Audiobook Review
By: Michael Connelly
Series: Harry Bosch Audiobooks, book 13
Narrated by: Len Cariou
Length: 6 hrs and 37 mins
I recently discovered Bosch TV series on Amazon and am eagerly waiting for Season 4. I saw this audiobook and thought I would try it. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to hearing more. Connelly is a master of misdirection in this thrilling mystery where nothing can be taken at face value.
Bosch is called out to a murder scene and the FBI quickly becomes involved when terrorists are suspected of stealing cesium to mount an attack. There are a lot of lies and backstabbing between Bosch and the FBI but Bosch ultimately solves the murder.
Engaging. Made sitting in traffic fun. Can’t wait to choose my next Bosch Audiobook!
Plot Summary
A body has been found on the overlook near Mulholland Drive. The victim, identified as Dr. Stanley Kent, has two bullet holes in the back of his head, from what looks like an execution-style shooting. LAPD detective Harry Bosch is called out to investigate.
As soon as Bosch begins retracing Dr. Kent’s steps, contradictions emerge. While Kent doesn’t seem to have had ties to organized crime, he did have access to dangerous radioactive substances from just about every hospital in Los Angeles County. What begins as a routine homicide investigation opens up before Bosch into something much larger, more dangerous – and much more urgent.
