Summary
A CRIME BURIED FOR YEARS.
AND ONE THAT'S JUST BEGUN...
A MURDER YEARS IN THE MAKING
A murder in the middle of a street party seems a senseless tragedy. But the victim had a dark past which came back to haunt him.
THE DEEPER YOU LOOK
Detective Renée Ballard connects the killing to an unsolved case last worked by ex-LAPD legend Harry Bosch. But then a new crime shatters the night shift...
THE DARKER IT GETS
The Midnight Men are a deadly pair of predators who stalk the city during the dark hours and disappear without a trace.
Ballard once believed her job was to bring the truth to light. In a police department shaken to the core by protests and pandemic, both cases have the power to save her—or end her...

Only downside
The only thing I did not enjoy was the music between some of the chapters.

Good but Titus was a spare part
This is a reasonable Connelly work but since it is 99% the female character, couldn't the female reader have voiced Bosch as well. It seemed a bit silly to employ the vocal talent of the screen actor for such a small number of contributions.

Enjoyable LAP story
Easy listening with The reader expressive tones keeping you on track and engaged. Bosch character readings familiar to tv series.

Enjoyable improvement of series
I almost didn't buy this because I didn't think the other Ballard books were that good but I really enjoyed this. The Ballard character has improved a lot and at last has stopped the ridiculous living in a tent thing. Bosch could maybe have been given more of a role, and Titus Welliver's narration was a bit disappointing, sounded just like he was prodded into reading his lines every so often. Overall very enjoyable and quick listen.

Great listen
A good story like all Michael Connelly Bosch stories.
Nicely narrated and characterised. Nice touch with Titus Welliver doing the Bosch bits.

Ballard and Bosch
Ballard and Bosch joining forces. It was a good story and can’t wait to listen to their 3rd together.

The charecterisation and Titus W.
Great novelisation and dialogue. Listening to a well written police procedural is always a joy. Good addition to the series.
