I have no idea why I keep reading these. Enjoyable tosh I guess. And I have a friend who has a huge stash of them. Anyway, if you've read one, you've read this. Connolly on rails. The last chapter twist will leave any Brit going 'jesus, America, sort your healthcare system out'. Apt, for the NHS's birthday weekend.

I’m a little out of order, but I kept along all right with this one. Enjoyed the ending, as per usual! Connelly is a master.
I liked this book a lot. I'd definitely recommend reading his book The Poet first, as this is a continuation of that one, although Bosch isn't in the first book. I've been reading all the Bosch books in order, and I started to read this, but fortunately found out that it was a continuation of a non-Bosch book before starting on it.
As usual, Bosch is almost on top of every situation in the book, and makes up for any mistakes with his pure obstinance and relentless pursuit of the facts. I wasn't too surprised to see that things didn't work out with his girlfriend that looked promising at the end of the last book. It just wouldn't seem right if he were not a loner.

I like the way this storyline wrapped up (or did it?) and the little nods to other books and characters from this universe that Connelly includes. I remain skeptical about the idea of an FBI agent teaming up with a PI and about how Bosch seems incapable of meeting an unmarried heterosexual woman and not having sex with her (he's super irresistible, I guess?), but I set that aside so I could enjoy the story.
This was not my favorite in the Bosch series. I felt like the bad guy could have been a bit more developed and the climax was rather anticlimactic.
I love some of the changes in Harry's character based on life developments.

Harry Bosch is supposed to be retired from the LAPD. Somehow he keeps getting involved in cases. The last one almost got him killed. But when he is asked to investigate the death of a friend he can't refuse. It quickly becomes apparent that Bosch is into something greater than he bargained for but he won't give up.
The Narrows brings together some of the characters from Bosch's past and begins to introduce not his daughter. This is a thrilling story that converges several story lines (McCaleb, Walling, others - don't want to spoil).
Recommend to all fans of the Bosch series and of Connelly's other characters.
