While not as bad as 9 DRAGONS, this is definitely one of the weaker entries in the Bosch universe.
The main plot described on the book jacket involves Maddie Bosch and Reneé Ballard trying to close a series of rapes. The Black Dahlia case gets brought into it for some reason and that ends up taking over good chunks of the book. There was also a subplot about a planned mass shooting that was more or less a reason to bring Harry in.
I love Michael Connelly in general, but this book just didn’t hit for me.
I’ll probably still listen to the Audible version strictly for the narrators by the actors from the TV version of BOSCH.
