As ever in Michael Connelly's work, Los Angeles - a city in which
'no matter how close it something looked, it was still far away' -
is a character in its own right. And the jazz soundtrack -
'plaintive and sad but ... with an undeniable underlying hope' -
makes The Burning Room a superb swansong.
*EVENING STANDARD*
It's a good story, but crucially The Burning Room shows Bosch on
top form, his age no impediment to his stubbornness nor his
professional insights
*THE TIMES*
what Connelly delivers here - as ever - is a slice of classy,
clever, page-turning stuff, as Bosch and his excellent new sidekick
trace the shadows of years-old crimes whose tendrils stretch
through the echelons of LA society and across the sprawl of its
geography. The detective is described by his boss - 'the one that
knows the most in the troop. Has all the experience.' Connelly,
too, is a pair of eminently safe hands, and The Burning Room is a
pleasure to read.
*THE OBSERVER*
Connelly weaves his story as deftly as always, never slackening the
tension
*DAILY EXPRESS*
Connelly has lost none of his fire, nor his desire to take his
readers by the throat and never let them go
*DAILY MAIL*
a master of narrative tension, complex but believable plotting and
three-dimensional characters ... his latest novel maintains the
same high standard and relentless impetus that keeps one turning
the pages.
*THE SPECTATOR*
a taut and believable tale set in a grimly recognisable world where
those at the top - be they career politicians or career criminals -
share a disregard for the lives of those they exploit.
*MAIL ON SUNDAY EVENT MAGAZINE*
A master at construction, Connelly finds a way to link the two
cases, which burrow deep into Los Angeles's Latino community. As
often happens in Connelly's police procedurals, Bosch's
meticulously built case is undermined by political corruption in
high places, leaving him 'suddenly sick to death of
everything'.
