Story
For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal...because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit.

Summary
Harry Bosch finds himself yet again in charge of a case that no one else will touch. This time his job is to nail the killer of hot shot black lawyer Howard Elias. Elias has been found murdered on the eve of going to court on behalf of Michael Harris, a man the LAPD believes guilty of the rape and murder of a twelve-year-old girl.
Elias had let it be known that the aim of his civil case was not only to reveal the real killer but to target and bring down the racist cops who beat up his client during a violent interrogation. Now it's all down to Bosch - and he's got to take a long, hard look at some of his colleagues in a police department that is rife with suspicion and hatred.

Another great Harry Bosch tale
I love the Harry Bosch books and am currently listening to them all in order. After Dick Hill's wonderful narration on the previous books Peter Giles's takes a while to get used to. Initially it sounds like every line is being said like it's the tag line on a movie trailer but stick with it and you will get so absorbed in the story that it won't matter. I got used to the narration as the book went on and it didn't bother me after a while.
The story is great, as they have all been so far, plenty of gritty police in fighting and intrigue as well as a case complicated enough that you won't guess the outcome straight away.
I'm off to listen to the next one now!

Very disappointed with Peter Giles as a narrator
What made the experience of listening to Angels Flight the most enjoyable?
The complex and twisting plot was very good. If Dick Hill had still been the narrator, I would have probably listened to this in 2 or 3 days. However, Peter Giles is not a superb narrator, his voice and style are irritating
How did the narrator detract from the book?
His voice, style and presentation are pretentious and unnecessarily gruff. He is unable to vary his pitch enough to accommodate female characters. Bring back Dick Hill, who has a stunning ability to tell a good story.
I honestly don't know if I can stand another book narrated by Giles.

Love the book - dislike the breathy narration
Would you try another book written by Michael Connelly or narrated by Peter Giles?
Yes to Michael Connelly but no to Peter Giles
What was one of the most memorable moments of Angels Flight?
Waiting for the tension surrounding Eleanor Wish to break
Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Giles’s performances?
No
Could you see Angels Flight being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
Hmm - would need more time to mull that over

Great book, terrible narration.
Have loved every single Harry Bosch book so far, however this narrator seemed to have little to no understanding of the meaning of the sentences he was reading. Inflections were all over the place, the tone was dreadful and pauses were unpredictable and inappropriate. Shame.

Voice of reader so low it's hard to understand.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
i can't recommend this version of Angels Flight because the reader Peter Giles has such a low voice that he is hard to understand.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I couldn't actually listen to the recording because of the reader's voice. The low voice made me really uncomfortable, plus, in my car it became unintelligible.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter Giles?
yes, definitely.

People who've criticized the narrator are obviously used to a certain style of narration. I've been binging on Harry Bosch stories and I can see how different the old narrator's style from this one. Approach this narrator with an open mind and you'll appreciate his style and talent as well.

One of his best. Few twists at the end so that it's a story within a story. This is the pick of his books that I have read so far. Great read.
