I had previously read and loved all of the Harry Bosch books but hadn't read any Connelly in a couple years.  I forgot how much I missed his writing!  With other writers I find I am always looking for a twist or a 'hook', but MC writes so well that even a fairly predictable and straight forward book like this one has me anxious to read the next chapter, every chapter!  This book pulls both Bosch and Haller into the story, and does so brilliantly.  A great read, I'm already 1/4 of the way through the next book and looking forward to the one after that!!

Michael Connelly does it again --another strong entry in the Harry Bosch series.  I cannot think of another writer as prolific as Connelly who is still as strong after this many books. I would not recommend starting with this book without reading the series in order; there are too many references to the back story and Connelly does not waste time trying to fill in the gaps for someone new to the series.  For fans, this is another satisfying thriller with the door left open for the next chapter in Harry's life.  I look forward to that installment, whenever it arrives.

Connelly writes an awesome story every time.  I think I've read nearly everything he has written, maybe missed a couple but not on purpose.  Although the Harry Bosch novels are my favorite, I love how he made Mickey Haller's character evolve.  Don't miss any of the Mickey Haller novels and don't miss any of the Harry Bosch if you've never read them!

Any read with Harry Bosch in it is well worth the purchase.  I recommend these stories to any reader. Michael Connelly will not disappoint.

Great addition to the Bosch cannon. Wondering how the series is going to end. Loved how Michael Connelly uses Harrys age as a way to move the plot forward. Excellent read.

Michael Connelly does such a great job of developing the Harry Bosch character.  This book, like most of Mr. Connelly's was captivating and a real mystery.  It's a "keep you up all night" kind of book.  Loved it.

For lovers of Michael Connelly this would have to be his best ever.  This is a story about a trial and all that surrounds it.  If you like court cases you will really enjoy this one.

The plot is intriguing and very cleverly put together, it keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end.

The characters in the book will be familiar to you and are larger than life in this book.

Don't be put off by the title it actually makes sense.

I first became aware of Michael Connelly by watching the video Bosch.  I enjoyed it tremendously and was sorry when it was finished.  I read up on Mr. Connelly and found he had written a multitude of novels.  I saw he has the Harry Bosch Series so ordered The Black Echo (Book 1) from Amazon.

I am as enthused by this novel as I was by the video.  As I was reading, I could see and hear Harry's voice just as if I were still watching the video.  The novel was excellent.  Interesting storyline, terrific cast of characters, kept me engrossed right to the end.  I now consider myself a Michael Connelly fan and can't wait to read more of his novels.

As a mystery book fan, I feel I've found a new author that will keep me entertained.  If you haven't tried any of his novels yet, please try one.  I'm sure you will be as impressed as I am.  Happy reading!!

It was great to read Connelly weave a story and go from zero to a victory.  It has been sometime since I read him but he never ceases to surprise and keep the reader locked in and page turning.
Can't wait for the follow on

Michael Connelly's book "Black Ice" (the 2nd book he wrote) takes us back to Harry Bosch and his investigation of a suicide of a police officer. Bosch gets involved in the case since his supervisor knows Bosch can solve cases and the department needs to get some cases closed to make the politicians look good.

The plot gets more involved as Bosch finds himself dealing with Mexican authorities and the drug cartel in Mexico. It's a good read from one of the best mystery writers around these days. Not to "spoil" anyone's reading of the numerous books written by Connelly, but this book (Black Ice) and his latest book (The Lincoln Lawyer) have a connection which will surprise you.

If you haven't read anything by Michael Connelly it is time to do so!

Another great Parker book by connelly. A ture master of characters. I find myself waiting for Angel and Louis to come in and bring the havoc. Great read for any fan of the series.

Connelly never disappoints me. I have read every single Harry Bosch novel and each one has its own life, consequences and finish. The Burning Room seems more detailed than previous. And more connections, links, and eyebrow-raising moments. I love feeling the case(s) fit together and experiencing the pieces fit into place. Connelly's writing is excellent and I anxiously await Bosch's next adventure. Thank you, Mr. Connelly, for sharing your stories with me.

Michael Connelly is my favorite and he didn't let me down with The wrong side of goodbye. Right from page one to the end he keeps you interested and wanting more. Looking forward to his next Bosch novel
