Book Reviews of Lost Light (Harry Bosch, Bk 9)

Michael Connelly is an excellent writer and Harry Bosch is a wonderful character. This book takes him on his premiere post-police days adventure and sets the tone for books to come. Very good read.

You've gotta love Harry Bosch...even with all of his flaws. While Harry is retired from the LAPD, that doesn't stop him from investigating a crime that took place 4 years ago and a scene that has haunted his dreams. He incurs the wrath of the LAPD and the FBI when he starts snooping into the cold case files, but that makes him more determined to find the killer of Angela Benton and the thieves that took the 2 million dollars from the movie set where she worked.

Connelly is one of the finest authors working in the genre. This one is no disappointment. Don't miss reading the entire Bosch series!

The vision has haunted him for four years--a young woman lying crumpled in death, her hand outstretched in silent supplication. Harry Bosch was taken off the Angella Benton murder case when the production assistant's death was linked with the violent theft of two million dollars from a movie set. Both files were never closed. Now retired from the L.A.P.D., Bosch is determined to find justice for Angella. Without a badge to open doors and strike fear into the guilty, he's on his own. And even in the face of an opponent more powerful and ruthless that any he's ever encountered, Bosch is not backing down.

Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD but he can't get a four-year-old cold case out of his mind. The haunting memory of Angella Benton's murder drives him to take on one of the nastiest villains Connelly has created to date. And the final chapter (even if you've seen it coming) should be read with that box of tissues handy.

One of my favorite in the Harry Bosh series. The twists will surprise you all the way to the end.

Serious, somber and thrilling. One of my favorites by an author who never disappoints. Connelly somehow makes ocmplexity easy, building up his stories and unraveling them with twists and explanations that catch you off-guard.

4 stars out of 5

This book was better than just a guilty pleasure mystery read! I liked that the main character was realistically flawed. This was the first book by Michael Connelly that I had read.

Please note that this book was purchased from a public library sale, so there will be a few places in the book with the libraries stamp on it. Thanks.

Great read!

Good book.

Afer Bosch retires from the LAPD, he is determined to find the murder of Angella, a young women who's death had haunted for four years. ANd now, he has to face a opponent more powerful and ruthless then he's ever seen

Ninth of the Harry Bosch series by Connelly. More old favorites show up. Engaging read.

Another great book by Connelly. Again, the caveats: violence, foul language, maybe some sex. But again, beautiful, evocative writing and deep characterizations.

"Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels are the most impressive body of work by any writer of crime thrillers now alive." -- Washington Post

"The book against which every other title in the series -- and those yet to come -- will be measured." -- Chicago Sun-Times

Never a disappointment

Says the New Yorker - Michael Connelly is the most talented of crime writers.

Connelly is an excellent crime writer. This another Detective Harry Bosch mystery. What a great character.

I always enjoy the Harry Bosch books and this one is no exception. I enjoyed it a lot especially now that Harry is retired from the LAPD.

I would read any of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch books. Good reads all.

Michael Connelly is a master at mysteries and the Harry Bosch novels just keep getting better.

Harry Bosch is now retired from the LAPD, so he's on his own against an opponent more powerful and ruthless than any he's ever encountered.

Another good Harry Bosch novel.

At the end of CITY OF BONES Bosch quit the LAPD, but he's back in a new role, one that will give him more freedom to pursue the cases that compel him. When he left the LAPD Bosch took a file with him the case of a film production assistant murdered four years earlier during a USD 2 million robbery on a movie set. The LAPD now operating under post 9/11 rules think the stolen money was used to finance a terrorist training camp. Thoughts of the original murder victim are lost in the federal zeal, and when it seems the killer will be set free to aid the feds' terrorist hunt, Bosch quickly runs afoul of both his old colleagues and the FBI.

Another great Harry Bosch novel. Very almospheric.

Another great Harry Bosch story!!

When Harry Bosch retired, he was determind to solve the case he couldnot forget. Four years ago Angella Benten was murdered and the violent theft of two millon dollars from a movie set was somehow connected. This time, he will have work without a badge a gun and a backup.

Another GREAT Harry Bosch story by Michael Connelly, NY Times best seller.

As usual another great book from Michael Connelly.

Michael Connelly is a great author and this is another example of his work.

Fine mystery!!

Another great Harry Bosch adventure.

Really enjoyed reading this author, and looking for more.

This is the only Harry Bosch novel written in the first person (although there are several I've not read). Connelly should write more of these in the first, rather than second, person. This book, along with 'The Closers', is my favorite.

A crime thriller!

You can't miss with Michael Connely. His books are always tightly written, nicely plotted, with good characters. I am easily annoyed by mediocre writing, so when I can't take another mediocre book, I know I can depend on a Connelly novel.

Harry Bosch novel; one of Michael Connelly's best; I really liked it
