About this listen

Former FBI agent Rachel Walling is working a dead-end stint in South Dakota when she gets the call she's been dreading for four years. The Poet is back. And he has not forgotten Rachel. He has a special present for her.

Harry Bosch is adjusting to life in Las Vegas as a private investigator and as a new father. He gets a call, too, from the widow of a friend who died recently. Previously in his FBI career, the friend worked on the famous case tracking the killer known as The Poet. This fact alone makes some of the elements of his death doubly suspicious. And Harry Bosch is heading straight into the path of the most ruthless and inventive murderer he has ever encountered.

Hwen pronunciation goes bad

I'm warming to Len Cariou now, after Dick Hills definitive performances and excellent portrayal of Harry Bosch & Co, I did initially struggle with the new style Len brought to this brilliant series. This story was definitely a thriller. I personally found the addition of music quite acceptable in this particular production. Tastefully done in most instances, and complimented the situations and mood. The Poet is an all time favourite of mine, so with this book picking up from that story - plus adding Bosch and Terry McCaleb into the mix - my anticipation levels were set very high, so I was extremely impressed and relieved at Michael Connellys ability to do his own excellent previous work such justice! Len Cariou did a wonderful job of bring it to life also.
So go ahead.
You won't be disappointed.

Loved it.

Unusually I found this book to be long winded and at times quite boring overall it kept me interested but not excited

One of my favourite Bosch novels.
not sure I like the sound effects though, I think they are a little intrusive and therefore distracting. the author sets the scene perfectly, adding effects is kind of gilding the Lily! still a five, though!!!

Superb!
