Another Bosch Spinoff

Amazon Studios has just announced further expansion of the Bosch universe. With the Bosch spin-off Bosch: Legacy having just been renewed for a second season on Freevee, two additional Bosch spin-offs had just been added to the docket. One of the new spinoffs announced is a still untitled project that will follow Detective Renée Ballard in her work in the cold case division of the LAPD.
Interesting.
I'm on book #3 of the Bosch/Ballard series and I'm enjoying - in a popcorn kind of way.
With Harry retired from the LAPD, and now working with Honey (Money) Chandler in the Legacy series, I wonder how much Harry will be in the new spinoff. He's a major player in the books, of course.

Oh I'm so down for this.
I really liked the Ballard books. Like Bosch, she's an outsider in the department. But because she works the Late Show, she has even more latitude to go off freelancing.

Like I said, I'm only on #3 right now, but they seem to be "tighter" than the early Bosch books. Yeah, the early ones are good, they're all "good," but it was a while before it seems that Connelly hit his stride. Although the Ballard books are pretty formulaic - two concurrent (or more) cases, lots out "outsider" stuff, etc - I get better sense of direction with them than I did with the early Bosch books.

Yeah, I think that's accurate. Also, how Ballard deals with office politics is different than Bosch. She often plans ahead when she goes off the reservation, while Bosch is more of a "we'll figure it out on the way to the courthouse" kind of detective.

Interesting comment, considering how, today, I read about her getting a judge to approve a wiretap with a "questionable" authorization from her superior. I wonder if that deception will come around to bite her in the ass....

That gets good is all I'll say.
