So begins the most deeply compelling, frightening, and masterful novel Michael Connelly has ever written. The Narrows places Harry Bosch in league with Rachel Walling, at odds with the FBI, and squarely in the path of the most ruthless and ingenious murderer in Los Angeles's history. What follows is a taut and tantalizing mystery that has Harry Bosch racing from the hostile vistas of the Nevada desert to the glittering Las Vegas Strip to the dark corners of Los Angeles.
Through it all, Bosch works at his newfound life as father to a young daughter, balancing the deepest love he has ever felt with his own sense of mission and his deep awareness of evil.

Mmm, Harry Bosch briljerar igen. Lite annorlunda i den mening att han "samarbetar" med en FBI-agent i denna. Gillar verkligen den här typen av deckare!
Tyvärr tyvärr. La ifrån mig den här efter ungefär 200 sidor. Inte jättedålig (därav ändå en tvåa i betyg), lyckades bara inte engagera mig. Liksom förra Connellyn jag läste låter han läsaren veta mer än mordutredarna. Jag tycker han driver det för långt här, vilket bidrog till att jag ledsnade. Det tar 180 sidor innan utredarna vet det man själv känt till sedan länge. Hinner bli tråkigt istället för att vara spänningsökande. Tyckte också det blev lite pinsamt när det skulle antydas romantik i luften mellan Bosch och Welling (vilket med all säkerhet blommar ut mot slutet). Säkerligen kan det räddas upp en del i slutet av boken, vad vet jag. Men numer lägger jag ofta ifrån mig böcker som jag inte tycker är bra halvvägs. Det här var en sådan gång.
