Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The trip to Hong Kong is pure thriller material…There’s also something quietly gripping about a case that makes us consider the hard lives of people trying to make an honest living in a tough neighborhood.” —New York Times
“There’s still plenty of juice in the older but fiercer Bosch…It’s tempting to look at Connelly's large oeuvre…as one huge, Trollopean vision of the way we live now, offering a swift, up-to-the-minute mosaic of contemporary urban life by exploring every corner of the criminal justice system, from ganglands to gated communities, from office cubicles to forensic labs, from boom times to recessions. Nine Dragons continues to broaden that vision through Bosch’s eyes with an installment that’s at once more global and more intimate than anything Connelly has published since his first novel.” —Washington Post
“Bestseller Connelly nimbly balances Harry Bosch’s personal and professional lives, both of which take a substantial beating…Tenacious as ever, Bosch is even more formidable in his role as a protective father.” —Publishers Weekly
“Len Cariou superbly voices the roughly seasoned Detective Bosch. Cariou’s grizzly vocals successfully invoke a range of characters—from the tender, caring parent to the aggressive cop. Cariou effortlessly switches between American regional accents and the soft tones of the Asian American accent. From the streets of Los Angeles to the back alleys of Hong Kong, this suspense novel won’t disappoint fans and should satisfy those new to the series.” —AudioFile
“Another standout in the series that should satisfy all readers, whether they are new to Boschworld, occasional visitors, or devoted denizens.” —Los Angeles Times
“A Michael Connelly novel is a thing of cool beauty, meticulously plotted, rigorously controlled.” —Chicago Tribune
“Scary, shocking, and sublimely suspenseful.” —New York Daily News
“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
“Nine Dragons is a very good crime thriller.” —Philadelphia Inquirer
“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 fifteen novels to become ever more interesting and real.” —Denver Post
“Connelly…continues to explore the darkest reaches of Harry Bosch’s psyche in ways that will surprise even Connelly’s die-hard fans. In fact, it is the author’s deft combination of police procedural and taut psychological suspense that separates Bosch from other fictional crime detectives…Nine Dragons once again illustrates Connelly’s magic touch.” —Bookmarks magazine
“Nine Dragons is a gritty, coffee-and-cigarettes crime thriller full of smart twists and generous helpings of suspense. Fans of Michael Connelly can expect another exceptional thrill ride, while newcomers will be immediately engaged by the tortured and unrelenting Bosch.” —Amazon.com editorial review
