I love Michael Connelly's books, and this one didn't disappoint me! I found myself sitting in my driveway in the evening because I didn't want to stop listening.
After I listened to this book I revamped my rental shelf to add every James Patterson book I could find! He is a great author and I loved every minute of it. Great listen!
I started listening to this book with great expectations. I found it tedious and boring---------made it all the way to disc 8, before giving up------throwing in the towel, and sending it back.
We really enjoyed this book. The characters were well drawn and true to form. The plot was good and we couldn't wait to get to the end to find out what happened.
I have been a fan of Harry Bosch and Michael Connelly since the first book. I was really glad when Connelly brought Harry out of retirement and back on the force. In the past, I have forgiven a weak story line because Harry on the case always entertains me. However, this book brought both: Harry Bosch and a compelling mystery that kept me guessing right to the very end.
I realized I had listened to this book before but enjoyed it so much I listened again. Some are really worth listening to twice.....
Now this is important so please pay attention. I figure that a story as fascinating and twisted as this one must have been written by someone equally twisted. This was a story that puts Connelly above even Grisham. Please excuse me while I go to find another Connelly book...gary
My opinion - this was an excellent book. I had never heard of this author or character. But the story kept me interested and intrigued throughout. I will definitely look for other books by this author.
This book had all the suspense and detective snooping elements to keep the listener well tuned in. When I'm stuck in a long traffic delay up in the mountains, it's almost a pleasure to be sitting there with this level of entertainment in my car.
Of the 4-5 Michael Connely books I've listened to, I think this is my favorite so far. I was guessing until the absolute end of the story. It had so many moving parts and changed direction abruptly several times. This was a great story.
"Connelly has won the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Nero, Barry, Ridley, Maltese Falcon (Japan), .38 Caliber (France), Grand Prix (France), and Premio Bancarella (Italy) awards.
In addition to his work in publishing, Michael Connelly was one of the creators, writers, and consulting producers of Level 9, a TV show about a task force fighting cyber crime that ran on UPN in the Fall of 2000.
Connelly is currently writing his next book which will be released in 2004. It will be another in the Harry Bosch series.
He lives with his family in Florida. "
