It's been awhile since I read a Harry Bosch novel...and I'm glad I took the break. I'm not sure if The Closers is the best one so far (though I did skip a couple given library availability), but I found myself tied to it more strongly than the previous novels in the series. Part of it is that my attention span isn't what it used to be - and this one was pretty easy to follow. Connelly didn't get carried away with too many false leads or crazy side stories. The beginning of this one finds Bosch back on the force after a short retirement. He's assigned to a cold-case unit with his old partner and they're given a case in which a DNA match has been made potentially solving the murder of a bi-racial high school girl. Of course, the match can't possibly be the killer - that would be too easy - but finding the match will possibly lead them to the right guy. But, not without complications and sinister police department involvement. As usual, Bosch is irreverant and can't quite bring himself to be a complete team player with his partner, but post-retirement, he did seem a bit more Zen, and a lot more likeable.
