Never thought about it really crisgal .I've read of all of them and have the latest on order from the library .
I know he lives off Woodrow Wilson Drive which is a real place in Hollywood .
I would imagine the places are real otherwise it wouldn't read right .

i'm really enjoying them, but i did something silly. i read a short story collection, and then an excerpt from his latest novel. Of course i had to knw what happened so i bought it and read it. now i've gone back to the start - (black echo, black ice) and i know what he's doing years down the line!
I really wish i hadn't and i'm trying not to think about it!
Lol ..the books are great .I'm a huge fan .
You see how his life spans out .I made sure I read them in order having been hooked by the first one .
MC has also written The Lincoln Lawyer series .
They're about Harrys half brother ,Mickey Haller .
Try Google maps - you might be able to walk down the streets that the crimes are set in.
The book "Echo Park" is set in Echo park which is an area in Los Angeles, south east of Hollywood. I've always assumed the places Michael Connelly writes about are real.
I really enjoy HB novels too. He seems to be quite a lonely soul.
HB novels which one do I start with pls ?
Question Author
The black echo x
I absolutely love Michael Connolly's Harry Bosch books, I think I read them all by now. It seems to me that the places he describes are real, I think that is why I enjoy the books. The Last Coyote had a good description of of the surroundings, he watched the lone coyote slink away from the deck of his house. I think his first book was made into a film with Clint Eastwood playing the part of Harry.
Yes they are real. I started reading his books before I went to LA. Can't remember which book it was in, but he mentions having a doughnut in 'Bobs Doughnuts' in the Farmers Market - I was reading the book and shouting 'I've been there and had a doughnut too'. Bosch is his best character I think.
Question Author
you mean 'dirty harry' was harry bosch??
No - from internet search

With The Lincoln Lawyer just released, fans of crime novelist Michael Connelly might wonder why more of his novels (26 to date) haven't made it to the screen. His only other adapted work so far is Clint Eastwood's awful 2002 Blood Work, but that may be about to change, with the news that Connelly has retrieved the rights to his Harry Bosch novels from a twenty-year development hell at Paramount.
