Critic reviews

'One of the most eagerly awaited books of the year.' The i newspaper, Best Crime Books for 2019

'There's something for everyone in this jam-packed plot' New York Times

Most enjoyable

Yet another intriguing and enjoyable Michael Connelly. I've read or listened to all of them and not sure what the negative critics are on about!

Still a Bosch story, but way too many coincidences

Trouble with evaluating a Connelly story is that the benchmark is only another Connelly, right?

I am enjoying this series from Michael Connelly

I am enjoying this series from Michael Connelly and the narration from Titus Welliver and Christine Lakin. This one intertwines a number of stories and murders featuring Bosch, Ballard and Mickey Haller. Thanks to Bosch's assistance Haller pulls off another magical courtroom acquital and later Ballard saves Bosch from execution by a hired killer while she is critically stabbed and almost bleeds out in the attempt. A top tier effort and looking forward to the next one.

Amazing!

An ensemble/domino series of events for an amazing story. A very difficult task? Connelly is the solution, As usual.

My happy place

is Titus Welliver's voice as Harry Bosch. I enjoy the plot twists and writing style. It's also fun to recognise lines used in the shows "you hook 'em, I'll cook 'em".
