Thanks, I'm looking for someone new to read, I'll definitely check him out. Have you read any Rick Riordon's adult Trey Navare series? So sad he went YA.

Crais and Connelly are in my top five. But numero uno for me is Nelson DeMille. His John Corey character, especially, is my favorite. Probably because of his wise-ass nature, something I can identify with.
I havent read him. I will have to look him up.

I found another Crais fan! He doesn't usually get mentioned in such lists, but I've always liked his stuff.
Oh I'm a hard-core Crias fan. I have two signed books by him and two by Connelly easily my prized possessions! Crais was my inspiration for my MC in my first book ( FALLEN) And I strive to incorporate Connelly's quiet characters in my own work- not that I come close but I'll read anything these guys write!

I adore Connelly's writing style, but my favorite for characterization is Robert Crais. He and Connelly are the only ones I will buy the hardback as soon as it is released. I think Michael Connelley has done a great job of writing Bosch as the character ages. He isn't as rash and angry as he once was. Bosch always was a 'thinker' but the older the character gets the less physical he has become in the books. My favorite book in the Bosch series is The Last Coyote. Harry needs to confront his demons head on. A very introspective narrative. Not everyone's taste. but I really like introspective.
