Publisher's summary

A body has been found on the overlook near Mulholland Drive. The victim, identified as Dr. Stanley Kent, has two bullet holes in the back of his head, from what looks like an execution-style shooting. LAPD detective Harry Bosch is called out to investigate.

As soon as Bosch begins retracing Dr. Kent's steps, contradictions emerge. While Kent doesn't seem to have had ties to organized crime, he did have access to dangerous radioactive substances from just about every hospital in Los Angeles County. What begins as a routine homicide investigation opens up before Bosch into something much larger, more dangerous - and much more urgent.

The best of Connelly

I've heard many of the Connelly selections available and this book stands with the best of them. Though shorter than some of his other books, it's well worth the listen. Connelly's narrator is always outstanding!

Short half-life

A misdirection from his usual involved and developed plot and story line. Bosch is getting slow...
Enjoyable, nevertheless.
The narration, as always, is good.

Somewhat disappointing

Good book but it took a while for everything to come together. Didn't like where the author took the relationship between Bosch and Rachael. I thought the relationship turned too adversarial.

Liked it but too short

Had more a short story feel. The story never really developed in depth; just when you felt like things were getting going, it was about over. I hope he returns to the longer, deeper plots in his future Bosch works.

Murder to solve and finally a mystery.

I think it's time to put Harry Bosch to rest. I think this book is better than the last 2 and got a new twist.

Don't like the "music "

Found the squeaky music distracting and irritating. Let's don't do that again. Harry Bosch is my favorite and I get that he's an avid jazz fan--don't need it forced on me to get that idea.
Somehow this book just didn't measure up to most of the others.

Enjoyed learning about radioactive material

Enjoyed the story. Never knew to much about radioactive items, and hospital security.
Do to a disability I can't read like I used too. I am grateful for these audio books, and as a old Leo the Boush series is fun.
Did not care for the narrator on this one.
Anyway on to #15
