Rediscovering Michael Connelly

 It was in early 2000s I discovered Michael Connelly. I chanced upon a book of crime writers in a book shop, looked at a few names and searched for authors in the shop. I found two authors Connelly and Coben. And picked up their books and there was no looking back. They both became my new favourite authors. Bosch and Bolitar opposites side of a coin. Very different kind of detectives and inhabiting similar worlds.

At that point, I had access to more Connelly books than Coben and I read quite a lot. But over the years, my reading is not as prolific as before and while I still picked up the Coben books on its release I havent read Connelly for a while after reading Lincoln Lawyer. 

Recently, I picked up Desert Star and immensely enjoyed it and was wondering why I stopped reading Connelly.

Nelophobia

 Looks like we suffer from the fear of breaking glass- Nelophobia. Not sure if this is something our dear AI made up or something that we truly have.

 If we don't doubt everything, there are no new truths to be found!
