Detective Harry Bosch has one year left with the LAPD under the DROP agreement and he wants to make the most of it. He has a new partner, Lucia Soto, who doesn’t have much experience but has great instincts. They’re assigned a unique case where the victim just died of a gunshot wound inflicted almost ten years earlier. What looked like a cold case gang-related shooting turns into something much more. And, Soto has a personal relationship to another cold case that she and Bosch decide to covertly

Poor Harry Bosch. I know we have to get old but I wish our favourite book characters did not! Worse still is that he even seems to be mellowing with age.
In The Burning Room Harry actually starts to work with his partner instead of constantly going off on his own. This is lucky for her since she is young and new to the job. Sadly though I felt as though he had lost a bit of his edge - obviously I like bad Harry best.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been twenty years since we were first introduced to Harry Bosch in The Black Echo, the 1st book in this great crime series.
I have read most of the books in the series and it’s amazing how we continue discovering new things about this iconic character in the 19th book…..
Harry Bosch is now the oldest detective in the Open-Unsolved Unit, entering his final year on his Deferred Retirement Option Plan and remains as determined to bring the bad guys to justice.

The Burning Room
4 Stars
When the victim in a 20 year old shooting finally dies from his injuries, detective Harry Bosch and his new partner, Lucia Soto begin investigating only to realize that there is more to the case than meets the eye, and the victim may not have been a random bystander after all.
Michael Connelly's writing has become more cohesive over time and this installment has few of the internal musings and scenic ramblings that plagued the first few books in the series. While Harry is ...more

This was another good one. There were two mysteries in this which was the way the last few books have had. They were both good so this kept my interest throughout the book. Now that I’m almost caught up with this series, I’ve realized that I will miss Bosch when I’m done.
I liked this book but I wished that I read this in order of the series. I spoiled things for myself. I will remember that. : (
Another Harry Bosch winner.
