Publisher's summary

This audiobook includes the following award-winning Harry Bosch thrillers, all voiced by standout Broadway veteran Len Cariou:

The Narrows (AudioFile magazine Earphones Award Winner): FBI agent Rachel Walling finally gets the call she's dreaded for years, the one that tells her the Poet has surfaced. She has never forgotten the serial killer who wove lines of poetry in his hideous crimes - and apparently he has not forgotten her. Former LAPD detective Harry Bosch gets a call, too - from the widow of an old friend. Her husband's death seems natural, but his ties to the hunt for the Poet make Bosch dig deep. Arriving at a derelict spot in the California desert where the feds are unearthing bodies, Bosch joins forces with Rachel. Now the two are at odds with the FBI...and squarely in the path of the Poet.

Echo Park (2007 Audie Award Winner for Mystery): In 1995, Marie Gesto disappeared after walking out of a supermarket in Hollywood. Harry Bosch worked the case but couldn't crack it, and the 22-year-old woman never turned up, dead or alive. Now Bosch is in the Open-Unsolved Unit, where he still keeps the Gesto file on his desk, when he gets a call from the DA….

The Overlook: In his first case since he left the LAPD's Open Unsolved Unit for the prestigious Homicide Special squad, Harry Bosch is called out to investigate a murder that may have chilling consequences for national security. A doctor with access to a dangerous radioactive substance is found murdered in the trunk of his car. Retracing his steps, Harry learns that a large quantity of radioactive cesium was stolen shortly before the doctor's death. With the cesium in unknown hands, Harry fears the murder could be part of a terrorist plot to poison a major American city.

Impressed? Ace detective Harry Bosch is also on the case in other exciting Michael Connelly crime-fiction novels.

Box Set gives you 3 Bosch Books for 1 Credit, but it’s not all Roses!

Some details on this Book Set:

1) The Narrows, Unabridged, Harry Bosch Book #10, is the 2nd book in this set & begins at Chapter 41 and runs through Chapter 85.

2) Echo Park, Unabridged, Harry Bosch Book #12, is the 1st book in this set & begins at Chapter 1 and runs though Chapter 40.

3) The Overlook, Abridged, Harry Bosch Book #13, is the 3rd book in this set & begins at Chapter 86 and runs through Chapter 108. I was very disappointed to find that this book was Abridged!

4) All 3 books suffer from some very poor, periodic copying, where the reading is staccato, clipped & at times unintelligible. There are 5 to 10 of these is each book. Thankfully, all are relatively short, <2 minutes each.

5) All 3 books are narrated by Len Cariou, who I think does an excellent job.

Clipping and skipping

Some of the recording on the 3 books skips and jumps around. The story and narrator is great but when it starts jumping it’s hard to follow.

Great book

Loved the narrator, loved the Box Set, but have a lot of skips during the story happening- I am not used to that from Audible Books

Such a great listen.

Excellent series. Echo Park will always go down as my favorite Bosch book. A must read.

Set is very good places dates and events for Bosch

Every one should read The Poet first. The cast is set for many of Michael Connelly readers.

Have you listened to any of Len Cariou’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Excellent!

Great Deal!

I really like Harry Bosch‘s books. I’ve been trying to go trough the whole collection one by one, and one from the bottom and one from the top, bottom, top (in terms of chronological order).

This box set delivers great stories, fast paced rhythm, and all that you like from a Connelly book.

Excellent -- Multi Title Review on Bosch Package

What made the experience of listening to Harry Bosch Box Set the most enjoyable?

This three package set is a great deal. The Bosch series improves with each release.

What other book might you compare Harry Bosch Box Set to and why?

Bosch is sort of a cross between Harry Callahan and Columbo. Tenacious, and bucks the system.

What about Len Cariou’s performance did you like?

The narrator was pretty good. I find the music a little distracting, sort of like a scene closing in a TV show.

Any additional comments?

I really like Michael Connelly and his character. However, I do have one pet peeve. Sort of like a movie where the slide is locked back on an automatic pistol, but you hear click, click.. You know it just isn't right. Bosch sometimes, does things that are beyond rouge and are just stupid. It makes me question his intelligence. At least call for back up before going in after the bad guy. Otherwise, this is an excellent character and mystery.
