Another great one from Michael Connelly. In fact, one of the best of his that I've read. If you are from the L.A. area you will especially enjoy following Harry Bosch all around town and picturing it in your minds eye. The fact that I frequently drive to work right past one of the murder scenes depicted in the book kind of tickles me, I must admit. Even if you aren't familiar with L.A., the mystery will really grab you. It's really a modern day noir thriller.

Harry Bosch is on trial for killing an unarmed man believed to be a serial killer. However, a new body has been found and Harry is starting to believe that maybe he did kill an innocent man. This book jumps back and forth between the trial and the murder investigation. An awful lot of tedious court room drama and some exciting police work balance out this story. Another great Bosch tale.

If you love Harry Bosch, you love this one. He is about to be discredited again, but discovers a new twist on a 4-year-old case that redeems him. As usual, in his private life, Harry means to open up and have a "real" relationship, but his job leaves him little time to tend to such matters.
It's another good read from Connelly -- suspenseful and multi-layered.

The more I read of Connelly the more I fall in love with this author. The plot was delivered in such a way it kept me enticed until the end. The utilization of his characters is very creative. This was an excellent read and just makes me read more.

Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch, is one of my favorite detectives and this book highlights just how stubborn Harry can be when tracking down a killer. Even tho Harry is on trial in a wrongful death suit by a serial killer's widow, Harry is not too distracted to hunt down a ruthless copycat killer before he strikes again.

Another solid entry in the Harry Bosch series. Love the writing, the setting and the characters. Interesting story line grabs you from the first page and never lets go. I'm on to the next in the series. Highly recommend.

I am reading right now, but I can give a review because this is the second reading of this book for me. I read it 20 years ago,and it is typical Michael Connelly. Fast paced and hard to put down. Harry Bosch is my favorite book character, I can't get enough of him. I am always waiting for the next Bosch book from Connelly. I wanted my sister to start on a Michael Connelly journey so I actually got this one for her, but decided to read it again before I sent it to her...If you read this book you will not be disappointed.

Good book. I'm beginning to think Michael Connelly doesn't write anything BUT good books. This is another investigative/murder who-done-it type book where Harry Bosch is the man to call when you want to get things stirred up and see things start to happen. Harry may not have have the answers but he's stubborn and he'll stick to a case until he figures it out.

This review is for the abridged audio cassette version.

There are quite a few reviews lauding the main character, Harry Bosch, and in my opinion he's a keeper (though his lady-friend seems a bit whiny).

This particular abridged version of the book is entertaining and satisfying, overall. The book has been abridged down to approximately 3 hours. I don't know if it's the publisher (Nova Audiobooks) or just the act of such heavy abridgement, but there are jumps and gaps that leave the listener (me) wondering, "How did he come to that conclusion?"

I think those jumps and gaps are to be expected, and the full-length version will (I assume) fill in the holes. This version is just fine, though.
