Currently reading Trunk Music by Michael Connelly.
Tangentially mob related.
I like the Bosch novels but I got to say I find it hackneyed that Connelly sees it necessary to include a love interest for Bosch in every single novel.
It's contrived, unnecessary and adds nothing to the novels - particularly the last one I finished, The Last Coyote.
If anything, the romantic digression took away from that book. It was sharp and focused before the inconceivable, and all too predictable, love interest side story.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
