The Burning Room

A Harry Bosch Novel

By: Michael Connelly

Narrated by: Titus Welliver

In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet nine years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any other evidence is virtually nonexistent.

Now Bosch and his new partner, rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Starting with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information, which soon reveals that this shooting may have been anything but random.

Read by Titus Welliver, star of the Bosch TV series.

Not the best in the series.

It was a bit of a struggle to get through it and took some time to warm up to Titus Welliver’s narration style, especially right after Len Cariou, The story is not one of the best in the series. There are some inconsistencies pertaining to details from some of the earlier books. The most obvious one is that it was a detective who told Bosch about the death of his mother when he was at the pool (McKittrick / The Last Coyote). It was definitely NOT a nun.

Another great thriller

Very entertaining and full of suspense. Connelly has an incredible way of writing thriller stories, and this book is another confirmation of it!

Connolly does it again!

I enjoyed this book from the moment I started to listen to it.
However, I am a great fan of Harry Bosch so this is not at all surprising.

The most memorable moment for me was right at the end when Harry leaves the squad room to applause led by Soto.

The narrator, who plays the part of Harry in the TV series Bosch,
was perfect.

Amazing as always

Welliver does an amazing job, as expected. Connelly is a master story teller. This has been one of my favourite Bosch stories.

Go Harry

Loved it. Looking forward to the next adventure. Harry is such an interesting character who develops through the series.
