The Black Echo (Harry Bosch, Bk 1) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


Set in L.A. in the early 1990's - Detective Harry Bosch draws the short straw and is called out to what looks like just another junky's death. Things get personal real quick, as Harry is the one who IDs the body - a fellow 'tunnel rat' from Viet Nam. Author Michael Connelly does his usual round-abouts, casting doubt and suspicion on everyone within a stone's throw of Harry. We get a pretty good glimpse into Harry's background through flashbacks. Overall this was a good story - not TOO many twists and turns as some of Connelly's other books. Added bonus was listing to Dick Hill narrate.
