Dark Sacred Night

By: Michael Connelly

Narrated by: Titus Welliver, Christine Lakin

At the end of a long, dark night Detectives Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch cross paths for the very first time.

Detective Renée Ballard is working the graveyard shift again and returns to Hollywood Station in the early hours only to find that an older man has snuck in and is rifling through old file cabinets. The intruder is none other than legendary LAPD detective Harry Bosch, working a cold case that has gotten under his skin.

Ballard kicks him out, but eventually Bosch persuades her to help, and she relents. Bosch is investigating the death of 15-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway who was brutally murdered. He crossed paths with her devastated mother while working a previous case, and Daisy's story has seized hold of him.

Can visualize it like a movie

I am a huge fan of Titus Welliver - he is the ultimate Harry Bosch - so cool!

Awesome!

Great story that really seem plausible. Great performances as well by both readers. I strongly recommends it if you are into detective stories!

Excellent

Nice to see the new character and Harry Bosch together Good story. Hope there are more of them together.

Classic Bosch if a little predictable

A classic Michael Connelly novel, full of great procedural stuff, understandable jargon and action. Some of the outcomes were a little predictable (I don’t mean the plot - so no spoilers here), but hey, this is a Bosch story so it goes with the territory.

I have to admit, I could do without the dramatic music though. This is an audio book, not a movie and I don’t need anything to set the scene except the unabridged words, which were well voiced by Welliver and Lakin.

A welcome return to the Bosh series after a long

A welcome return to the Bosh series after a long absence. This book introduces a great new character into the Bosch series and signals more great stories to come. Harry is kidnapped and nearly killed by gang members while also working on an unsolved nine year old abduction and murder case. Fortunately his new partner saves his life and he returns the favour later in the book. This was a top tier effort and I look forward to the next one.
