Book Description:
The Dollmaker was the name of the serial killer who had stalked Los Angeles ruthlessly, leaving grisly calling cards on the faces of his female victims. Now with a single faultless shot, Detective Harry Bosch thinks he has ended the city's nightmare.
But the dead man's widow is suing Harry and the LAPD for killing the wrong man-- an accusation that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature.
So for the second time, Harry must hunt down a death-dealer who is very much alive, before he strikes again. It's a blood-tracked quest that will take Harry from the hard edges of the L.A. night to the last place he ever wanted to go-- the darkness of his own heart.
With The Concrete Blonde, Edgar Award-winning author Michael Connelly has hit a whole new level in his career, creating a breathtaking thriller that thrusts you into a blistering courtroom battle-- and a desperate search for a sadistic killer.

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.

An enjoyable and worthwhile 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.
3.5 stars out of 5

Ceylan G. (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!!!
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.....
"Masterfully entertaining...Builds suspense surely and steadily, springing more than one or two surprises. Delivers on every level." Houston Chronicle
I am just starting the Harry Bosch series. This is the third. Good read.
Cheryl (Toni) J. (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.
