Time saver tip: if you've read my review of any Harry Bosch book, you've read 'em all. Since I don't reveal plots and reserve my comments to the overall book/author, characterization, style, etc...I just don't feel the need to repeat myself as in most cases series books if any good at all do remain consistent. The star ratings might change, but not my opinion of the series as a whole.

Connelly, still one of the best mystery writers out there, has combined two of his characters in this novel. Terry McCaleb, an ex-FBI profiler, now retired and living on Catalina Island following a heart transplant — he has to take over one hundred pills a day — has been asked by an old friend in the sheriff’s department to review some material about the murder of Edward Gunn, a man who had “walked” away from a murder charge several years previously. Harry Bosch, Connelly’s other character, and...more

Sorry to say this latest Harry Bosch book did not measure up to the standards set by the preceeding H.B. books by Connelly. I already knew that Connelly had decided to make a change in Harry's character and was rather looking forward to it.

Cross-over publications where characters from one series appear in another are always a little risky. The Harry Bosch books are my favourite Michael Connelly books with the Mickey Haller and Terry McCaleb series being slow seconds. I think that the author would be better off keeping each series separate from the others except for the fact that all three are set in the same city. So...?

So this is why I think that A Darkness More Than Night is not as good as it could have been if it was a story to...more

STORY BRIEF:
Two stories are being told interspersed. Gunn was found murdered in his home in an elaborate method patterned after a scene from a painting. Detective Jaye Winston is in charge of the investigation which has stalled. She asks retired FBI profiler McCaleb to help her.

The second story is a murder trial. A wealthy movie director Storey is charged with murdering an actress and making it appear as a suicide. Bosch is the arresting officer and star witness in the trial. Storey bragged to Bosch that he killed her and that he would get away with it. The confession was not on tape so it’s Storey’s word against Bosch’s.

REVIEWER’S OPINION:
As I’ve said before, I’m enjoying this series. This is book 7 in the Harry Bosch series. As I finish one, I go right on to the next one. I’m doing them all as audiobooks, which might mean something. This one is not typical Bosch because the main detective work is being done by McCaleb, not Bosch. We are in McCaleb’s mind through most of the story. It was good, but I prefer Bosch as the main investigator, not McCaleb. This book is also listed as book 2 in the Terry McCaleb series. This could be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend reading it after McCaleb’s first book “Blood Work.”

Things I did not like:
The murder trial story was mostly being done through trial testimony. This resulted in a “telling” feel rather than “showing.” So it wasn’t the best way to hear a story, but it was ok. I viewed this as a supporting story to the McCabe investigation.

I wish the author had spelled out things more clearly at the end. McCaleb accuses Bosch of knowing something and doing things without telling McCaleb. Bosch subtly acknowledged this, but as the reader I wanted more specifics. I wanted to know exactly what Bosch knew, how he knew it, and what he did. The overall story and resolution were good, but I didn’t like having to make assumptions.

To avoid a spoiler I’m going to be vague here. I didn’t see the logic of why McCaleb thought Gunn’s murderer was X. The murder scene was made to look like a painting that many people owned copies of or had seen. So why did he suspect one of these people as a murderer? My immediate reaction was this could be a set up or a frame, but McCaleb didn’t consider that. The reason I like this series is because McCaleb and Bosch are smarter than I am, but that wasn’t happening here. McCaleb’s conclusion as to X being a suspect should have been better justified.

NARRATORS:
I did not like the narrator Richard M. Davidson. His interpretation of some characters came out too arrogant and negative somehow. McCaleb and Bosch weren’t as enjoyable because of this interpretation. It made me realize how wonderful Dick Hill was who did the first six books. My biggest problem with Dick Hill was his effeminate gay guy voice for some of the female characters. He did that in the early books, but not in the later books. So he improved. In this book, Richard Davidson used a deep super-gravely bass voice for Bosch which didn’t feel right to me. In another scene Buddy was saying something in a “pleading whining voice” (author’s words), but the narrator used an almost arrogant tone for that phrase.

