It was OK, very formulaic and there wasn't much to it, but it kept me turning the pages.

Incredibly boring. I rarely return audible credits but this one was returned. 
emotional mysterious fast-paced

Truthfully the rating might be more about the reader than the story. I usually find Connelly’s books more satisfying.

Okay mystery, but not remotely as satisfying as, say, The Lincoln Lawyer or The Black Echo. Our new hero is serviceable, if a bit colorless, but the rest of the characters are chess pieces or love interests and forgettable. As is the resolution, the culprit and the plot in general. On the bright side, the setting is nice, and one character has a purple streak in her hair.

I get that Harry Bosch was getting too old for this shit. Me too.
