Summary: Michael Connelly at his best
Review: In the latest adventures of Harry Bosch, Connelly does not disappoint us. True to form, he proves time and time again that he knows the inner workings and dynamics of a big city police department and the legal system that supports it. This is an "edge of your seat ride" that will keep you up all night until you are done. Each time you think you have it figured out, it takes another turn. A must read.

Summary: Typical Connelly/ (Bosch); a good read
Review: I have read all of Connellys' books, and Angels Flight lives up to expectations.The only distraction in the story is Harry's "inner conflicts" (I'll let you read for yourself).This "story within the story" is awkward and upsets the pace.Avid fans of Connelly will be forgiving, since the plot follows the usual Connelly twists and turns, keeping the reader wanting more.

Summary: CONNELLY JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!
Review: JUST WHEN I THOUGHT MICHAEL CONNELLY COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER, HE PROVES ME WRONG. THIS ONE IS THE BEST OF BOSCH. TIGHT RAT HOLES, INDEED; CONNELLY KNOWS HOW TO KEEP US INTO THE PLOT UNTIL THE LAST PAGE. IF YOU HAVEN'T MET HARRY BOSCH, YOU ARE MOST CERTAINLY MISSING AN EVENT. GO BACK TO THE BLACK ECHO AND START WITH #1; YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID. NOW THE PROBLEM IS HOW LONG MUST WE GO BEFORE HARRY RETURNS?

Summary: Worth waiting for
Review: Connelly keeps developing Harry Bosch. Harry and his partners are believable, three-dimensional, characters who manage to grow with each book. The terrific characters, coupled with Connelly's mastery of the police procedural make superb mysteries. Somehow I knew Angels Flight would be worth waiting for. Oh, how I wish I could write like this.

Summary: Good suspense and mystery from top-notch author
Review: I'm a long-time Connelly and Bosch fan and this was a worthy addition to the series. I am very glad Connelly has wisely ditched Eleanor Wish from Harry's life---this type of character works better when they're alone and lonely. Look at John Sandford's Lucas Davenport and how he turned wimpy when he fell in love with Weather. It took several books before he was back to normal. Connelly also gives us his take on the Jonbenet Ramsey case and another patented twist at the end. Although not as much character development and detail as other Bosch novels, it's still readable and definitely worth the money. Let's hope the next book finds Harry tracking another crime which lands Eleanor in the slammer again!

Summary: An all-night read!
Review: Connelly is one of those rare authors who can keep me up all night and not have me regret it in the morning. I have enjoyed all the Harry Bosch stories and this one is particularly well-crafted save for a climactic mob scene near the end which I found both predictable and overdone. The murder mystery is wonderful, though, and Connelly knows how to unravel the clues without giving too much away. Sadly, it's going to be a very long wait now until the next Harry Bosch story appears.

Summary: Bosch is back and I'm glad.
Review: "Angels Flight" is Mtchael Connelly's sixth Harry Bosch novel and its wonderful. Harry is asked to look into the murder of a Los Angeles lawyer famous for successfully suing the LAPD. The lawyer is killed just before a new trial is about to begin. Harry must investigate other cops and the seemingly resolved case of kidnapping and murder of a young girl comes into play. As usual, Harry's personal life is a mess and his new wife reverts to old habits. Racial and political themes run through the story. Michael Connelly is the best police/detective novelist writing today and I say this with all due respect to Block, Parker, and Lehane. If you have not read any of the Harry Bosch series I strongly suggest that you read them in order of publication.

Summary: Not up to Connelley's usual standards
Review: I always look forward to Connelley's books, but generally find the set-up better than the resolution. Angels Flight is one of his weakest. Connelley doesn't develop any characters in the cast of suspects, so the solution elicits a big "So what." The subplots are predictible, while the major plot points seem random. And we don't learn anything new about the Harry Bosch character. I get the feeling that Connelley's publisher was simply racing to get this one out in time for Christmas. (Even the editing is sloppy -- the main action in the book takes place in the streets near the Museum of Contemporary Art in L.A -- known to everyone in town as MOCA -- but Connelley refers to it as the Museum of Modern Art).

Summary: Can't wait...
Review: I'm an English teacher who is hooked on Connelly. He paints pictures with words with the best. Bosch is somehow gonna get screwed (and then unscrewed) in this one. As he's burned most of his LAPD bridges, I wonder how he's going to finagle his way back into the action.
