Publisher's summary
Former FBI agent Rachel Walling is working a dead-end stint in South Dakota when she gets the call she's been dreading for four years. The Poet is back. And he has not forgotten Rachel. He has a special present for her.
Harry Bosch is adjusting to life in Las Vegas as a private investigator and as a new father. He gets a call, too, from the widow of a friend who died recently. Previously in his FBI career, the friend worked on the famous case tracking the killer known as The Poet. This fact alone makes some of the elements of his death doubly suspicious. And Harry Bosch is heading straight into the path of the most ruthless and inventive murderer he has ever encountered.

poetic justice
Where does The Narrows rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Harry Bosch is at the top of my list of favourites,,always. A plot that challenges me and pulls me right in to find this elusive chameleon.the fbi joisting with LAPD leaves room for a smile, albeit tense. All of this plot sat tightly together with briliant flow from vivd scene to vivd scene.MC created a smart way to bring some sweet promise of romance back into Harry's life for the next book.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I can barely breathe out I am in so much suspense! A gifted criminal who knows the ropes and is one step ahead, MC lures the best from each character, we know that Harry is going to get his man, but the catch is a chilling journey.
Which scene was your favorite?
Harry is always so smooth. Loved the way he just rocks on up in the desert and then even gets rescued by Rachel. The almost tragic narrows and then it doesn't even end there. Where next?
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
poetic justice! Has to become "a Poet's Justice"
Any additional comments?
Really missed the music in this one, especially since he was driving long distances. Some Frank Morgyn or who would he have like in this situation?

Great book but..
A great Bosch story and a great reader, but I found the music used and its timing confusing.

Music and sound effects.
Please stop the music between chapters and unnecessary sound effects. I use audiobooks to sooth me to sleep at night and the music breaks and sound effects negate the soporific effect of listening to a voice. Even if not trying to sleep I still find it very distracting and unnecessary. If I want music and sound effects I would rather be at the cinema or watching TV. I love Harry Bosch but had to stop listening to this one and the last one as I couldn't sleep and was becoming irritated so have had to switch to a non Audible book to ensure it had no added sound. Thank you.

Stop Recording Music & F/X Over the Reader's Voice
I enjoy the Bosch Books and they are all well read but the producers keep recording annoying music and sound effects over the reader's voice. Stop it! I want to hear the words not Pan Pipes or the a sound effect of water lapping against a boat. Grrrrrr.

Good Story,But...........
Really enjoyed the book but the needless music that's played between chapters is slightly annoying and the narrator seems to have an issue with words starting with "Wh" .

Great book. Silly performance features
I was distracted by the music and sound effects at the end and start of each chapter. A silly feature. This should not occur. I persevered because it is a great book but would not have if I had not known the author. Don’t do it

The Best One Since ‘The Black Echo’
I’ve been listening to the Bosch series for a while now and really like them all but up until now nothing was close to the first one. I’d even go as far as saying this is the best one I’ve listened to

Clumsy Bosch
The story portrays Harry as having lost some competence since he left the force. The reader can see what's going to happen next but Harry is caught out. Let's hope he gets his act back together soon. Not the best Bosch.

What’s with the musical intro when chapters end and finish.
This book is hard to put down until you hear a chapter end and start, It breaks immersion.
Other than that this book is great it’s and so is the performance.

You think you have it worked out, then BAM! Another twist! Sitting on the edge of your seat is too mild of a description! I hate it when the books come to an end! Fabulous writer, fantastic stories, amazing story lines. I feel I really know Harry Boche.
