"Really good detective fiction. More than action it is about getting inside the head of a detective who tries to figure out how something went down. I like the experience of working through his thinking with him. He also gives voice to that part in all of us that wants to pursue the truth, or what we believe to be the truth, with a freedom from fear about authority and rules. Harry Bosch is a good kind of rogue. Fun reading on vacation or before bed."
"I listened to this book. The reader was rather bland which took away from the book. Every character in the book had basically the same "voice". Jerry Edgar, Bosch's partner sounded exactly like Bosch and so on. The storyline was not one of Connelly's best and I have to wonder why he wrote this book. I've read or listened to most of Connelly's Harry Bosch books and this is the weakest one. It received bad reviews on Audible.com because of the reader, Jay Fernandez. NOTE: At some point Len Cariou also narrated an edition. Audible.com did not have his version, which is no doubt better than the one I listened to.
My thinking is that the reader didn't help what is, essentially, an average book. I didn't hate it but except for the last several lines, it did not enrich Connelly's Harry Bosch. Those last lines are a set up for the next book in the series - Lost Light. I'm hoping Harry shows up refreshed and renewed in that one!"
"for some reason, the first time that i read this book, i didn't register it which is all right, because it is one i don't mind rereading because Harry Bosch is such a great character. Michael Connelly is so good at describing the crime scenes and the other scenes as well, so that you can just picture them.
it's somewhat surprising that none of the Harry Bosch novels have been filmed. It's harder to identify a victim, when all you have are the bones. For Harry and his partner, that's enough. A good plot."
"Another ho-hum entry in the Bosch series. It was interesting, though it seemed to drag in certain sections. The romantic element to the book seemed tacked onto the story just to pad it out, and it wasn't sufficiently resolved. Other than that, my affection for Harry Bosch as a character carried me through the book. The resolution to the case was somewhat anti-climatic."
