AVOID this version. It is impossible to follow. Who ever is responsible should be forced to listen to it a hundred times.

Am I missing something?
Reviewed: 07-11-24
The reviews I read sounded encouraging, so I gave this series a try. Now I am wondering if those reviews were real. The story is ok, but the narrator/reader makes it hard to listen to. He is flat boring with his monotone delivery. The main character sounds robotic. The supporting voices are only slightly less robotic. It's hard to get through this story.

The story is uninteresting and the narrator makes it worst. Another whining female...does the author really need to create female characters that have no spine?

Hard to believe I got through it...
Reviewed: 02-08-23
Four books of CJ Washburn. Wow. The author knows how to take a character and run with it...run from it. Makes me want to avoid the whole state of Arizona. Sorry Grand Canyon, maybe next life time. Seriously, if all you want is light hearted entertainment without political drama, then look no further...as long as you can put up with a main character with no common sense what so ever...does dumb while believing he is the smartest person in the room...never seems to learn anything. But enough of the good...
The narrator is so so, females sound like men trying to sound like women; the story lines are the same in each book; numerous technical errors straight out of TV scripts; main characters not to care about much less like.

I'm Trying To Like Her...
Reviewed: 01-30-23
Rene Ballard continues to be a difficult character for me to like and want to get to know...now I just read to find out how Bosch is doing...but as Bosch ages it seems we are stuck with her. And this time there is even more politics thrown in, as if the media didn't force feed us enough already. I won't list all the issues that make it difficult to like her...like her stupidity...let's just say that "Mindenhall" would have been better....but it's all about the fake drama!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6,385
In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved. Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box", the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.

Bad narrator...flat...never bothered to learn the local pronunciation of location names...which made a so-so story a chore to get through. It's tiresome to always see supervisors as box checking demons who never do any good.

A movie director is charged with murdering an actress during sex, and then staging her death to make it look like a suicide. In a seemingly unrelated case, a loner is murdered, leaving the sheriff's department with no clues. One unsettling revelation after another leaves a retired FBI agent and an L.A. detective thinking they've unmasked a most frightening killer with almost inconceivable calculation.

Nothing new
Reviewed: 07-19-22
The author clearly did not research how an actual LA detective works. He apparently used TV's Lt. Columbo as his model, i.e., only deals with upper society murder victims and primarily works alone... But if you place your storyline in the present reality, your detective must also be reflective of this fact.
This author, instead, takes the easy way and doesn't do any homework...just cuts and pastes from 80 year old detective pulp fiction and calls it his own.
On top of it all, he constantly brings up recent political narratives as if that might be entertaining. Of course, his politics come shining through and makes one feel they are listening to the talking-head drones of the many TV commentators.
I want escape filled entertainment not borish political commentary.
