About this listen

In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet nine years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any other evidence is virtually nonexistent.

Now Bosch and his new partner, rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Starting with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information, which soon reveals that this shooting may have been anything but random.

Read by Titus Welliver, star of the Bosch TV series.

I thought that I was going to dislike this audiobook. Not because of the story, but because it wouldn't have been narrated by the 'real' Bosch… I'd grown to love his distinctive gravelly voice. However, apparently it's narrated by the TV Bosch, and it's not too bad.

The story, of course, is brilliant! But I do hope that it's not the last…

Enjoy!

Another Great Bosch Novel - I really hope that it's not the last!

Excellent writing as always, Titus Welliver's narration is brilliant, he's one of the best narrators; amazing voice. Having seen him playing Bosch in the TV series, he is the perfect choice for narrator, he really inhabits the character.

Brilliant story as always

What made the experience of listening to The Burning Room the most enjoyable?

As the years have gone by, Harry's mellowed a tiny amount. The story lines are just as good, but not so forceful or violent, in keeping with the age thing. Whilst I enjoyed Titus Welliver, who will make a fine on screen Harry, he doesn't 'do' other character voice changes, which makes some of the dialogue difficult to follow.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Different character voices rather than the same for all.

Harry's getting old!

I did slow down Titus narration to suit previous books and tone, but brillant. Never a bad book by Connelly, titi will find his tone in the narration I'm sure.

Another classic bosch,

The “real” Bosch narrating made a great story an amazing one. There are insufficient superlatives to critique the master of this genre, and his standards never slip.

Great to have Titus back !

Story definition

A book by the numbers and delivered in the same way, minutia of details and a sterile environment makes this book cold and almost sad, Boch as untrusting teacher, and a willing pupil. Is this Boch legacy? Is this his last case? No redemption among angels?

Procedural of procedurals

An exceptional story fashioned to keep you compelled to continue listening right to the final climax.A must read for all Connelly.followers,in some ways

What other book might you compare The Burning Room to, and why?

Very similar to the Black Ice story and, just as compelling.

Another BOX Office Hit for Connally