DATA:
Unabridged audiobook length: 12 hrs and 33 mins. Narrator: Richard M. Davidson. Swearing language: strong but not frequently used. Sexual content: none. Setting: 2000 mostly Los Angeles, California, plus nearby Catalina Island. Book Copyright: 2001. Genre: crime mystery. Ending: The bad guys lose.(less)

This book introduces former FBI criminal profiler, Terry McCaleb, which is why you need to read Connelly's books in order. I had already read the book where McCaleb dies of seemingly natural causes because he has had a heart transplant. Harry thinks he was murdered and investigates. That book refers to the case where McCaleb and Harry met. Now I know the full story.

This struck me as one of the tautest and best-constructed of Connelly's novels that I've so far encountered. The story positively flows along, subplots weaving and interacting, revealing details in a gradual, methodical manner that's almost maddening. This one concerns ex-FBI agent Terry McCaleb and Connelly's mainstay Harry Bosch, each working on a separate murder investigation that -- you just know this-- will each inexorably connect with the other. My experience has been that when Bosch has b...more

Not a bad bit of crime procedural--if that's the right word. I've loved Harry Bosch novels for a while now, and probably have read them out of order it would seem now. This one is different as it mostly concerns a character I may have read about, Terry McCaleb, but leaves out Harry as a secondary character. Of course all the regular Harry is in effect--brash, chain smoking, and those lost eyes, plus a host of other characters from Connelly's novels--including characters from the Poet storyline....more

One of the better Harry Bosch novels and that is saying a lot. Not for those who prefer bloodless mysteries; this is hard-core police procedural. A crook is murdered and the scene is rigged to reference a Hieronymus Bosch painting, leading detectives to presume the artist's namesake Detective Bosch turned to the dark side and is now taking revenge on criminals. Connelly creates his own Hieronymus Bosch painting with this novel, which references some vicious murders and truly evil characters. Bos...more

In questo caso tali elementi sono principalmente due:
- pur essendo a tutti gli effetti un romanzo della serie Bosch, nella trama assume un importanza fondamentale, tanto da diventarne quasi protagonista Terry McCaleb, l'ex agente FBI trapiantato di cuore già al centro di Blood Work-Debito di sangue (ricordate il film diretto da Clint Eastwood in cui era incarnato dallo stesso Clint?) e che ritornerà per l'ultima volta in un altro episodio: The Narrows alias "Il ritorno del poeta" (Bosch n.10);
- per la prima e se non sbaglio unica volta l'omonimia del detective Hyeronimous Bosch detto Harry col visionario pittore fiammingo rinascimentale, diviene un punto chiave della trama e viene addirittura utilizzata per tentare di incastrarlo.

A parte i due elementi citati il libro si sviluppa secondo uno schema già caro a Connelly, che lo utilizza ad esempio anche nel più recente "Avvocato di difesa" che è quello della doppia indagine.

In breve lo schema-tipo è questo: vi è un'inchiesta che parte nelle prime pagine della trama e procede in maniera abbastanza canonica (rinvenimento di cadavere, polizia o detective privato sul posto, raccolta di indizi, interrogatori, ecc).
Nel frattempo uno dei personaggi principali (il detective, il sospettato, una persona molto vicina all'uno o all'altro, ecc) è a sua volta in qualche modo coinvolto in un'altra inchiesta apparentemente del tutto scollegata da quella iniziale e spesso già in fase di dibattimento in tribunale. Questa sembra solo un elemento di colore per dare più credibilità all'ambiente e i due piani procedono in modo parallelo finchè zac! emerge un inaspettato collegamento fra le due indagini e a questo punto è il lettore ad essere definitivamente catturato!

Se ne ricava fra l'altro che Connelly non è propriamente un autore di thriller come spesso viene classificato e come le copertine italiane grondanti sangue sembrano alludere. Di fatto gli omicidi, ove si escludano fatti che emergono dal passato, altro atout spesso nella manica del nostro..., sono molto meno di quelli degli altri colleghi a cui viene accomunato.

