book 6 not quite so good

I am hooked on this series this one had a new narrator which was a surprise but you get used to it. Did not like background music at certain points. Story was a bit slower to grab your attention however excellent ending. Now onto book 7

Excellent read

This was the first Harry Bosch novel I read/heard and found the writing style, pace and length of story entirely to my taste.
The reading by Burt Reynolds is particularly good and for me set 'the voice' for the future.
The plot is excellent and totally believable although with the story of the LA riots fading its significance is somewhat dated. Nontheless it stands on its own as a very good detective story and since reading this I have gone on to acquire all the other HB novels either in print or on audio.

Great

Another great book by Michael Conneley. However, although it was a treat listening to Burt Reynolds, the audio was difficult to hear at times as the volume of the voice varied so much and wasn’t always clear.

awful narrator words slurred as Bosch

words barely distinguishable, I'm English ( sorry) so probably worse for me. I managed to understand most characters with some difficulty but Bosch was so very hard! All your other narrators have been excellent and I love the series.

Poor narration

Narration by Burt Reynolds made for difficult listening. He kept mixing up voices of the characters, making you wonder who was supposed to be speaking. He also kept giving different characters a rather poor southern drawl one moment and none the next. Really the producer should have got him to re-record the errors. I've listened to many Michael Connelly books in the Bosch series and previous narrations have been really excellent. The story is as good as any written by Mr Connelly but I wouldn't listen to one narrated by Burt again. Sorry Burt. The occasional background music was also a little too loud at times interspersed with chimes which sounded like my doorbell, rather frustrating as I kept getting up to answer the door. Still, it's a good story and once you get used to Burt, it's worth keeping on till the end.

Good story but not as well read as previous five

i can never understand why you change the reader of a series half way through. dick hill in bosh 1 to 5 was ideal for boss. burt reynolds voice is too low and sounds like he is holdinghis teeth in dull drowl!



its a shame because the stories are excellent!

Classic Connelly but Bert falls short of previous readers

This is a great read, classic Bosch crafted by Michael Connelly but The reader failed to live up the extremely high standards of previous Bosch renditions. Still a great step in Harry's story as an LAPD detective.

Great Story.

Really enjoyed the story, the development of Bosch as a broken but genuinely good character continues. shame that the study was sometimes difficult to hear.
