Narrator Titus Welliver’s strong, deep voice carries the plot as Connelly’s two great protagonists…team up. Connelly displays his usual encyclopedic knowledge of California criminal procedure and Los Angeles geography in another gripping thriller. The villains are horrifying, the murders are kinky, and the courtroom scenes are beautifully rendered. Welliver’s pace is consistent and easy to follow. He talks like a tough guy without being a caricature…A solid performance.”
Library Journal (audio review)
Titus Welliver does an excellent job narrating. His crisp reading is fast paced and keeps the listener engaged. He brings out Harry Bosch’s laidback personality and his thoughtful analysis of the facts.”
