Harry Bosch is officially retired from the LAPD after having been forced out for (of course) political agendas. He’s not going out quietly and has hired brother Mickey Haller to represent him in his suit against the city. When Mickey asks him to serve as his investigator for a client he’s certain is innocent, obviously Harry is reluctant to play on the team for the “other side” but agrees to look into it for him. The more he probes, the more he’s convinced that Mickey’s client was set up to cove ...more

(4.5) Bosch & Haller (so Connelly really!) are truly in a league all their own! I came upon this book as #5.5 of the Haller series, as opposed to Bosch #18.. So as my first primarily Bosch book, it was a lot of fun getting such a huge glimpse in to his “style.” Still, I do I have to admit that although he is absolutely a class act, my favorite parts were unsurprisingly (to me anyway) Haller in the courtroom. That being said it was a smart, quick moving story, & I would LOVE another crossover!

The Crossing
4 Stars

Retired from the LAPD, Harry Bosch is asked by his half-brother, Mickey Haller, to help a client he believes has been set-up for murder. Crossing the aisle to aid the defense goes against all of Harry's instincts, but as he digs deeper, he exposes a hornet's nest of corruption and murder deep within the police department.

As the identity of the culprits is revealed at the start, the focus of the book revolves around Harry's following the clues to expose them and obtain justice ...more

When I saw that Harry was going to be basically a PI in this one, i was worried that it wasn’t going to be that good. I didn’t really like the last one where he was one. But this turned out to be one of the better ones, maybe even the most fun one. It was suspenseful in a way that others haven’t been because the author switched things up in a good way. While I am a fan of this series, not every book in it has been a winner for me but this definitely was.

I listened to this one and it was GREAT.

I like how Harry was conflicted on this one. Having to put aside the feeling for working for the enemy even though things didn't look as cut and dried at the beginning.

I can't wait to read the next in the series.

5 out of 5 stars. ...more
