À propos de cet audio

In this instant New York Times bestseller, LAPD Detective Renée Ballard tracks a serial rapist whose trail has gone cold and enlists a new volunteer to the Open-Unsolved Unit: patrol officer Maddie Bosch, Harry’s daughter. ​

Renée Ballard and the LAPD’s Open-Unsolved Unit get a hot shot DNA connection between a recently arrested man and a serial rapist and murderer who went quiet twenty years ago. The arrested man is only twenty-four, so the genetic link must be familial: His father was the Pillowcase Rapist, responsible for a five-year reign of terror in the city of angels. But when Ballard and her team move in on their suspect, they encounter a baffling web of secrets and legal hurdles.
Meanwhile, Ballard’s badge, gun, and ID are stolen—a theft she can’t report without giving her enemies in the department ammunition to end her career as a detective. She works the burglary alone, but her mission draws her into unexpected danger. With no choice but to go outside the department for help, she knocks on the door of Harry Bosch.

At the same time, Ballard takes on a new volunteer to the cold case unit: Bosch’s daughter Maddie, now a patrol officer. But Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city’s library of lost souls—a case that may be the most iconic in the city’s history. Complex, satisfying, and full of dexterous twists, The Waiting demonstrates once more that “you can’t do better than Michael Connelly” (Forbes).

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A Hawaiian coda provides the best news of all: This distinguished series has plenty of miles to go. Aloha, and hooray.”—Kirkus Reviews
Three talented narrators bring to life the sixth installment of this series featuring LAPD detectives Renée Ballard, who leads the new Cold Case Unit, and Harry Bosch, retired. Christine Lakin returns to masterfully capture Ballard's on-the-job rebelliousness and struggles relating to her missing mother. Listeners also reconnect with Bosch's daughter, Maddie, now a patrol officer, whose youthful intensity is brought to life by Madison Lintz. Maddie stumbles upon potential evidence in an infamous 70-year-old cold case and eagerly volunteers to work in Ballard's unit. In a brief but satisfying appearance, Titus Welliver voices Bosch, who is summoned by Ballard to help with a personal matter that escalates into a major case. With its multiple plotlines--ranging from cold cases to a terrorist plot--this production offers nonstop entertainment. E.Q.

Michael Connelly' Bosch and then Bosch and Ballard series are by far my favourite; the stories, plot, action, are so engrossing and captivating. The narration brings it all home!
Titus Welliver was one of my favourite Audible narrators, but Kristen Laken, just as Ballard, is a worthy successor!

Story and Narrator are among the absolute best!

I have had a bit of a dry spell listening to formulaic mysteries and also some lighter fare and needed a smart suspense novel that kept me interested. This is definitely it. It adds to the multifaceted story that current events are lightly woven into it and that the women protagonists know how to deftly sidestep the still ever present misogyny they have to factor into their work. Never mind, it's a really great story, so well told and the suspense is unrelenting. The one thing I personally don't like in any audio book is the elevator music that plays for each beginning chapter. But that's a pet peeve that in no way reflects on the story or the excellent performance in this book.

Loved every minute of it
