Summary
Experience this special edition of The Black Echo, Michael Connelly’s award-winning crime novel narrated by Titus Welliver, star of the Bosch series on Amazon Prime Video - includes an exclusive bonus interview with the author and the actor featuring insider info and more.
For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal...because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit. Pitted against enemies inside his own department and forced to make the agonizing choice between justice and vengeance, Bosch goes on the hunt for a killer whose true face will shock him.
"Michael Connelly is the master of the universe in which he lives, and that is the sphere of crime thrillers." - Huffington Post.

3.5 stars. Mostly positive but has issues
My first Harry Bosch book and I love the show. Slow to start and the early character development feels like waffle at times. It feel's like writing for the sake of writing and not writing to actually build. He's amazing at planning the crime and writing action but Bosch is too intuitive. Too many times he walks in, takes one look at the scene and knows exactly what happened. No investigating, he asks questions when he already knows the answer. Even when something bad happen to him or his investigation he still feels 2 steps ahead instead of having to scramble to fix a mistake or push and claw towards chasing every lead. Another strength his dialogue but there's just not enough of it. Too many waffling inner monologues. Titus Welliver saved this for me, to me he is Bosch. If I'd been reading this or listening to the standard edition with the original narrator, I may have given up on it and missed the great ending. I will probably return to the series but not right away.

Better than Sherlock
It is a cracking book. The only reason I gave it 4 out 5 was because I didn't think the ending needed the twist that it was given. That said, it held me from the first sentence to the last. Titus Welliver gives a great performance reading the book and I can't wait to listen to the next one. If you like detective novels, then this is well worth buying. I do a really tedious job and it gives me the chance to listen to books while I work, but with this book I found myself listening to it again, as soon as I got home. I don't want to say anything about the plot because I always hate it when someone says too much and spoils the story for me. Michael Connelly gives the characters and plot a gritty realism that makes it a really believable story and Titus Welliver brings them all to life superbly. Bosch the central character is a better detective than Sherlock, addicted to coffee and cigarettes and finding justice for those victims of crime no one else cares about, I have said enough, Give it a go.

The best crime novels
If you've loved the TV series it's great to start at the beginning of the story.

Bosch read by Bosch
Perfection, narrated by the man that I have always imagined as Bosch since I first saw him play the role on TV. A silver fox if ever I heard one (whatever the rough edges). The thing about Bosch, as a character, is that you can rely on his integrity to his own values absolutely. Rare in a character, even more so in reality.

Titus is as good as ever
Titus is as good as ever and it's nice to see his narration retrofitted to one of the early books.

Perfect
I’m a big fan of the amazon prime series and always wanted to read the books but I’m quite a slow reader, and always struggle to find the time to read. This book read by Welliver was like being part of the story itself. Absolutely brilliant writing and amazing narrating. I think I will have a go with the next audio book even though Welliver is not narrating it.

Outstanding. Titus Welliver FTW.
I've been following the TV series since they first came out on Prime and I've now started on the books. Much like with the James Bond books, I can only imagine Sean Connery as Bond, Titus Welliver is Bosch! To now hear his voice narrating the books, I can't see (hear) anyone else being Bosch. I've been reading the book whilst listening to the audio narration at the same time, I'm now ready for the next one.

Excellent
An excellent listen. A great story brought to life by Titus Welliver's reading. A fast paced story with lists of twists and turns. Will certainly be listening to more.
