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.

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln lawyer, a criminal defence attorney who operates out of the back of his car, a Lincoln, taking whatever cases the system throws in his path. He's been in the business a long time, and he knows just how to work it. When a Beverly Hills rich boy is arrested for brutally beating a woman, Haller has his first high-paying client in years.

Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write - and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

Time and time again in these riveting pieces, we make the connection between Connelly the crime reporter and Connelly the novelist: On the day I arrived in Los Angeles I sat in the newspaper editor's office being interviewed for a job on the crime beat.

Summary
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.

Stop Recording Music & F/X Over the Reader's Voice
I enjoy the Bosch Books and they are all well read but the producers keep recording annoying music and sound effects over the reader's voice. Stop it! I want to hear the words not Pan Pipes or the a sound effect of water lapping against a boat. Grrrrrr.

Good Listen.
The Poet is my favourite Michael Connelly book thus far and so I was looking forward to listening to this book. While not as good as it's predecessor, it is still an enjoyable story. I love Harry Bosch as a character and it's interesting to have his chapter's in the first person. My one issue is the background music and sound effects, which have gradually worked into the last few books....are they really needed?

Loved it.
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.

poetic justice
Where does The Narrows rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Harry Bosch is at the top of my list of favourites,,always. A plot that challenges me and pulls me right in to find this elusive chameleon.the fbi joisting with LAPD leaves room for a smile, albeit tense. All of this plot sat tightly together with briliant flow from vivd scene to vivd scene.MC created a smart way to bring some sweet promise of romance back into Harry's life for the next book.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I can barely breathe out I am in so much suspense! A gifted criminal who knows the ropes and is one step ahead, MC lures the best from each character, we know that Harry is going to get his man, but the catch is a chilling journey.
Which scene was your favorite?
Harry is always so smooth. Loved the way he just rocks on up in the desert and then even gets rescued by Rachel. The almost tragic narrows and then it doesn't even end there. Where next?
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
poetic justice! Has to become "a Poet's Justice"
Any additional comments?
Really missed the music in this one, especially since he was driving long distances. Some Frank Morgyn or who would he have like in this situation?
