Guilty by David Baldacci
Always liked it, but made feel "grubby and greasy" after reading. Growing up in the '60s and early '70s meant a lot of Ww2 reminders still around-old gun emplacements, tank traps, domestic air raid shelters etc. Add onto that family members who still hoarded foodstuffs "in case", and the widespread smelliness and obvious poor health of a lot of the population meant that it seemed very "of the now".Orwell's 1984, always heard it referenced but actually reading it myself now. Next on the to read pile is "A stranger to myself" by Willy Peter Reese / Stefan Schmitz.
The Harry Bosch book Series are outstanding..Michael Connelly is a superb author.
Nine books in, and I've yet to be disappointed by the lean, muscular writing of the Harry Bosch series.
When I heard there was a TV adaptation of Bosch, I was initially reluctant to sample it. Having recently watched the 2 seasons, I have been mightily impressed.
