The Waiting

The Waiting has been sitting in my kindle for the past six months, patiently um, waiting, to be read. I have finally remedied that, and crikey, what a page turner. 🌊

Ballard, our surf loving detective, and her team of volunteers are back in the Open/Unsolved unit. There's a new addition to the team, none other than Maddie Bosch, Harry's daughter. 🌊

There's quite a lot going on in The Waiting, what with the unit trying to close two cases, (one from the 1990's, the other from the 1950's), and Ballard trying to hide the fact she made an error that may well cost her her job. Add in a couple of sub-plots, and there's plenty there to keep the little grey cells busy. 🌊

Harry Bosch had little more than a cameo role in this book. The fact that Maddie has now joined Ballard's team would seem to suggest that the end is nigh for Harry. 😔

Really getting tired of Connelly feeling the need to interject his politics into his books recently. What happened to just telling a good story? We are bombarded with politics all day every day. Do these authors not understand we read books to have an escape from the constant bickering?
