About this listen

Harry Bosch finds himself yet again in charge of a case that no one else will touch. This time his job is to nail the killer of hot shot black lawyer Howard Elias. Elias has been found murdered on the eve of going to court on behalf of Michael Harris, a man the LAPD believes guilty of the rape and murder of a twelve-year-old girl.

Elias had let it be known that the aim of his civil case was not only to reveal the real killer but to target and bring down the racist cops who beat up his client during a violent interrogation. Now it's all down to Bosch - and he's got to take a long, hard look at some of his colleagues in a police department that is rife with suspicion and hatred.

Enjoyable

I enjoy the Harry Bosch novels as a bit of mindless entertainment and have listened to many of the novels on audible. The narration of the older books by Dick Hill is infinitely better - so much more subtly and personality conveyed. This narrater appears to be going for a edgy, gritty approach in fact just comes across as flat and makes it hard to connect to the characters. The book itself is another entertaining, slightly cliched but fast paced story, worth a listen, but the narration is poor.

Shame about narration

as per Bosch is the worst/best detective ever but now more conflicted than ever with his case. this one takes some characters and turns them on their head. very good.

New voice same bosch

Listened to the book, watched the TV and then the book again. TV was far better as the book left it hanging and I struggled with the narrator who read it angry and over stressed the exchanges. Still a good listen though and I recommend it.

Second time round

Going through the Bosch series and favourite of the lot so far.
Left feeling as the same emotions as the character so looking forward to the next instalment :)

Excellent

It took a little while to get used to the new narrator as the man who had done the first five books in the series it was very very good. As for the story it was pretty decent summer unsatisfying ending with one or two loose ends we tied up. Im not going to spoil it but i feel as if there was one more chapter needed to right some wrongs but i suppose not all stories need a neat little bow.

Pretty decent

What made the experience of listening to Angels Flight the most enjoyable?

The complex and twisting plot was very good. If Dick Hill had still been the narrator, I would have probably listened to this in 2 or 3 days. However, Peter Giles is not a superb narrator, his voice and style are irritating

How did the narrator detract from the book?

His voice, style and presentation are pretentious and unnecessarily gruff. He is unable to vary his pitch enough to accommodate female characters. Bring back Dick Hill, who has a stunning ability to tell a good story.

I honestly don't know if I can stand another book narrated by Giles.

Very disappointed with Peter Giles as a narrator

The story seemed a bit slow to start off but picked up the pace along the line. A very good listen.

Michael Connelly never fails to entertain

Enjoyed this but it's not quite as good as some of the previous bokks. Don't let that out you off though, it's fanatically written and well narrated

Another very good book
