Echo Park by Michael Connelly
4.0

Harry Bosch is now one year into his return to the LAPD out of retirement. He and Kiz Rider are partnered in the Open-Unsolved Unit, working cold cases. One of the them, the 13-year old missing persons case of Marie Gesto, has plagued Harry since he was originally assigned to the investigation. It's now red hot after a serial killer confesses to her abduction as part of an agreement to avoid the death penalty. Now he and Kiz have to determine if he's telling the truth.

Wow. Just wow. This story went sideways, upside down and rightside up again. I've never seen Harry be so off balance so often and when I reached the end, I got why. Be prepared to be just as off kilter as he was. I didn't know who to believe or trust and was just riveted to the story. Also, there's a point where I finally got why women eventually leave Harry, which was a big "aha" moment for him and me.

Len Cariou's narration was just perfect and he made the story even more compelling, though it was pretty exciting on its own. Despite the sentiments of the women in his life, I'm still wild about Harry. Can't wait for the next story!
