I have such mixed feelings about this story.
Harry Bosch and partner Jerry Edgar respond to a call about a bone found by a doctor's dog. He's certain it's human and he turns out to be right, prompting the start of what ends up being a very cold case.
I loved the forensics aspect of the story, along with the procedurals. Nobody does it better than Harry and I enjoy his investigative style. There are other personal situations that impact the investigation and Harry's career that I found troubling. ...more

I had lost interest in this series and had stopped reading them but the tv series have made me interested again, plus I know people who love this, so I decided to go back.

I struggled to put this one down. The more I read of this series the more I love it. Looking forward to continuing the series.
