The Late Show by Michael Connelly - a new series featuring Renee Ballard, a detective who works the night shift in the Hollywood division of the LAPD. Thus the title. She's working this shift as punishment for losing a sexual harassment case against her former supervisor and what she doesn't like is never being able to follow up on a case. Until one night when two separate cases cause her to start investigating on her time off. Way, way too much police jargon and details of paperwork as if the author wants to impress us with his inner knowledge. I found Renee not so much unlikable as I just didn't care. I feel the author is jumping on the woman is strong bandwagon without giving her much character. My opinion is not shared by the majority on Goodreads.
2 stars
