I love this writer and main character and this newest book did not disappoint. I loved the story and since I was just in LA for vacation I could picture a lot of the places described in the book.

 This one sort of dragged at the start but then started getting better. At least it kept me entertained on my walks.

A dual timeline police procedural following Harry Bosch, troubled detective, on a cold case spanning 20 years.
These books are always fast paced, with Harry going rogue and causing himself issues. I enjoyed this one and it kept me guessing, although the ending came about quite suddenly.

Sometimes it felt a little rambly but it was a good story that had me guessing what would happen and hooked until I finished it!
