Summary

When the bones of a boy are found scattered in the Hollywood Hills, Harry Bosch is drawn into a case that brings up dark memories from his past. Unearthing hidden stories, he finds the child's identity and reconstructs his fractured life, determined that he won't be forgotten.

At the same time, a new love affair with a female cop begins to blossom - until a stunningly blown mission leaves him in more trouble than ever before. The investigation races to a shocking conclusion and leaves Bosch on the brink of an unimaginable decision...

Good Listen

I can't believe Bosch put his badge in. I really enjoyed listening to this book looking forward to the next one.

Another gripping read from Michael Connelly.

I love the way Bosch sticks to his instinct for the truth without compromise even if it makes him unpopular and uncomfortable by doing so.

People who like a real page turner will love this story.

Bosch is always good; this isn’t his peak

More thoughtful, repeated metaphors growing in depth; but the plot is less gripping than some, with too many false summits along the way that don’t actually drive the plot, with an anti-climactic ending.

I'm getting a bit impatient.....

with Harry Bosch. This book is no less good than the others, very listenable. Good story, good reading, and one is sure the details are credible.

But I'm starting to find Bosch slightly annoying. All right, he's a man with a mission. But honestly, would he perform his mission any less effectively if he were a little less inconsiderate to his love interest and rude to his colleagues? Could he sometimes not consider the possibility that he might be mistaken? Might he not get better results if he got a bit of a life?

IThank you for introducing me ro Art Pepper!

Where does City of Bones rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

mid

What other book might you compare City of Bones to, and why?

Not the best Harry Bosch, mainly due to naration.

Have you listened to any of Peter Jay Fernandez’s other performances? How does this one compare?

no

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

Art Pepper was a saxophonist who had passed me by. My thanks.

Another great Bosch story

This is a good one in the Bosch series. Cliff hanger ending, can’t wait for the next in the series.
