About this listen

When a physicist is murdered in LA it seems the killer has no fear of publicity, leaving the body on The Mulholland overlook, a site with a stunning view over the city. And when it's discovered that the victim turned over a quantity of a lethal chemical to his killer before he died, Harry knows he has more than just a single death to worry about. Alongside the forces of Homeland Security, Harry realises he must solve the murder or face unimaginable consequences.

Another great Bosch story

Great story with a nice twist at the end - love the music touch - it gives the narration a bit of a “Bosch” atmosphere

Rachel’s voice is wrong

I love all Harry Bosch books. Well written and having read them all I’m now enjoying the audio books.

Thin

I love the Bosch series, and many of the familiar ingredients are here. But the core plot is simpler than usual, and there is less underlying action, hence also very little character exploration.

Great, but just too short.

Great book, as are all of the Bosch books so far, but way too short.

Another Good Read

Loved the way this was so unpredictable but delivered the quality all the same. A big fun of Michael Connelly!

Too much sax in the violence

Once again the excellent narration is randomly interrupted by discordant musical notes which nearly swamp the story. Perhaps it was felt that this racy tale needed mood Muzak to add depth and colour, but all this rank production managed was a distraction. A good story, well read, which deserved to be listened to rather than endured.

Another great listen!

I really enjoyed the story and as usual the narration was first class. I can’t wait for the next one!
