About this listen

When an LAPD narcotics officer is found with a fatal bullet wound and a suicide note, Detective Harry Bosch follows a bloody trail of drug murders across the Mexico border.

Working on the case, LAPD detective Harry Bosch is reminded of the primal police rule he learned long ago: Don't look for the facts, but the glue that holds them together. Soon Harry's making some very dangerous connections, starting with a dead cop and leading to a bloody string of murders that wind from Hollywood Boulevard to the back alleys south of the border. Now this battle-scarred veteran will find himself in the center of a complex and deadly game - one in which he may be the next and likeliest victim.

great story. Michael Connelly never fails to keep his listeners (readers) entertained. A continuation of The Black Echo. Harry Bosch is so intriguing and I still feel I dont know everything about him. he is a mystery that seems to unfold slowly through the series.

wonderful second in the series

The tone of this book is dark and heavy. It is very hard to put down, it might be the best Bosh story yet! And the performance is amazing! The reader puts a lot of character into his lines, it is very easy to picture who is talking and the acting helps you see the action as in a movie. Definitely recommended!

Amazing performance

A great second story to the Bosch series (I am coming late to these books). Connelly has an excellent grasp of the LAPD workings and weaves believable tales. Black Ice ends with a nice, somewhat unexpected twist. I will certainly move to Concrete Blonde, the third Bosch book. As with the first book, The Black Echo DickHill does an excellent narration.

Very good!

Loved it!

LAPD Detective Heironymous Bosch is a most interesting character. Hard-bitten and jaded, he still dedicates himself wholeheartedly to solving crimes with empathetic motivation, dogged determination, and impressive intuition. By this point in the series, he still sees the world in stark Black & White terms (he becomes a much more complex character in later books), but this is still an excellent mystery.
It begins with the suicide of an LA Vice Cop who leaves behind an intriguing note: "I found out who I was".. and evolves into an exploration of potentially dirty cops involved in the drug trade from Hawaii & Mexico.
The writing is typical for Michael Connelly: gritty, descriptive, and well-crafted. Connelly develops a captivating plot, very quickly immerses his readers in the investigation, and then throws some action and twists & turns at them.

Dick Hill turns in an impressive performance in this episode. Character voices sound remarkably lifelike (he appropriately and realistically sighs, "Umm.."s & stammers), he largely avoids ill-considered accents, and his injudicious use of voice modulation effects for over-the-telephone dialogue is more limited than in other recordings. This is one of the better readings I have heard from Mr. Hill.

'The Black Ice' doesn't have the same impact of other installments in the 'Harry Bosch' series, but it's a tremendous Mystery-Thriller performed well. I rate this recording 9 stars out of 10.

Superior Crime-Thriller

Harry is a flawed hero who still has an unshakeable moral compass.
This was a riveting story that was filled with with descriptive detail that was extraordinarily accurate.
I’ve actually been to the border and can relate to everything that Harry was seeing as he cross the border.
Even though I have come to expect a twist in the plot from Michael Connelly, I was still surprised in the final pages.
An absolute must read I can’t wait for the next addition
