The Waiting, Connelly - B

                  The Bosch series is moving on with Renee Ballard, and now Maddie Bosch, taking center stage. Maddie begins working for Ballard's Unsolved Cases unit as a paid volunteer one day per week. Thanks to advances in DNA technology, the unit is solving more and more cases. The primary case involves a serial rapist and killer whose DNA surfaces from a son he didn't even know he had. The son has been adopted and it takes a while to find out who his real dad is. The unit does great work, and Maddie unilaterally solves the Black Dahlia murder in her free time. Harry's role is limited to a minimal amount of help to Ballard, who has to jump through some hoops to recover her stolen badge. As always, a delight.
