The Closers

By: Michael Connelly

Narrated by: Len Cariou

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Detective Harry Bosch joins LA's elite Open/Unsolved Unit to help piece together the mysterious death of a teenage girl.

He walked away from the job three years ago. But Harry Bosch cannot resist the call to join the elite Open/Unsolved Unit. His mission: solve murders whose investigations were flawed, stalled, or abandoned to L.A.'s tides of crime. With some people openly rooting for his failure, Harry catches the case of a teenager dragged off to her death on Oat Mountain, and traces the DNA on the murder weapon to a small-time criminal. But something bigger and darker beckons, and Harry must battle to fit all the pieces together. Shaking cages and rattling ghosts, he will push the rules to the limit -- and expose the kind of truth that shatters lives, ends careers, and keeps the dead whispering in the night . . .©2005 Hieronymus, Inc.; (P)2005 Time Warner AudioBooks

Predictable, but a MUST read...

I have read all the Bosch books by Connelly and although I had this one figured out early on, it was still a great addition to the series!I love Harry and it didn't really matter that I guessed the outcome. Throughout the extensive Bosch series, Harry has matured as a character, adding new dimension with every title. Len Cariou is a tremendous. No one else should ever read for Bosch. If you're a Bosch fan, this is a must read... if you're new to the Bosch series, I recommend going back to the early novels and take them chronologically... get them all...there is not a "dog" among them!

Harry Is Back On the Job!

Go get 'em Harry. I have almost all of the Bosch series and some I have enjoyed some more than others. This one was just a delight. Harry out and about working the clues,following the leads, confusing his superiors and sometimes his partner. The narration was great and the jazz in between chapters gives these books the flavor a modern day Mike Hammer.

One of the better Harry Bosch stories

I've read all of Michael Connelly's books and enjoy the non-Bosch ("The Poet", "Chasing the Dime") books best. But that doesn't mean that these aren't good. Harry is aging realistically, if not gracefully, but he isn't ready to be turned out to pasture. His return to the LAPD after three years of retirement lands him in the "open/unsolved" unit, and he investigates a cold case involving spoiled teens, racial disharmony, grieving parents, insider coverups and a young girl's diary. The reader does a competent, comfortable job.

I love the Bosch series

I also love the Lincoln lawyer series, at least book 1-4, haven't read book 5 yet. I feel every Bosch book there is some different twist and/or the author would change the setup so you don't feel like its repeating a pattern. There's always surprises and I would pay attention to every detail describe just because this little benign detail just might be the clue to the final reveal. 12 hours of story can last and feel like a 24 hours story because of it. #awesome #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Even better than the TV series

I have to say I’m not much of a fiction, novel fan; until I started listening to the Harry Bosch series. I love the TV series, and it makes a great backdrop so you can picture the faces, I give every book in this series a 10 out of 10.
