Detective Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD, but his half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, needs his help. The murder rap against his client seems ironclad, but Mickey is sure it's a setup. Though it goes against all his instincts, Bosch takes the case. With the secret help of his former LAPD partner, Lucia Soto, he turns the investigation inside the police department. But as Bosch gets closer to discovering the truth, he makes himself a target.

Harry Bosch at his best
Revisado: 05-17-18
New storyline. The reader doesn't know where it may lead. Great character development. Not your usual antagonists. Yet, you are given hints from the beginning as to who the bad guys are and what they are doing as Bosch tries to do his job in unraveling the clues from the Murder Book.

Dead Zone it isn't.
Revisado: 11-14-16
Good performance, somewhat imaginative, but story just isn't believable. Usually I don't care for women narrators. However she was able to speak and give varied tones so the audio was easy to listen to.

Ready for Gruesome and Depressing Stories? Listen
Revisado: 08-06-15
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Would not recommend. I have always enjoyed the short story genre, but I found the stories incredibly depressing and gruesome. I have read a lot of murder mysteries and detective stories, but the main characters in almost all of these vignettes were pretty loathesome and depraved. It was difficult for me to listen to the unfolding of these events in the stories, as I couldn't find something to care about the people. A few were far better than others, but most followed the same storie-line of a life unraveling in an extremely sad manner.
I like to listen to Audible when I am going to sleep. None of these qualified as Bedtime Stories!
The dramatists read well, but the editor failed to give a longer pause between stories. One needs a moment to reflect at the end of a short story before leaping into the next one.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I just downloaded a couple of Audible's Hidden Gems for $3.95. Discovered an old Phillip Marlowe mystery from the 40s and one newer romantic story from this decade.
Could you see Mystery Writers of America Presents Vengeance being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No. Too many stories.

An original story spoken with vitality and variety
Revisado: 04-21-14
Where does The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the top. Compelling story and Simon Vance captures the essence of the various characters' voices. Essential to understanding the story with so many conversations. Great listening,
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?
Too many. Don't want to give away anything. But when the main characters were in peril, the reader was right there with them!
Which character – as performed by Simon Vance – was your favorite?
He did an excellent job with the female lead, Lisbeth Salandar.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Too many to name.
Any additional comments?
I had seen the movie several years ago, but was compelled to listen as if I didn't know the story at all. I've listened to many books when I used to commute to work. Some would put me to sleep! This one kept me awake!
