Started great

The story just didn’t develop enough... each isse in the story was resolved easily and quickly... not enough depth

Not the best ...

I enjoyed the reading by Welliver and I enjoyed the interaction of Haller with Bosch. I also enjoyed the forward looking close. But it wasn't Bosch at his hard-hitting best. Next time.

An interesting concept of two story themes going on in this book so that was interesting. Now, the narration, I ADORE Titus Welliver's portrayal of Bosch in the terrific TV series, however, as a reader, he leaves a lot to be desired. He makes no attempt to differentiate characters with his voice, which sometimes has me rewinding so I could determine who was speaking. The majority of the dialog is the Bosch character, so it's not a terrible performance. I guess if you're a crazy old lady who has not read a book the "old-fashioned" way since 1993 when I heard my first unabridged audio book [Grisham's The Client] the narration all might not be terribly important as it can be when a little miracle happens when the perfect Mook meets the perfect narrator, then it's simply Bliss. George Guidall and The Cat Who series and Jim Dale and the hundreds of characters in the Harry Potter series are two examples that come to mind.

This book is fine. Michael Connolly is a splendid writer -- I am extremely fond of the Bosch TV series -- hurry up and make more, please. Titus Welliver "is" Bosch!.

mr Connelly at his best...compelling

Would you listen to The Wrong Side of Goodbye again? Why?

well plotted, great characters, and well read...Welliver reads servicably...not the same as Hill or other prior readers in series, but fine.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

the plot was as good as the strongest Bosch pieces, with good usage of Haller,including the Closers, Concrete Blond, Angels Flight, Nine Dragons.

Which character – as performed by Titus Welliver – was your favorite?

Bosch, the Chief, and the female detective were very good....and i liked the heiress

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no extreme reaction, but the read was well worth it.

Any additional comments?

the character development police work and focus on small hispanic department was excellent...no more chief irving is a good thing....

So Very Good

Connelly always writes a compelling mystery with believable characters that I love and understand. Add Welliver's narration and it's a swing for the fence every time. And thank you, Michael, for giving us more with Haller and Bosch together. I love, love, love that relationship.

Good but short

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It’s so sad to see the books in this series are getting shorter but the price stays the same. Maybe offer 2 for 1? I’m afraid I will not be able to afford this treat much longer.

Loved it!

another great Harry Bosch Audible book! Titus Welliver narration was a plus, definitely recommended for any fan of Connelly's work.

Another home run for Connelly & Bosch

Welliver's narration and Connelly's story combine in a compelling story sure to keep you up well past your bed time

Beyond five stars! It brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart.

Please tell the author and narrative and narrators the were on top of the game in all respects.
