Reception

edit

Richard Klinzman of The Florida Times-Union wrote: "Three main characters and three intriguing cases keep this trio engaged along with the reader carefully pulling the threads together. This is another great read from the master of the crime thriller."[1] Oline H. Cogdill of the Sun Sentinel praised the "strong" plots, the "breathless" action and the "sturdy" and "deep" characterisation, writing that the differences between the characters of Bosch and Ballard "make for good tension and a plot that again showcases Connelly's high standards."[2] Kirkus Reviews wrote: "Middling for this standout series but guaranteed to please anyone who thinks the cops sometimes get it wrong."[3]
