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.

Not a fan of the narrator

I typically love Michael Connolly books but this one was not his best. I have never listened to the books and found the voice of the narrator to be a little distracting. In particular, his portrayal of female characters was annoying at points. It was still a good story. I think that I will choose to read his work in the future.

One of the Best

I rate this as one of the best from Connelly because he has such a short time to put the story together. It immediately grabs you and takes you to the end without a break. As in other Connelly books, I have heard them all, Connelly has a warm up time like most writers have, and then they deliver. This book starts out great and reads like it till the end.
If you like Len Cariou, this won't disappoint. This is a classic for him also. Great all around book, very easy to listen to in one day.

music

I really enjoyed the addition of the music behind the story and used to emphasize transitions.

Classic Connelly

Really good with several "twists" that keep you guessing. But then everything that he writes is good.

The random music ruins it

Like all of the Harry Bosch audible books, the random and unnecessary music ruins the experience.

Good but buy the collection

Ok, like all the Bosch series, this is good, but I was super pissed to find out I could buy three books for one credit - The Narrows, Echo Park, and The Overlook rather than buying them all separately. Don’t make my mistake.

Not up to expectations

Must have had a deadline. Not a bad book but not up to his usual standards. I am a real fan and you have to listen or read this book but be prepared to be a little let down by the quickness of this read/listen.

Great Listen... Good Story!

Loved it! It's so much more enjoyable to listen to these books rather than read them... at least for me. I really feel like a fly on the wall in them.
