Publisher's summary

Detective Harry Bosch was sure he'd shot the serial killer responsible for a string of murders in LA...but now, a new crime makes him question his convictions.

The Dollmaker was the name of the serial killer who had stalked Los Angeles ruthlessly, leaving grisly calling cards on the faces of his female victims. Now with a single faultless shot, Detective Harry Bosch thinks he has ended the city's nightmare.

But the dead man's widow is suing Harry and the LAPD for killing the wrong man - an accusation that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature.

So for the second time, Harry must hunt down a death-dealer who is very much alive, before he strikes again. It's a blood-tracked quest that will take Harry from the hard edges of the L.A. night to the last place he ever wanted to go - the darkness of his own heart.

With The Concrete Blonde, Edgar Award-winning author Michael Connelly has hit a whole new level in his career, creating a breathtaking thriller that thrusts you into a blistering courtroom battle - and a desperate search for a sadistic killer.

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

Bosch

I enjoyed this book a lot. The story moved along and kept my interest with the various situations that intertwined through out the book. I never expected the end. Maybe you will be a better sleuth than I am. Happy listening.
Peace

Well written and intriguing story, even listening a second time

Loved it all. I really like this character and how he portrays him. Watching the movie even though the storyline has a bit different really helps me to identify with the character also. I think Titus Welliver really has the character pinned down exactly the way the author portrays him. But I think I like the storyline in the book better.

Whole book is court proceedings

I’ve enjoyed the other books leading to this one but it moves slow. For a book focused on a serial killer, it’s remarkably boring. Some prototypical characters are annoying. I just kept wishing he’d get on with it already!

Twists & turns, Dick Hill Narration

I thought I had cracked the case but Connelly is too crafty. Great story and as ALWAYS the great Dick Hill makes the story truly come to life. On to The Last Coyote
Enjoy!

Haunted by the Past

Some cases just never go away, some memories stay with you forever, and Bosch has to sort through the past to find his nemesis who is taunting him again. Good listen, good narration, well crafted story.

loved the story line

keeps you guessing who done it most of the way through. Now I'm going to have to listen to book 4. Can't wait to see what Bosch is into now. great series, and a good read (or listen) if you just get one of these Michael Connelly books