Connelly è piuttosto uno dei migliori autori contemporanei di polizieschi in ragione del suo talento nell'imbastire intrecci originali senza essere astrusi, credibili senza essere prevedibili; della straordinaria conoscenza del sistema legale americano che gli deriva dalla sua gavetta di cronista giudiziario del L.A.Times.

C'è infine l'elemento umano, non preponderante ma sottile, che fa si che Bosch, tutt'altro che uno stinco di stanco come si allude anche nel prefinale di questo romanzo, sia uno dei detectives più amati dai cultori del genere, anche per la sua spregiudicatezza e la capacità di passare da momenti di pietà sincera per le vittime a scatti di violenza incontrollabile. Nel finale, vittorioso ma malinconico, Harry pare un poco in crisi e forse già alberga in sè la decisione di lasciare il Dipartimento e passare all'attività privata che si concreterà in successivi episodi della sua saga.

E'curioso come tutti i maggiori "detectives" dei polizieschi europei contemporanei (Wallander, Montalbano, Adamsberg...) rimangano a denti stretti all'interno del sistema di polizia, mentre gli americani come Bosch o Robicheaux se ne vadano o vengano buttati fuori per diventare lupi solitari!(less)

Michael Connelly decided to become a writer after discovering the books of Raymond Chandler while attending the University of Florida. Once he decided on this direction he chose a major in journalism and a minor in creative writing — a curriculum in which one of his teachers was novelist Harry Crews.
After graduating in 1980, Connelly worked at newspapers in Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, primarily specializing in the crime beat. In Fort Lauderdale he wrote about police and crime during the height of the murder and violence wave that rolled over South Florida during the so-called cocaine wars. In 1986, he and two other reporters spent several months interviewing survivors of a major airline crash. They wrote a magazine story on the crash and the survivors which was later short-listed for the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. The magazine story also moved Connelly into the upper levels of journalism, landing him a job as a crime reporter for the Los Angeles Times, one of the largest papers in the country, and bringing him to the city of which his literary hero, Chandler, had written.
After three years on the crime beat in L.A., Connelly began writing his first novel to feature LAPD Detective Hieronymus Bosch. The novel, The Black Echo, based in part on a true crime that had occurred in Los Angeles, was published in 1992 and won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel by the Mystery Writers of America. Connelly has followed that up with 18 more novels.
Connelly's books have been translated in 35 languages and have won the Edgar Award, Anthony Award, Macavity Award, Los Angeles Times Best Mystery/Thriller Award, Shamus Award, Dilys Award, Nero Award, Barry Award, Audie Award, Ridley Award, Maltese Falcon Award (Japan), .38 Caliber Award (France), Grand Prix Award (France), and Premio Bancarella Award (Italy).
Michael was the President of the Mystery Writers of America organization in 2003 and 2004. In addition to his literary work, Michael was one of the creators, writers, and consulting producers of Level 9, a TV show about a task force fighting cyber crime, that ran on UPN in the Fall of 2000.
Michael lives with his family in Florida.

Quotes from A Darkness More Than N...

“There was polite laughter in the courtroom. Bosch noticed that the attorneys -- prosecution and defense -- dutifully joined in, a couple of them overdoing it. It had been his experience that while in open court a judge could not possibly tell a joke that the lawyers did not laugh at.” — 3 people liked it

“Slowly, his eyes came up and he looked through the kitchen window and out through the Cahuenga Pass. The lights of Hollywood glimmered in the cut, a mirror reflection of the stars of all galaxies everywhere. He thought about all that was bad out there. A city with more things wrong than right. A place where the earth could open up beneath you and suck you into the blackness. A city of lost light. His city. It was all of that and, still, always still, a place to begin again. His city. The city of the second chance.
Bosch nodded and bent down. He closed his eyes, put his hands under the water and brought them up to his face. The water was cold and bracing, as he thought any baptism, the start of any second chance, should be.” — 2 people liked it
