Summary

In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet nine years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any other evidence is virtually nonexistent.

Now Bosch and his new partner, rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Starting with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information, which soon reveals that this shooting may have been anything but random.

Read by Titus Welliver, star of the Bosch TV series.

Another Great Bosch Novel - I really hope that it's not the last!

I thought that I was going to dislike this audiobook. Not because of the story, but because it wouldn't have been narrated by the 'real' Bosch… I'd grown to love his distinctive gravelly voice. However, apparently it's narrated by the TV Bosch, and it's not too bad.

The story, of course, is brilliant! But I do hope that it's not the last…

Enjoy!

Brilliant story as always

Excellent writing as always, Titus Welliver's narration is brilliant, he's one of the best narrators; amazing voice. Having seen him playing Bosch in the TV series, he is the perfect choice for narrator, he really inhabits the character.

Harry's getting old!

What made the experience of listening to The Burning Room the most enjoyable?

As the years have gone by, Harry's mellowed a tiny amount. The story lines are just as good, but not so forceful or violent, in keeping with the age thing. Whilst I enjoyed Titus Welliver, who will make a fine on screen Harry, he doesn't 'do' other character voice changes, which makes some of the dialogue difficult to follow.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Different character voices rather than the same for all.

Another classic bosch,

I did slow down Titus narration to suit previous books and tone, but brillant. Never a bad book by Connelly, titi will find his tone in the narration I'm sure.

Another brilliant Bosch book. I've not listened to one yet I don't like but Titus doing the narration really brings them to life.

Good story and Titus smashed the performance

The plot was decent, very well told as usual but the real bonus was Titus Welliver's performance. Brought such individuality to each character I. A way I had yet to experience in the michael connelly novels to date.

Another great Bosch story narrated by the one and only true Bosch!

A great story once again, loved every minute of it and it was narrated by the one and only true Bosch, Titus Welliver! I can’t listen to earlier books that are not narrated by Titus since I’ve grown to see him as the true Bosch.

Can’t wait for the next one!

What's the problem?

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I hadn't expected to, given comments by previous reviewers about Welliver's narration. Maybe I am more accepting, but I did not find him monotonous.

A good story, with twists and turns aplenty, coupled with good narration.
