"We get a bit more into Harry's backstory. Pacing is a bit slower and the bad guys strain believability a bit in this one, but Bosch doesn't fail to entertain."

"I'm loving this adventure. The fourth Harry Bosch audiobook is done. This is full of turmoil and chaos. Things aren't going well for Bosch, his house is condemned after the quake, he's on suspension and trouble has found him as he works solo on his mother's cold case. <br/><br/>Bosch seems to create a lot of problems. Like with his lieutenant. He just can't seem to stay cool and ignore the bad stuff. But hey, most of us can't either. But he also has a heart for the victims. In this book, his credo of "Everybody counts or nobody counts" plays a big part. To a lot of other people, his mother didn't count because of her profession. They let her case go. Let it slide. But Bosch was going to find justice for his mother. It just didn't end in the way he thought it would.<br/><br/>I'm loving these audiobooks. I'm finding more and more reasons to listen and since March is a very busy travel month for us, it has worked out perfectly. The sound of Dick Hill reading as Harry while walking around DC was amazing. And hopefully I'll be listening to the next one pool side in Arizona."
