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.

Bit of a slow start but delivered as usual

Any additional comments?

It took me a little while to get into this book. In the end I found it to be typical Connelly which is a very good listen. Dick Hill did a nice job as he did in first 2 books of series. Looking forward to next installment in the Bosch series.

Harry does it again!

Another good story. Not sure about Harry's romance but the end result was another excellent "read".

great new character; needs better voice

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I loved the new female character, and look forward to more books about her. However, unless the series gets a new narrator, I'll just read it.

Another Bosch mystery thriller by Connelly

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I have loved all the Bosch series that I have read or heard!

What did you like best about this story?

Love the series and how it flows from book to book!

What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?

He captures the characters and I do not feel like I am being read to, I feel like I am listening to a story and can see it in my mind from the narrative....

Connelly's future is written in the stars

This is the first of the HB series where Connelly begins easing up on the clichés begins branching out into other areas. The talent for writing gripping courtroom drama that is so evident in Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer series makes it's debut here, and it ends up outshining the rest of an already best-yet story.
