Echo Park: Harry Bosch Series, Book 12

De: Michael Connelly

Narrado por: Len Cariou

In 1993, Marie Gesto disappeared after walking out of a supermarket. Harry Bosch worked the case but couldn't crack it, and the 22-year-old was never found. Now, more than a decade later, with the Gesto file still on his desk, Bosch gets a call from the district attorney. A man accused of two heinous murders is willing to come clean about several others, including the killing of Marie Gesto.

Taking the confession of the man he has sought and hated for 13 years is bad enough. Discovering that he missed a clue back in 1993 that could have stopped nine other murders may just be the straw that breaks Harry Bosch.

Impressed? Ace detective Harry Bosch is also on the case in other exciting Michael Connelly crime-fiction novels.©2006 Hieronymus, Inc. All Rights Reserved (P)2006 Hachette Audio. All Rights Reserved

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Superior crime fiction, as suspenseful as it is psychologically acute." (Booklist)

"Smooth prose and plausible characters, even the secondary figures, elevate this several notches above the standard cop vs. serial-killer thriller." (Publishers Weekly)

A Great Whodunit!!

Connelly is an excellent writer... This story held my interest all the way through. It has enough twists and turns that gives the novel complexity. This was a "page turner" for me! It may be my favorite of all the Bosch novels. If you like detective novels with a little of everything from corrupt politicians, corrupt policemen and serial murderers on the loose and then you sprinkle all that with a little romance and add the well developed season of Bosch's keen detective sense... you've got a great whodunit!

The twist

I enjoy the entire story line regarding the LAPD insight to into their work life.

Another great story.

I love the Bosch series, but after book 10, my favorite, the last two stories are great but not as good. I’m glad they picked a narrator and have stuck with him the past few stories. Long live Detective Bosch!

Probably my favorite Harry Bosch Novel

The narration is excellent.

Loved the story

I really wish that Mr Carlou didn't pronounce every word that starts with "wh" sound like it has a"who" in front of it ("whowhere," "whowhich"). It caused me to anticipate it, which distracts from the story. Other than that, great book, as always, from Mr Connelly.

Can’t put it down kind of a crime story

I would recommend the Bosch complete series. I can’t put them down😀 The narration on this one is especially good.

Harry Bosch does it again

This was another good story with multiple twists and turns. Easy to follow and I was surprised at the end. I liked the bit of romance but Harry is challenged to keep things going.
