" Okay so it's not the best Bosch novel but it's still a good book. Connelly re-introduces Terry McCaleb and Jack McEvoy although the latter merely as a plot help to save introducing a new character. The one thing that struck me was how some of the histroy of the novel was laid down in previous Bosch books and begs the question - how far ahead has Bosch been planned. If you haven't read any Bosch before though please start at the beginning as it's assumed you know the man.... "

" Way too predictable. I love Connelly's Bosch series, but this is not a true Harry Bosch series book. This book puts a parenthesis on the Terry McCaleb character's two-book role in the Bosch series. The book also seems to be designed to flesh out the Bosch character and, related to this, provides an art history lesson on the artist Bosch. However, most of this comes out eventually in the rest of the series. Finally, what's with the frequent use of autoerotic asphyxia in this genre. This is literally the third book in a row I have read that uses this weak plot crutch. I may have to start giving an automatic two-star rating to any book where this is used. "

" I thought this was an "ok" book. The story kept getting bogged down with too many details at times. The story did eventually make sense and was tied together well in the end. "

" I enjoy reading series novels like this Harry Bosch series as the ongoing nature leads to better character development. Unfortunately, I did not read Blood Work prior to this book, but I think I might do that to help flesh out the Terry McCaleb character. The addition of McCaleb to the storyline gave this book a different feeling from the prior books in the series. I did enjoy the continuing saga and look forward to the next in the series. "

" Wow! Just how well do you know Heironymous Bosch? Maybe not as well as you thought. This seventh novel in the series lets us look at our hero through the eyes of a former collegue,Terry McCaleb. Its an eye-opener. "

" A very different book. Harry Bosch is, in many ways, a marginal character. Good read especially for fans. though non fans could access it as a stand alone though they will probbaly end up working their way through them too! "
