Nine Dragons

A Harry Bosch Novel

De: Michael Connelly

Narrado por: Len Cariou

The shooting of a Chinese liquor store owner in LA brings Harry Bosch back to the Rodney King riots and the moment a stranger gave a young cop sanctuary. Now the debt must be repaid, and Harry soon discovers the old man's death was no ordinary hold-up.

Homing in on clues disregarded by the cops on the scene, Harry builds a picture of corruption and intimidation, with the local Triads at the heart of it. But as he tries to build a case and breach the impenetrable wall of silence in the local community, he finds he is taking a dragon by the tail - a dragon whose talons reach well beyond LA, and even the States.

Suddenly the most precious thing in Harry's life is under threat, and he will need to leave the familiarity of his home turf, alone and without backup, if he is going to stop his worst nightmare from happening.

Trilling Story

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

Absolutely - some Harry Bosch stories can be a little slow. This tale was fast paced, loved the changes in scenery and the new characters. If you liked Taken I have a feeling you will like this book.

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

Great work, the narrator told the story in such a way you that you were able to be absorbed into the story!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

absolutely - I won't mention in case of spoiling the story but book definitely left me thinking

Any additional comments?

This is not a normal Harry Bosch title, even if you have tried one of these before & didn't love it - give Connelly another try with this book!

A good plot on a par with many Bosch stories from Connelly

And this one gets out of the US for a while which is a nice change. Connelly includes the regular characters but spins and intriguing story with a twist at the end, an enjoyable read.

Brilliant

Another Michael Connolly book that is an excellent listen. All Harry Bosch fans will love this book. Very sad in some places and thrilling in others.

The Best Yet

Where does Nine Dragons rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Over the past year I've been listening to all the Harry Bosch series - starting with the first one. I've enjoyed them all, but his one has been the best so far in my opinion.

What other book might you compare Nine Dragons to and why?

All the other Bosch series of course, but also similar to the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy I think. I listened to TGWTDT as audio books and loved them, then went on a search for more audio books but never really found something that grabbed me the way they did. Then I found Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series and really got into it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't see the twist coming in this one. Usually I can predict the twist but this one caught me off guard.

Any additional comments?

My 13 year old son listened to this one with me while we were driving and he loved it too.

Super avvincente

Bel thriller, avvincente, ricco di colpi di scena e suspense. Super consigliato per tutti gli amanti di polizieschi.
