Harry Bosch is on trial for killing an unarmed man believed to be a serial killer. However, a new body has been found and Harry is starting to believe that maybe he did kill an innocent man. This book jumps back and forth between the trial and the murder investigation. An awful lot of tedious court room drama and some exciting police work balance out this story. Another great Bosch tale.

Captivating as all of Connelly's books are. However, I've determined that it helps to read his novels in chronological order because he almost always refers back to a previous plot.

All Harry Bosch books are great. I now have my Hubby hooked after only one. Great Read!

A nice blend of courtroom and whodunit mystery. Plenty of twists - some of which you can see a mile away and some of which catch you by surprise.

Great book. Fun Read. Author has his usual ability to bring Life to the people in the story.
This book had me guessing. I liked this one better than the previous two.

My favorite Bosch novel so far! Harry Bosch is on trial for the murder of Norman Church, the serial killer nicknamed The Dollmaker. However, police discover a prostitute that was murdered in the same manner as those in The Dollmaker's case. Is there a copy cat on the loose or is the killer still on the loose?? Page turner!!!
Love Michael Connelly's style of writing.
Great book
This is a great Detective Harry Bosch book. The Dollmaker was a ruthless serial killer and now there is a question as to who did all of the killings.
The called him the Dollmaker...The serial killer who stalked Los Angeles and left a grisly calling card on the faces of his female victims. WIth a single faultless short, Detective Harry Bosch thought he had ended the city's nightmare. Now, the dead man's widow is suing Harry for killing the wrong man - an accusation that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature.....

I am just starting the Harry Bosch series. This is the third. Good read.
Connelly's best novel -- 2nd to the Poet.
Another great Harry Bosch book!
I love Michael Connelly's books, especially when Harry Bosch is involved. He lives on the edge and fears nothing. This book keeps you guessing and delivers in the end.
One of the best Connelly thriller's I have read.
Another great Michael Connelly book. This is a great page-turner for the beach or anywhere else.
The back of the book reads: The serial killer who stalked Los Angeles and left a grisly calling card on the faces of his female victims. With a single, faultless shot, Detective Harry Bosch thought he has ended the city's nightmare. Now, the dead man's window is suing for killing the wrong man, which rings true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature. Now, Harry must hunt down a death-dealer who is very much alive, before he strikes again.
I love Michael Connelly. No other author makes me care more about what happens to the characters. I'm reading the Harry Bosch books in order, so this was my third. They're all great, but this is the best so far. In my own writing, Connelly is one of those I strive to emulate. I can't emphasize enough just how good he is.
The Dollmaker, a serial killer terrorizing L.A., left a calling card on the faces of his female victims. With one shot, Det. Harry Bosch thought he had ended the city's nighmare. He was wrong. A new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature. For the second time, Harry must hunt down a killer who is very much alive, before he strikes again.
Good read
great
Harry Bosch is on the trail of a serial killer who stalks Losa Angeles, and is supposed to be dead already! Now he must track down the killer a second time. One of the really good Connelly books in the Bosch series, a gritty and realistic portrail of LA and cop work.

This was an excellent read-couldn't put it down! Has a few twists and turns for Harry Bosch this time!
Good book. I would recommend.
