Quite obviously, there is a lot of fun to be had here, and I laughed many times as I was reading. Some of that came from Martin’s two sisters who show up in Frankie’s life. However, I found that this subplot didn’t quite develop in a satisfactory way. The mystery started out strongly and kept me engaged, but the ending was so rushed that some whys for a major part of the plot got overlooked. I did enjoy spending time with Frankie again and watching her growth. Fans of the series will enjoy this one, but it is a weaker entry in the series.

The book spends as little time as possible getting Bosch, and us, hooked on the case. And what a great case it was. While we have an idea of who early on, the why remains a big mystery until near the end. Meanwhile, we know the danger Bosch is in, and it makes for a great thriller. I enjoyed seeing Bosch and Haller working together again, and we see some others from their lives as well. As always, the foul content is higher than the books I typically read, but they are appropriate for the case. If you are looking for a book you won’t be able to put down, I highly recommend this one.
