Kevin R. Tipple replied to David DeLee's discussion Harry Bosch on TV"I never saw Connelly say that. One would think he should know.
I'm not a fan of the actor that is playing Bosch and he isn't who I imagine Bosch to be. Still, it would be nice if this deal really works."
David DeLee replied to David DeLee's discussion Harry Bosch on TV"Thanks Kevin,
I saw that and was going to post it but then Connelly came out with a post saying it was not yet confirmed. Weird, but it looks pretty solid.
Also saw Chris Carter's THE AFTER got picked up also. I liked that one, too."

Review: "Outrage At Blanco" by Bill Crider
A trip to town and back for Ellie Taine has gone very wrong as this western from author Bill Crider begins. Just outside of the small Texas town of Blanco she had made the mistake of stopping for the two men who seemed friendly. As it became clear they had something else on their minds, she thought they only meant to rob her. Unfortunately for Ellie, robbery wasn’t what they wanted.
