" Enjoyable as always, but I'm not sure I buy the private eye angle for Harry. I like police procedurals because while exaggerated they are realistic. I just don't believe that private eyes find themselves in the kinds of situations that Harry is always in. I do love Harry though and I'm curious about how Maddie will affect his life, so I'll read on. "

" Takes a little while to gather steam (particularly because the first 50 pages or so have an unusual tone for a Bosch), but once it gets rolling this one is very solid. I enjoy how Connelly lays it out in a solid police procedural fashion and doesn't try to stick to the rules that govern other types of mysteries because that really would have interfered with how the case is resolved and those responsible are unmasked. I also love the ending to this one - I feel like it offers a number of interesting dramatic possibilities for further installments in the series. "

" With two exceptions, you can't go wrong reading a Bosch novel, if'n you like detective mysteries. The exceptions? You have to read them for continuity anyway so I'm not saying. "

" This is the story where haunted by one of the un solved murders, Harry sets out to investigate the case on his retirement from LAPD. The book has all the elements which makes it fast paced like LAPD politics, FBI, FBI counter terrerist division and a Movie set robbery.Fast paced,and good read. "

" Connelly is the best crime writer in my opinion, however the law of diminishing returns is begininng to set in on this series. I am not a fan of the switch to first person writing either. "

" This book is somewhat predictable as an L.A. detective mystery. The first half is primarily a description of the bureaucratic nightmare of the L.A.P.D and the F.B.I. The second half gets more interesting as the mystery unfolds and the action kicks up. A couple of twists and turns at the end.
