Graphic, detailed story from thean who lived through it. In places, the author is over exaggerating, and pulled me out of the story. Good listen otherwise.
