Angels Flight

In this thrilling New York Times bestseller, LAPD detective Harry Bosch is trying to solve a high-profile lawyer's murder—but first he must face the public's suspicion ... and his darkest fears.

An activist attorney is killed in a cute little L.A. trolley called Angels Flight, far from Harry Bosch's Hollywood turf. But the case is so explosive—and the dead man's enemies inside the L.A.P.D. are so numerous—that it falls to Harry to solve it.

Now the streets are superheating. Harry's year-old Vegas marriage is unraveling. And the hunt for a killer is leading Harry to another high-profile L.A. murder case, one where every cop had a motive. The question is, did any have the guts?

"Michael Connelly is the master of the universe in which he lives, and that is the sphere of crime thrillers. This man is so good at what he does." ―Huffington Post

Reeeely Good Bosch

Harry's self inflicting wounds again, driven by his pesky sense of ethics.Connelly is such a competent technician that once more the plot is complex yet accessible. The characters while each drawn with limited brushstrokes, are competently formed to create tension, feed momentum, and buckle me in right to the darkly satisfying ending among the burning streets of Las Angeles.

I took a rest from Harry for some months, but Angels Flight's made me wonder why. Regardless, Connelly spent time on this tale, it shows. He's a pro and fortunate to have Peter Giles interpret his ensemble so effectively. Thing is though, I'd recommend not stating the Harry Bosch novels with this one. Nope, go on back to the beginning so you'll enjoy the tales that have led up to Angels Flight. But if you must start here, well this story can stand alone pretty effectively.

The Narrator doesn't work

The story is great but the narrator sounds like he's doing the trailer for an action movie. I didn't like it and I looked ahead and was glad he only did this one book in the series.

Best One Yet!

While I miss Dick Hill’s narration, the story more than made up for it. I try to save my listening time for my commute to work but found myself not able to do this with Angel’s Flight. Highly recommended.

loved it

quite different from the Amazon series but a great story told well by the narrator

Story is great; Narrator just ok

I have listened to a number of books in the series and agree with other reviewers. The story is great but I struggled with the narrator. Not nearly as good as the earlier audio books for Bosch series.
