This story is very interesting. However there is too much lag time... I kept thinking Get to the action already! But the author seems intent on telling us the main characters every thought and feeling. If the story had moved at a quicker pace with less filling I would have given it 4 starts. Im going to try another book in the series to see if the action picks up, if not Ill abandon this series.

Bosch unerring ear for truth and danger sees him caught up......more

4.5/5 Estrellas. Segunda zambullida en el Universo Harry Bosch y ha sido una inmersión total, me ha durado menos de tres días. Voy a intentar ser conciso: -¿Donde se sitúa la acción?: Hollywood (Los Ángeles-California) y las ciudades gemelas de Calexico (EEUU) y Mexicali (México) en la frontera de USA......more
