“Everyone matters or no one does.” This was actually my “introduction” to Harry Bosch. An unforgettable character that really drives the story. As a Los Angelina, I appreciate the details about the city and surrounding area. They are realistic and add to the story telling.

Connelly excels in creating an en engaging narrative with well drawn characters as well as being a master at writing crime plots. I recommend all of his books.

Connelly is at his best in this book
Love Michael Connelly’s work.
this is one of my favorite authors. never read a bad book from him.
any book by Michael Connelly is a great read- Bosch is a superb character
Bosch is a tough, gritty detective in a town where there is no shortage of crime or politics as the work of the detective is never done. A war veteran, and later a single parent with a daughter he adores. Bosch follows his code, either everybody matters or nobody matters!
The Harry Bosch series is excellent and this is another solid installment.
Michael Connelly is one of my favorite writers. His dialogue and characters are so realistic. They drag you in and you can’t help yourself, you have to keep reading. I absolutely recommend getting this book.
As usual, Michael Connelly comes through with a page turner!
The Closers: another good put; another one that is hard to put down – well written and good characters that interacted with one another. I felt reading it, like I was a part of the story and action – it was that good – another late night spent reading. I really recommend this one.

Love any Bosch novel. So much better than the TV show!
