Recensione

Michael Connelly writes assured, well-plotted mysteries that hit all the right buttons ... CITY OF BONES is altogether a good, fast-paced, ingeniously plotted read (OBSERVER)

One of Connelly's best books ... Characterisation sharp enough to draw blood; excitements of the heart and mind; crime fiction at its aching, impeccable best (LITERARY REVIEW)

A stunningly good novel: powerful, intriguing and impossible to lay down - perhaps, indeed, the best of the series (EVENING STANDARD)

Slick plotting, far-from-gratuitous thrills, a breakneck pace and superb characteisation have always typified Michael Connelly's novels about the dark side of California. CITY OF BONES, which sees the return of Detective Harry Bosch, proves no exception (GUARDIAN)

[A] taut thriller from the award-winning author ... It's realistic, riveting and first-rate (HELLO)

A remarkable achievement: a page-turning thriller that rejects easy answers or feelgood endings, a crime novel which points out that solving a crime does not in itself even begin to set the world to rights (MAIL ON SUNDAY)

Packed with Connelly's memorable twists and turns ... emotionally wrenching, yet never lacking the compassion that Bosch has come to symbolise, CITY OF BONES will delight Connelly's millions of fans and should - if there is any justice in the world (which Bosch doubts) - win him a great many more (DAILY MAIL)

Connelly is, in my view, simply the best crime thriller writing working today and in CITY OF BONES he is on top form (MAIL ON SUNDAY)

Michael Connelly just has to be the best writer of crime fiction about at the moment (IRISH TIMES)
