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.

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!

Enjoyable Read

The narration is excellent.

M. Connelly at his very best

Mr. Cariou's narration delivers this story with a level of excellence that makes this book a must read for those of us that love this genre. Connelly is second to none as a story teller of life in the LAPD and the dregs of humanity they deal with daily. It must be tough to be an evil doer in Southern California with Harry Bosch on the side of law and order. Great character development and plot twists and turns. Highly recommend.

OMG

So as with all the books in the series Harry Bosch is becoming more amd more narrow minded and selfish, He seems to care less and less for others and this characterization will take away from him portraying a caring father to his daughter almost seems fitting that she doesn't live with him because his actions show he only cares about his end result and no one else's.

Excellent

I have listened to many Harry Bosch stories and this one had many intricate twists and turns. Harry's a good smart cop who always gets his man - one way or another. It will be interesting to see whether he ever gets the girls again. Well written and well read.

Fast Paced & Gripping

I really love the Harry Bosch series and was enthralled by this one...a really great mystery that I just couldn't "put down" -- it seemed like half the time. The development of the character along with the hunt for the villians and the backdrop of LAPD and LA politics make for a fine story. The narrator is particularly skilled with both the male and female voices...a pleasurable "listen." I find myself anxious for the next book in this series. Buy it, sit back and enjoy!

Just a Down Right Good Story!

This was another great detective tale! The Los Angeles setting, the familiarity of Harry Bosch (this is book 12) and the way Connelly spins a tale have me hooked. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale. . .and all the complexities confounding Harry's search for truth. Len Cariou performance, as always, was wonderful.

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.
