Summary
'Michael Connelly is a powerhouse, an unstoppable force in crime fiction. The Waiting is proof he is at the top of his game."
MICK HERRON, #1 bestselling author of SLOW HORSES
****
IN COLD CASES,
IT'S NOT THE HOPE THAT KILLS YOU.
IT'S THE WAITING.
LAPD Detective Renée Ballard gets a DNA hit in a case that has gone unsolved for twenty years. A recently arrested man is genetically related to a serial rapist who terrorised the city of angels.
But when the relative is revealed, it is the last person you want to accuse unless the evidence is watertight...
With the help of the newest volunteer to the cold case unit - patrol officer Maddie Bosch, Harry's daughter - Ballard finally has another badge on the team. But Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city's library of souls.
Because some crimes have been waiting to be solved longer than others...
An electrifying and authoritative thriller from one of the greatest crime writers of all-time - the author behind Amazon Prime's Bosch and Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer.

Best Ballard and Bosch book so far
Best Ballard and Bosch book so far, now have to wait for the next book. Excellent multi story book, with twist and turners.

connelly on top form shame about the download
at 8 hours and 29 minutes in the download it stopped playing on three attempts. finally managed to listen to most of it after choosing to play and select chapters after this time but this meant losing some of the story shattered the atmosphere. the readers were amazing but i was so stressed because of the gliche

The wait for this book did not pay off
I was so disappointed at the disjointed narration. It was so clear they never read this is the same room and it told.
I enjoy Ballard and previous books have been great but sorry to say this was just off centre for me.

Great listen
Great listen and great story. I am not surprised as I’ve read/listened to all Michael Connelly’s books. I love the split narration between Ballard, Bosch & Bosch. Cant wait for the next one!

DID NOT DISAPPOINT 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I pre-ordered this book many months ago, being a huge Michael Connelly /Harry Bosch fan. Yes, he does not feature much, but Rene Ballard has proven to be just as cool, complex and addictive a personality to follow. Gripping storyline flawlessly narrated. I binge listened in a couple of days and loved it. Highly recommend.

Great story. Thanks for keeping Harry Bosch around.
Connolly nails it yet again. Ballard is a fine character, let’s hope she makes it to our TV screens soon. Thank you.

standout
this is one of the best of the whole series and possibly even Connollys in general. I'm just disappointed I got through it so quickly
