Nightshade, Connelly - B-

        After decades of the likes of Harry Bosch, Mickey Haller, and Renee Ballard, Connelly introduces Det. Stillwell (no first name), who has been punished by the LAPD, and banished to the substation on Catalina Island. Not much ever happens on Catalina, until one Memorial Day weekend, a body shows up in the harbor with an anchor weighing it down. The floater was a young woman recently fired from a prestigious private yacht club on the island. Stil works it, sometimes on his own and sometimes with folks 'overtown.' He creatively solves it and as always, we have a really great police procedural. But in terms of interesting characters, Stil ain't no Harry or Mickey.
