Nine Dragons

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.

What did you like best about this story?

Racing through HK to find his daughter

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!

Super avvincente

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

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.

Narration kills it

I was not a huge fan of the narrator, his voice was so 'rough' and 'scratchy' and way he read did not hold my attention even though the story was interesting.
Give the book a 4/5 but the narration 2/5.

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.
