Reviews

"Nine Dragons is a very good crime thriller."--Philadelphia Inquirer

"A Michael Connelly novel is a thing of cool beauty, meticulously plotted, rigorously controlled."
--Chicago Tribune

"Harry Bosch [is] Connelly's usual hero and one of the great figures in contemporary crime fiction."--Los Angeles Times

"If at first encounter Connelly seems primarily an exceptionally accomplished writer of crime novels, at closer examination he is also a mordant and knowing chronicler of the world in which crime takes place, i.e., our world."--Washington Post

"Scary, shocking and sublimely suspenseful."--New York Daily News

"The Bosch revealed in Nine Dragons is vulnerable, a twist that makes him both deeper and more human...What remains most interesting is the new dimension added to the character - a man who has evolved over the series of 15 novels to become ever more interesting and real."
--Denver Post

"Though Connelly remains a master at detailing the intricacies of 'the job, ' it is Harry's longing for reunion and connection with his ex-wife and daughter, the overwhelming vulnerability he feels as a father, that makes Nine Dragons another standout in the series that should satisfy all readers, whether they are new to Boschworld, occasional visitors or devoted denizens."
--Los Angeles Times

"With Nine Dragons, Connelly has taken a chance by transforming a character millions have come to know well. In doing so, he has made Harry Bosch more human and interesting than ever."
--San Francisco Examiner
