When one of Bosch's cold cases interests Ballard, they become a team.

This was a study in contrasts between Bosch and Ballard, and it was interesting how differently they would view the same thing. The book is arranged in small groups of chapters alternating between Bosch and Ballard’s viewpoints. The…

The 2018 Ballard and Bosch novel, their first case together
Sep 10, 2020
I am liking the Renee Ballard stories and this one was neat because they brought Harry Bosch into it. I liked the way the two of them worked together to solve the cold case. Michael Connelly's books are thrilling and suspenseful.

This was a story with Bosch and Ballard managing their own cases but coming together on their own time to work on a cold case. I enjoy these two characters and I hope Michael Connelly writes more with them together.

Not Connelly's best effort. Too confusing to follow the several story lines. But still enjoyable.

RATING: 4.5 RATING 2018; Little, Brown and Company/Hachette Book Group (Review Not on Blog) Woot woot, Bosch and Ballard together in a book! Renee Ballard is basically as female Harry Bosch for justice - everyone counts or no one…

The addition of Renne Ballard's style of detective work to Harry Bosch's style is an interesting and refreshing perspective on the Bosch universe. I look forward to the next mystery.

Not one of Connelly's best efforts as he has a tough time delivering the story with any fluidity. He may just be stale or running low on ideas. A disappointing read from an usually strong author.

I think Bosh & Ballard getting together is a good idea. They both had each others backs & lets face it they haven't had that before in their separate lives. They both have a fierce loyalty so that will help them work together. They…

Solidly written but an unexceptional addition to the Connelly library, this novel will satisfy fans (perhaps), might frustrate the Ballard-group and the Bosch-group, and will likely do little to convince the occasional reader to make…

Leaving the library with a Michael Connelly book is like leaving with a box of See's Candy: you can't wait to get home a open it up. This one does not disaappoint. Although they all stand alone, it is best to read the series from the…

Great, fast paced story telling with high quality writing that I've come to expect from Connelly. Looking forward to more Bosch and Ballard books!

liked the first 'Ballard' book, "The Late Show"... and I have read 7 or 8 Harry Bosch books. Bringing these two characters together in this novel made the story convoluted and way too meandering for me. Full disclosure: I read to page 230

Seems to me that Connelly has drifted away over time from constructing interesting cases and is now really writing predominantly about the characters he has created. He has always done great characterizations but now the cases/plots seem…

Dark Sacred Night started a bit slow for me. Usually with a Bosch book I'm drawn in so much/so fast that I can't put it down. It makes me sad that Harry is getting older and the police force no longer values what he has to offer. That…

I've read all of his books and love the fact that they are interesting from start to finish. I really enjoyed this read but my absolute favourites are the Mickey Haller series. It sounds like the author is about to retire Bosch because…

I have read all of Connelly's books, most of them more than once. I have to say I am very disappointed by this latest effort. Tedious and boring describes it best. Is Connelly trying to retire Harry , phase him out and concentrate on a…

Connelly teams up a demoted female LA police officer with Bosch. Together they tackle a cold case by going through the files to find new information on the death of a youngster living on the streets doing drugs and selling herself. The…

Is Bosch finding a new partner for his sleuthing? I hope so. We’ve met Renee Ballard in earlier books, but now she plays a key role in finding the killer of a young prostitute. Good old fashioned detective work makes the case work. It…
