Book Club - August 2023 Reading List 📚
The best true crime mysteries and psychological thrillers keep you turning page after page, trying to answer the question, “Who dunnit?”
They are also a great exercise in critical thinking, deduction, and analysis as you try to solve the crime before the author lays it all out.
One of my favorite authors, Michael Connelly, is a masterful storyteller, and his novels explore the thematic depths of the good and evil that live within all of us and make us human.
Michael Connelly lays out the story through the police procedural process in his best-selling Harry Bosch series, and the depth of the star detective character tempts you to explore if any similar thoughts, traits, and beliefs exist within yourself.
There are also some great audiobook recommendations at the end of this post for those who prefer reading with Audible.
Author of the Month - Michael Connelly
If you’re looking for a consistently thrilling, unpredictable, and enjoyable series, the Harry Bosch Series by Michael Connelly is highly recommended.
But if you are more interested in the legal procedure, I highly recommend the Lincoln Lawyer series, also by Michael Connelly.
