A Darkness More Than Night

By: Michael Connelly

Narrated by: Richard M Davidson

Terry McCaleb's enforced quiet lifestyle on the island of Catalina is a far cry from the hectic excitement of his former role as an FBI profiler. However, when small-time criminal Edward Gunn is found dead, McCaleb becomes embroiled in a disturbing and complex case leading him to cross the path of Harry Bosch.

This infamous detective has always teetered on the brink of darkness in order to get inside the head of the killer. Is it possible that he has stepped across that finely drawn line and embraced darkness?

Critic reviews

Michael Connelly has created a range of memorable cops and robbers, any one who could sustain a series ... This book is ingenious, original and - with every beat of its procedural heart - authentic

A DARKNESS MORE THAN NIGHT ... has the authentic Connelly touches - crisp dialogue, masterly pacing and his familiar preoccupation with the battle against evil - and it makes gripping reading

Another gripping, well-written thriller. At times gut-wrenchingly scary, at times maddeningly cryptic, he keeps you enthralled to the last page

There's no doubt that when it comes to crime writing Connelly is right on top of the heap: impelled by a ferociously powerful narrative drive, his books grip with the prehensile strength of a mole wrench ... far better than its rivals, with a brilliantly organised plot and a genuinely exciting ending

The plot rattles along in fifth gear, with upsets galore on every page. A thrilling, challenging read, as one has come to expect from Connelly

A richly plotted and complex novel ... The resolution is brilliantly worked out ... and, as is usual with this author, there is a coda that brings more surprises. A rich and satisfying read, this, and one that throws light on the dark underbelly of human behaviour

Connelly writes with a controlled fury that jumps right off the page. This is sublime stuff

Connelly's many fans are in for a treat because his latest novel features his unorthodox streetwise cop Harry Bosch and brilliant psychological profiler Terry McCaleb ... Sharply original and unfailingly gripping

Not a fan of the performance

Having listened to the forerunning Bosch books narrated by Dick Hill it was difficult to adjust to harry Bosch with a completely different voice and character. Also a different narrator to blood work (terry macaleb). I nearly gave up on the book many times.

Im enjoying the Terry McCaleb series and the Harry

I'm enjoying the Terry McCaleb series and the Harry Bosch overlap added even more gravity to the investigation as a serial killer almost succeeds in framing Bosch for his crimes. As we've come to expect from Michael Connelly, the book is well crafted with good character and plot development and enough twists and turns to keep the pages turning ata steady pace. A top tier effort in my library.

Not really a Bosch story

It really is a McCalab story featuring Harry Bosch, but enjoyable and with some action; the solution came too quickly to what I’m used to with Harry Bosch, not very complicated

Hard to Listen To

What a disappointing ebook from Michael Connelly. The narration by Richard M Davidson lends no appeal. A wasted credit.
