The man most hated by the LAPD - a black lawyer who has made his name by bringing lawsuits alleging racism and brutality by police officers - has been found murdered on the eve of a high-profile trial. The list of suspects includes half the police force. And Harry Bosch is the detective chosen to head the investigation. The political dangers of the case are huge. If it's not investigated fairly, the public outcry could make the Rodney King riots look tame. But a full investigation will take Bosch into the ugliest corners of law enforcement.Don't miss Detective Harry Bosch on the case in these Michael Connelly crime fiction novels.©1999 by Hieronymus, Inc.

Enjoyed the story, but didn't care for Burt Reynolds as the narrator. We've listened to the series in order and missed the previous reader!

not fond of Burt Reynolds reading!

What did you like best about Angels Flight? What did you like least?

The story was great but Burt Reynolds perfomance was attrocious! I am a big audio book fan. I drive for a living and years ago started with books on tape.Burt Reynolds reading of Angels Flight was the worst reading I have ever heard. His over the top vocal inflections were rediculous and made parts of the book hard to hear. I had to keep rewinding to try and figure out what he said.Reynolds reading made a good story hard to understand and keep up with.Mr. Reynolds needs to understand that reading a book is not all about him, it's all about the characters and the story.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I am a big Connoley fan and love the Harry Bosch character. The story was great and I enjoyed it.

How could the performance have been better?

Get rid of Burt Reynolds. Dick Hill, Len Cariou, Dick Davidson, Jay Fernandez, they get it. They understand it's about the story and the charachters. They do not try to make the book about them. Reynolds does not have a clue how to read a story.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes I would. I enjoyed Blood Work and really enjoyed the Lincoln lawyer. I am glad that the debacle with Paramount is over and I am looking forward to the Harry Bosch TV series if they can get it done.

Any additional comments?

MC keep up the good work. I am a big fan of your stories.

Burt Reynolds is the Worst!

What made the experience of listening to Angels Flight the most enjoyable?

Good story line, even if not Connolly's best. Will keep the reader intrigued to the very end.

What did you like best about this story?

No suspects till the very end!

Which character – as performed by Burt Reynolds – was your favorite?

Harry Bosch. Burt embodies the voice of Harry as I imagined it when reading all the other Harry Bosch books.

Burt Reynolds IS Harry Bosch!

The story was good but I personally can't handle Burt Reynolds reading it. I will never listen to another one he does. The story was very good though.

Can't handle Burt

This audiobook is typical Connelly / Harry Bosche fare. It's a good story and will keep your attention.

I would have given it a higher rating, but the Burt Reynolds reading is uninspiring, and I would have preferred an unabridged version, if one exists.

Good Story

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes, first, the narrator. Burt Reynolds was hard to understand and several times I wondered if he was ill as his voice was weak at times. Second, the story really didn't go anywhere. I love the Harry Bosch series and I'm almost halfway through them but this was the least liked so far.

What did you like best about this story?

The character, Harry Bosch.

What didn’t you like about Burt Reynolds’s performance?

His tone of voice, narration style, no intonation. No excitement, no enthusiasm.

Did Angels Flight inspire you to do anything?

No.

Any additional comments?

If you like Harry Bosch, you should like the book. I can't comment further without giving part of the story away.

Disappointing

Enjoyed the story ...was very difficult to understand the reader. Had to turn up volume and treble to catch all the words.

Really like the Harry Bosch series.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I loved the story but can't say my time was well spent because I couldn't get beyond Burt's stereotypical accents and voices. The whispers were a little creepy!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Harry Bosch was again written wonderfully

What didn’t you like about Burt Reynolds’s performance?

Pretty poor, I couldn't get beyond Burt's stereotypical accents and voices. The whispers were a little creepy!

Could you see Angels Flight being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Hugh Jackman would be a great Bosch

Any additional comments?

Connelly is fantastic!

Great story, Burt didn't live up to expectations

I thought the storyline was a little flat. It did not keep me very interested. Im not sure if it was the actual story or the narration. I thought B. Reynolds did a terrible job narrating. At times it was difficult to hear and understand him. Not one of Michael Connelly's best

Definitely go with Burt Reynolds’ narration…The other option sounds like a continuous movie trailer.
