Executive Summary: I thought this started a bit slow, had a pretty good middle and a somewhat underwhelming ending.

Audiobook: Dick Hill does a pretty good with the book. He does a few voices that makes it easier to distinguish between the characters and making this book work pretty well in audio.

Full Review
This is now the 3rd Harry Bosch book I've read, and I thought it was OK, but I was sort of let down by the ending a bit. I also found some of the issues raised in this book by the trial of Harry Bosch stirring up memories of recent events in the news (and not in a good way).

I found the actual mystery part of the book pretty enjoyable. I liked the way in which Harry went about investigating things. I thought things felt pretty believable all along. However I found the final reveal and some of the fallout from it, a bit of a let down.

I'm not sure what I was hoping for, but I'm not sure I'll continue on with the series. I haven't found the sequel books nearly as enjoyable as the first one was.
