5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, moving addition to series, 19 Feb 2004
By RachelWalker "RachelW" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Harry Bosch, now officially retired, has time on his hands. But, he still feels the pull of the job, and knows deep down that finding justice for the dead is, for him, not just a job, but a life. And so, he begins to look into a four year old unsolved case that has fallen by the investigatorial wayside, the vicious murder of Angella Benton, a film production assistant, killer just a few days before a daring $2million robbery on a movie set. Bosch gradually uncovers new information, throwing the case into an entirely different light, and finds that, even though he’s now left the LAPD, trouble still won’t leave him alone…

This is a tremendously successful Bosch novel from Connelly, surely the finest American exponent of the gritty cop thriller. It’s plot may not be entirely engrossing, but this book has so much in it about Bosch – no doubt helped by the fact that it’s told in the first person – that that doesn’t matter. Indeed, I don’t think Connelly has ever dug quite so deep, or shined his light quite so far into the mysterious dark cavern that is Harry Bosch, which makes this book a real delight for all fans of the series. To be honest, I feel that this book is primarily about Bosch, Bosch and Bosch (oh, and maybe L.A. too), so if you want a novel with a strong plot, maybe pass this by just for now. Although, I’d certainly recommend Lost Light to all those who are already fans. But, as the plot isn’t Connelly’s best (even though it does turn into something quite special at the books fascinating climax) those looking to just try the series out, should probably try an earlier one.

It’s fresh, it’s very well written, it’s engaging, and it even has another final page revelation to shock the reader, making this another gem among the treasure-trove that is Connelly’s work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to Put Down, Highly Recommend, 14 Feb 2004
By C. J. Hale "monkeysofdoom" (Swansea, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm not usually one for a crime novel, and after hearing good things, i gave this book a go. From the start you get pulled into the world and mind of Harry Bosch, and the mystery of his case unfolding.
The plot is based on an unsolved murder case which Bosch felt attached to and after retiring as a cop wants to complete it for peace of mind. However, the case is much deeper and dangerous than he thought!(dont want to give anything away!)
Great charectors, No cheesy bits, Fab ending, No need to skip a few pages when nothings going on in the book! My first encounter with Micheal Connelly and i hope to find another of his just as good as this. Even if crime novels arent your key passion you'll still get hooked on this.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the strongest books in the series; You can easily start with this one, 6 Jun 2006
Harry Bosch has always been on a mission: to speak for the dead, especially those who other people seem to forget about. Now retired from the LAPD, Harry can't forget about one case where the murdered woman's hands seemingly reach out to him. After investigating more, the mystery involves the heist of 2 million dollars from a Hollywood movie set, the shooting of two cops, and the disappearance of an FBI agent. Without his badge, Harry runs into the problems of most P.I.s--access to evidence and witnesses. The strongest part of the story is when Harry butts heads with an elite counter-terrorism unit of the FBI. Connelly's superior writing talent is on display in this book, where he seamlessly tells stories within the story to provide background for characters and add color to particular scenes. What I like most is the way Harry uses silence and draws out the information he wants from people. His indirect approach is clever and refreshing. My only criticism is that with the constant reminders of the victim's hands, the title doesn't seem apt.
