Bosch Private Investigator and daughterInteresting, any idea which characters still involved ? Apart from the really obvious ones
I get that but it’s just not very good, takes itself too seriously to be proper escapism.I mean, it's not trying to be the wire or anything. Just a bit of brain-out fun.
Have been on a video chat thing with both the author and actor, and the mashing was done with his (Connelly’s) involvement and approval, as it were…Having read pretty much all of the Bosch books, it was a bit disturbing how they managed to mash together story lines across a number of different books (and of course change things quite a bit). The books were set much earlier time-wise - before the widespread introduction of mobiles. Interesting to 'see' them having to find a phone box to check back with the station.
Did the same with Rankin’s Rebus and Robinson’s Inspector Banks.Having read pretty much all of the Bosch books, it was a bit disturbing how they managed to mash together story lines across a number of different books (and of course change things quite a bit).

I loved the books, too, so had to check out the Bosch series on TV. The stories in a blender was a bit disconcerting at first, but eventually I decided to just let go of my expectations and enjoy the ride.Loved the books. Usually it means one is disturbed by everything that's not excactly as in the books. This time it was also the 'look and feel' of it that was very far from how I interpreted the books, I think the Mickey Haller movie 'Lincoln Lawyer' was much better in this respect. So, I didn't watch Bosch.
It's a great show, one of those you regret there being no more of. An amazing pad he lives in too.
Yeah, probably best not to have a big feck-off subwoofer in that trailer on stilts either.Not if there's an earthquake .

Speaking of the books, I read 'Concrete Blond' whilst on the beach at a West Indies resort hotel. There was a young American couple staying at the same time and the wife/gf liked to show off her posh store bought breasts at the pool-side fresh water shower at exactly 3PM every afternoon. Coincidentally, this also happened to coincided with my post-beach pool-side happy hour. Somehow, I managed to get the same lounge chair in the shade every afternoon. As it was a family oriented resort, no one else was so gauche as to come off the beach without a cover-up on, even the Germans(!), so this über-narcissistic blond sort of, er...stuck out from the crowd. As bonus, the then wife never quite cottoned on. Good times, and a good read!
P.S. After a day or two, I started to notice the same other married blokes 'reading' round the pool at the same time. In my own mind, I decided to call us the 'Creepy Booby Book Club' (try it, it's difficult to say out loud).
P.P.S. BTW, I did hear Ohm Walsh 'speakers back in the late '70s. The soundfield from these is what makes like Larson, Shahinian, (dare I say Bose?), etc. can only aspire to. Back then, the closest thing to come to these in this respect were the B.I.C. SoundSpan series which a mate of a mate has owned the largest model of (TPR-400?) for decades; conventional drivers in an unconventional arrangement...
B.I.C. SoundSpan TPR-200:
No, No, that's right up my sardonic alley!Maybe the TV-makers will mix Connelly with Fleming and call it 'Concrete Bond'. Sorry, not very funny.
I was particularly taken with Blues for Lila, bu the Greg Foat Band in S7e3… beautiful track!
Indeed. Already downloaded although to be fair this is the standout track…From the "Girl & Robot with Flowers" album available on Bandcamp
