Echo Park (Abridged) Audiobook

" I had gone off Connelly for a while, because he was getting too formulaic. This book still has the usual elements, petty police bickering, bad politicians, a fast romance for Harry Bosch, some mean, mean criminals and as usual Harry gets it straightened away, while listening to smooth jazz. It may fall from a mold, but I enjoyed this as a fun read. I had been working like a crazy man and looked forward to some stupid down time. The writing is good, crisp dialog, and the pace of the adventure is fast, so there you go. In this story, Harry has a long time open murder case that suddenly appears to solve itself. Almost too good to be true, and guess what? IT IS. "

" Reading another Harry Bosch novel is like coming home now. Harry is a rather sad character, but he is not unhappy with his life, and that is encouraging. He reminds me of an old friend who was a police officer. Their characters are similar in that they have a highly cultivated view of what's right and wrong, and their lives have taken similar roads through the service and police work. "

" One of his best so far. "

" I love Michael Connelly books, and echo park does not disappoint at all! I feel now that I know Harry Bosch and how he would respond to situations and people, which makes reading his books really engrossing. Strongly recommend! "

" Another great Bosch novel! Bosch revisits a cold case from years ago and a convicted serial killer comes forward to claim responsibility. However, that is just the beginning. Bosch uncovers an enormous conspiracy, yet the twists and turns and revelations are unknown until the end. And some close to Bosch are forever changed in more ways than one. Bravo! "

" A good book to take with you on a long plane ride or a bus ride. "

" Another great one from the Harry Bosch collection. If you like this author (or mystery/suspense genre), this is a great read (and the audiobook read by Len Cariou is just awesome.) "

" Nancy 4 stars; Ron 4.5 stars "

" I enjoyed this author and will read more of his books in the future "

" It's another suspence novel I would recomend :) You thought you had the killer figured out... Think again "

" One of the best from Connelly, who is one of the best American crime writers. "

" Definitely one of my favourites in the Harry Bosch series. "

" good read. Murder mystery. "

" better than average mystery by a much better than average mystery writer. "

" Another excellent Michael Connelly book. I always enjoy reading about Harry Bosch and his intensity in getting the bad guy. "

" Got bored. Stopped reading. May try again sometime. "

" My favorite Harry Bosch book. This is really a good mystery with an excellent story line. Doublecross after doublecross with an excellent ending. Highly recommended! "

" My first introduction to the Harry Bosch series. I've been madly reading through the rest of them since. Echo Park remains one of my favourites. Love the LA setting and the main character. "

" Good Bosch as usual. This one was hard to figure out until almost the end. Connelly threw a few more twists into this one than the others so far. Good book, one of the best in the Bosch series so far. "

" First one I've read and got me hooked from the start. "

" A real page-turner. Exciting plot. "

" a fine airplane read "

" My first serious murder mystery book. The beginning was slow. It picked up towards the middle. "

" A good break from heavy reading. Usual Connelly with Harry Bosch as perfect policeman , smart and dedicated. Serial killer, corrupt officers, ambitious politicians, the entire gamut is there. Nothing extra-ordinary but at times I want to read just the ordinary. "

" This was the first Michael Connelly novel i read...I wouldn't say its something really amazing ...but a good read. All the twists n turns, and the fast pace made it a good read. i think the ending wasn't that great. Weird to me. "

" Continuing with a Michael Connelly marathon. While this is not one of my favorites of the Harry Bosch series, it is, as usual, a very good police procedural. "

" Harry & Rachael team up again to chase a twisted serial killer who has confessed to one of Harry's cold cases. "

" Excellent Harry Bosch novel, written in 2006. Good plot twists and turns. I really like this character. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book. I was just hoping that the motives of the killer were presented in a more detailed way. It's a typical thriller where people you don't suspect have more hidden motives. This is the 2nd book I read by the author, definitely will pick up a 3rd. "

" Typical Harry Bosch mystery/thriller--fun to read, nothing of universal application or worth. That is, pulp fiction. "

" One of his best. It was good from the start and stayed interesting until the very end. "

" Riveting, well-paced, grissley and full of twists and turns! "

" First Harry Bosch book I read and it hooked me on the entire series. "

" Another solid entry in Connelly's Bosch series. "
