"....another masterful Michael Connelly mystery...highly
recommended."
--Maureen McCarthy, Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"....it is immensely satisfying to see Bosch's sustained and
deepened passion for his mission- "Everybody count or nobody
counts" - undiminished by age or circumstance, even as a younger
generation of detectives of all colors and orientations share the
stage to carry on the work that has given Bosch, and this series,
such an enduring appeal. Harry Bosch and his law enforcement heirs
are still fighting the good fight, luckily, for us all."
--Paula L. Woods, Los Angeles Times
"....lots of surprises and surprise endings. Bosch's legion of
readers will come away entertained - and gratified that in his
acknowledgments, Connelly all but promises yet another Bosch
tale."--Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Bosch at his best."
--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"Bosch fans will rejoice at the pluperfect ending."
--Tim O'Connell, Florida Times-Union
"Connelly continues to discover new depths to his character and new
stories to tell that reveal those depths in always compelling ways.
Hats off one more time to a landmark crime series."--Bill Ott,
Booklist (starred review)
"Connelly has created in Bosch one of the great characters in
contemporary crime fiction."--Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
"If any novelist is worthy to walk once more through the front door
of Raymond Chandler's iconic Sternwood mansion, it's Michael
Connelly. For over two decades, Connelly has been brilliantly
updating and enlarging the possibilities of the classic L.A.
hard-boiled novel, first bestowed upon the world in 1939 with
Chandler's debut, The Big Sleep. This latest Bosch outing is its
own accomplishment: brooding and intricate, suspenseful and sad. In
short, it's another terrific Michael Connelly mystery....a master
of the genre."
--Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post
"In each novel, Connelly has dug deeper into Harry's psyche, as he
skillfully does in The Wrong Side of Goodbye....Connelly's melding
of the police procedural, private detective novel and intense
character study remains solid. Harry isn't with the LAPD anymore,
but readers will be glad to know he is still on the job."--Oline H.
Cogdill, South Florida Sun Sentinel
"Irresistible...Connelly nods to his early inspiration Raymond
Chandler while strengthening his own claim to the mystery writers'
pantheon."--Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
"It is a disturbing and yet cathartic tale-within-a-tale that
proves once again what a master storyteller Connelly is."
--Bruce Tierney, BookPage
"It is impossible for Connelly to tell a bad story. Moving
effortlessly between Bosch's private and public cases, he ratchets
up the tension...pulling off in the final few chapters a California
noir sleight of hand that would make Ross Macdonald envious."
--Robert Anglen, The Arizona Republic
"Michael Connelly is the master of the universe in which he lives,
and that is the sphere of crime thrillers. This man is so good at
what he does.... THE WRONG SIDE OF GOODBYE is the twenty first
Harry Bosch story and it is just as good or better than the first
one was. Nobody writes like Connelly, nobody. He is unique in his
style and also in the character of Harry Bosch he has created. If
you read one page about Harry Bosch as written by Michael Connelly
you will be hooked for life."
--Jackie K. Cooper, Huffington Post
"Michael Connelly writes with a seamless unity of tone and pace
that makes reading his crime novels absolutely effortless and
totally engaging...his narrative rolls out in a perfect parade of
action, memory, emotion, color and tension."
--Margie Romero, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Swift, unpredictable, and thrilling."
--Bookreporter
"This is an excellent police procedural crime novel, one of
Connelly's best; it's full of well-developed characters, taut
situations and vivid descriptions."
--Ray Walsh, Lansing State Journal
Praise for The Wrong Side of Goodbye: "....a powerful,
Macdonald-esque meditation on the claims the past exerts on the
present. Few mystery novelists make background facts and simple
descriptions sing the way this writer does. And no writer exploits
Los Angeles - its geography, its historical power wars, its
celebrity culture, its lore - as compellingly as Connelly....he
must be read."
--Lloyd Sachs, Chicago Tribune
