Book 16 in the Harry Bosch series. This book sees Harry sailing close to the wind at times as he struggles to solve a cold case. Can be read as a stand alone but is part of a great side. This shows Harry's all to human side. I enjoyed this and I'm sure you will

Another middle of the road. I think I've read this one before, though I didn't remember much of it. But the "mystery" was somewhat easy to guess quickly.
The relationship between Bosch and Anna is a bit boring, I hope she doesn't stay too long still. Maddie is the more interesting character at this point.
Also, I'm getting a little bit tired of the "morally gray" bits from Bosch, it's becoming less nuance and more of a caricature.

En välskriven och väl uttänkt kriminalroman vars betyg tyvärr dras ner därför att den cirkulerade kring ett tämligen oengagerande fall. Det tog, enligt mig, alldeles för lång tid innan det väcktes empati hos mig som läsare, för offret i fråga. Boken gör sitt jobb bra, men Connelly har definitivt skrivit bättre.
This one started out slow for me, with a scene from the King riots in 1992, and then a chapter or two before the action really took off. Once it did, it was as exciting as a Bosch novel usually is, with the added character depth as he navigates fatherhood and a romantic relationship.
Michael Connelly delivers again. Mostly.
I thought it was an excellent story well executed.
Unfortunately for me, I felt it twisted on an unbelievable axis at one point in the story.
I can still recommend it and I will wait patiently for his next release.

Had the pleasure of discussing this book with the author himself. I loved a look back at a cold case file, and reading as Harry struggles with aging, personal growth, and trying to solve an old case that has always stuck with him.
Bosch is a character you can get behind and over the course of the last 20 years, you grow with him. Great series!

Kind of slow start. But ended up being a good book. Crazy and fast ending. Lots of talk of Manteca, Stockton, and Modesto LOL. Crazy ending in Modesto.
Found myself a bit lost in the middle of the book but the ending not only cleared up everything it needed but also kept me at the edge of my seat.
