Reviews

"The Burning Room offers a nuanced, nicely-honed performance from Connelly."--Daneet Steffens, Boston Globe

"[Connelly is] a master at construction."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review

"A doozy of a tale . . . As long as Harry always remains patrolling on the margins of this series, its greatness is secure."--Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post

"A searing success . . . The Burning Room is a terrifically satisfying trip."--Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times

"As always, Connelly pulls off a fast-paced, well-drawn police procedural. . . . Consistently entertaining . . . The Burning Room will more than satisfy his fans. . . . Bosch may be up for retirement soon, but I doubt anyone would complain if he did his thing for another 20 years."--Steph Cha, Los Angeles Times

"Connelly has the magic touch. . . . Connelly is one of the best crime writers in the business, and he continues to tell compelling character-driven tales."--Jeff Ayers, Associated Press

"Excellent . . . The Burning Room excels as a look at how power, prestige and the media can override the best intentions."--Oline Cogdill, South Florida Sun-Sentinel

"Michael Connelly has yet another winner. . . . Let's hope [Bosch] sticks around for one more book."--Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Superb . . . Bosch shows himself once again to be the master and if he follows through on the retirement, his absence would leave an irreplaceable gap in crime fiction."--Jack Batten, Toronto Star

"The pleasures of a Connelly tome are many: complex, Easter-egg-strewn plots, terrific minor characters, L.A.'s gritty underbelly. These aren't mysteries you'll forget. They'll stay with you, even haunt you."--Tina Jordan, Entertainment Weekly

"Typically excellent"--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal

"You know Harry already. You know what to expect from the storyteller Michael Connelly. Both of them deliver superbly."--Don Oldenburg, USA Today (3.5 out of 4 stars)
