I listen to a lot of audiobooks - most of which are mysteries/police procedural. This was the best book I have listened to in sometime.

This was extremely well done. I listened to audiobooks with sleep mask headphones in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep, so I felt totally immersed. And, particularly in the beginning episodes, I was genuinely a little scared. Good story and amazing production.

I really like the premise behind the story - I find it fascinating and timely. Although I have not finished the book, it seems that my least favorite trope will be used: a person framed and wrongly accused. Connelly uses this trope too often, particularly in his non-Bosch stories, but, for the most part, he does it well or at least gets away with it. Maybe he will get away with in this book, but I am already irritated at the anticipation of it happening in this story. I also dislike when authors give us the perspective of the “bad guys,” like he did in the Poet and this book. Again, Connelly does it better than most, but I find it a lazy literary trope.

I have read Michael Connelly books throughout the years - all out-of-order, but I really have been sucked in recently. This is one of my favorites. I was in high school/college during Rodney King/OJ Simpson/and the advent of the internet- these were big events during my formative, young adult years. It is fascinating to sort of “re-live” these events through these early Bosch books.

Gripping story but too much gratuitous violence

I found the story gripping, but I had to skip through huge portions of the book towards the end because the overwhelming amount of unnecessary torture and sexualized violence.

I found this book engaging. My only issue - mostly of my own making because I listen to the book when falling asleep - was that I found it difficult to recall all of the characters and remember their role in the story. In fact, I bought the Kindle version, so I could use that x-ray function. Otherwise, this was one of my favorites in this series.

I would have preferred if the majority of the book was devoted to the investigation. I enjoy the mystery - not some author’s idea of how he thinks a serial killer thinks. Not only does it rob the book of the mystery, but then we are subjected to half a book about some pathetic guy raping and killing women. No thanks. I also did not find the main character either clever or interesting.

This book had its moments. I liked the chapters focused on the investigation. Other chapters I simply fast forwarded through. I didn’t find the characters particularly well developed or believable. I knew the “twist” was coming almost immediately after the character was first introduced.

The narration was mostly good if a little too melodramatic at times. But that was largely owed to the writing.

I have enjoyed this series, but I have found the last two books to be a bit tedious and am struggling to finish this one. I do think it’s well written, and I would like to know how it ends, so I will persevere.

I struggled with the new narrator the last book after being used to the previous narrator, but I had no issues with the new narrator this book. I found the story mostly interesting, but I am growing a little tired of the violence against women - particularly Maeve.
