Echo Park

De: Michael Connelly

Narrado por: Len Cariou

In 1995, Marie Gesto disappeared after walking out of a supermarket in Hollywood. Harry Bosch worked the case but couldn't crack it, and the 22-year-old woman never turned up, dead or alive. Now Bosch is in the Open-Unsolved Unit, where he still keeps the Gesto file on his desk, when he gets a call from the DA. A man accused of two heinous killings is willing to come clean about several other murders, including the killing of Marie Gesto. Bosch must now take Raynard Waits's confession and get close to the man he has sought - and hated - for eleven years. But when Bosch learns that he and his partner missed a clue back in 1995 that could have led them to Gesto's killer - and that would have stopped nine murders that followed - he begins to crack.
Michael Connelly's suspenseful new novel pits the detective People magazine calls "one of the most complex crime fighters around" against one of the most sadistic killers he has ever confronted. It confirms that Michael Connelly "is the best writer of suspense fiction working today" (Richmond Times-Dispatch).©2006 Hieronymus, Inc. All Rights Reserved; (P)2006 Hachette Audio.

Bosch is back

This was right up there with the best Bosch novels. I thouroughly enjoyed it.

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!

Enjoyable Read

excellent book! very well read, I loved every minute of this book. I've binged 11 books in this series so far and loved every minute of it!

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

An excellent story. Certainly one of the best Harry Bosch Novels. It will hold your interest throughout. Lots of twists and turns to the plot.

Does it again

Bosch feels as if every is good with him Eriving out of the way. Or is he? The twists and turns are ever present. The person who confessed to the murder of the girl , that had been may not be the must but he killed many people. Is a assist district attorney responsible for for letting a cop killer go? Is he also responsible for Bosch's partner Rider being shot. Another thriller!
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.
