Harry Bosch is back with the LAPD, this time with the Open-Unsolved Unit, a new division responsible for closing cold cases. He's partnered with Kiz Rider and their first assignment is the 17-year old murder of a 16-year old biracial girl, Rebecca (Becky) Verloren. It should come as no surprise that Harry and Kiz end up opening the proverbial Pandora's box involving old police department politics.

Oh, how I loved this story! I finished it in two road trip sessions and was thrilled that I had no

Harry Bosch is back with the LAPD as part of the Open/Unsolved Unit. His first case is about the murder of a biracial teenager seventeen years ago. The case has been reopened because the DNA found on the murder weapon has now been analyzed and a match has been found. Harry and his partner, Kizman Rider, start weeding through the evidence, trying to put the pieces together.

It's nice to see Harry back with the police department again. He's trying very hard to be a team player and not cut his partn

4.5 Stars

Harry Bosch is back on the force and together with his new (old) partner, Kiz Ryder, investigates the unsolved murder of a teenage girl taken from her home.

Harry is back on the force & doing what he does best - solving cold cases! He & Kiz are partners once again. As with all Harry Bosch books, it's all in the details - the seemingly unimportant little things that many miss, but not Harry. As always, I loved being in Harry's head, a sometimes very dark place to be. But in The Closers, Harry seems to be in a better place both mentally & physically. There's less of a spiraling mental downfall and more about his expertise at following police procedura ...more

I really enjoyed this one because Harry Bosch is now back on the police force and closing out unsolved murders. He seems to be more in his element when he is with the police and not private investigator. I liked having Kiz Rider back in this book as well. She seems to be the balance for the partnership.

I am giving this 5 out of 5 stars and I have the next one to read in the series, but will take a short break before reading it.

I thought this one started off a bit slow but it picked up in the 2nd half. Not too many twists and turns but still a good Bosch story.

Liked this a lot.

Harry Bosch is out of retirement and assigned to the Open-Unsolved Unit, along with his old partner Kimzin Rider. His return does not please everybody he comes in contact with...

Their first case is an unsolved murder of a 16 year old girl, thanks to advances in DNA and Harry and Kiz's efforts the case becomes more active than unsolved.

This was better than the previous one because now he’s back as a police detective, which is where he belongs. The story moved pretty well too.
