You get two character focuses in one in this story. It really serves you well to have read Blood Work first to get a good sense of Terry McCaleb. I believe it made a difference in my enjoyment. While this is the 7th book in the Harry Bosch series, it's the 8th in that universe and the second in the Terry McCaleb series.

For a large part of the story, McCaleb and Bosch are operating independently until their worlds connect. Terry believes Harry is behind the murder of Edward Gunn because aspects ...more

This book was not your typical Harry Bosch novel as Terry McCaleb was the retired FBI agent and Harry Bosch was the main suspect. It was a little slow to take off but once it did, it was a page-turner to the very end. Connelly is very good at developing characters, both good and bad, that are very intriguing and ones you'll feel are very real. I need to go back and read Blood Work as that's the book that introduces Terry McCaleb, a character which I like very much. This plot was very enjoyable a ...more

5 Fantastic Stars!! Absolutely loved it! Harry and Terry together? Dynamite! Great plot line, brilliantly woven with twists & turns to keep readers guessing. Connelly is a master at exposing the deepest, darkest demons that haunt and drive men like Harry...and Terry. Highly recommend reading Blood Work prior to this one for the background and foundation built around Terry. As always, the police procedural is spot-on. Another awesome read in this series. A Must Read!

I'm conflicted about whether this 4.5 star book should be raised to 5* or remain at 4*.

My understanding of the character and mind of Terry McCaleb from the first book did not mesh completely with his jumping to conclusions about Harry. The story did, however, deal with the conflicts that are possible when one follows logic and methodological investigation apart from knowing a subject's true character.

Yet, something happened to Harry's self-reflection as this story progressed. Did he become more ...more

This was a very easy book to read. It had murder and mayhem. While Harry always gets his man, it sometimes is not under regular circumstances. The addition of Terry McCaleb was a very good twist to this story too. It seemed from the beginning that Terry and Harry were on opposite sides and I believe that Michael Connelly wanted it that way.

In this book you glimpsed some of the dark side of Harry Bosch and while I know he is not squeaky clean, I really want to believe he is.

I am giving this 5 o ...more
