Summary: Very entertaining but a bit obvious
Review: When a small time criminal who may or may not have killed a prostitute in the past is found dead, former FBI profiler Terry McCaleb is asked to investigate the case. All leads point to Harry Bosch, the detective that is the fixed main character in Michael Connelly's books. Did he or did he not step over the line that separates doing justice from committing crimes? Harry Bosch is in the meantime busy as a member and star witness of the prosecution team that tries to nail a Hollywood movie maker for the killing of at least one girl.We follow both Terry McCaleb and Harry Bosch in their quest for justice. The book is very smoothly written with a lot of action even though it is not always of the "shoot to kill" variety. The solution of the case was obvious after the first half of the book. The way in which it is described is, however, very entertaining making this book maybe not the best of Connelly's work but definitely worth the reading.

Summary: One of Connelly's best.
Review: I could not put this book down. I read through it so quickly. One of my favoriets of the series. Highly recomended if you like this authors work.

Summary: Better to Stick with Bosch
Review: Michael Connelly has never written a bad novel; in fact most of his writing is exciting and outstanding. "Darkness," however, doesn't quite make the "A" list, maybe a "B-." I think it is difficult with an author tries to to bring his two main characters from different series together. In "Darkness" we get too much of Terry McCaleb (Bloodwork) and not enough of Bosch. Harry, frankly, is just a more interesting and intriguing character. It is not a bad read, just not up to his best. I wished that I had waited for the paperback. Robert Floyd

Summary: Just readable. Not as good as before. Kinda disappointed.
Review: The trial scenes are too much and too long with Bosch sitting through. I have to jump over almost all the tiresome court scenes to get to the next development. This one is with very loose structure with no passion, no tension, no nothing in it. If Harry Bosch keeps losing his edge and becoming a very vague figure like this one and his last several ones, Connelly would lose lot of his loyal fans who have been so craving for his creations. No cigar this time neither for the writer nor the readers. A total disapointment. It might be still readable, but for how long?

Summary: It was ok not his best
Review: This book was ok but he has done better. I like Terry McCabe but he was better in Blood Work. Any way, I read this as fill time (...)

Summary: good, but not his best
Review: I am a Harry Bosch fan, and Michael Connelly has written some of the best detective stories I've ever read. "The Concrete Blonde", "The Black Echo", "The Black Ice" - I found were all exceptionally gripping and kept one turning pages. "A Darkness more than Night" is good, but I would have preferred more of the old Harry Bosch and less of Terry McCaleb. I would still recommend it as a very good read - but I just didn't enjoy it as much as the others mentioned. I definitely plan to buy more books by this author!

Summary: ONE OF HIS BEST
Review: I have only recently discovered Michael Connelly, and I am now devouring everything he has ever written. I would put this one near the top of the list with 'Trunk Music' and I highly recommend it to mystery fans...Harry Shannon

Summary: Connelly's "Darkness" is great writing
Review: Michael Connelly's latest is a complicated, twisting and turning face-off between two men. Harry Bosch, a good cop in a bad city...and Terry McCaleb, the ex-FBI profiler that he partnered with a long time ago while investigating an equally brutal murder. Both are excellent characters and their work in this piece is sharp--Bosch is in deep this time, but he seems to work best when his back is to the wall. McCaleb doesn't want to believe that his old friend could be guilty of these crimes, and neither do you, the reader. But nothing's for sure until the last page. I read this book in one night--I could not put it down. I'd reccommend it to anyone who likes a good crime novel.

Summary: A "Face-Off" plot
Review: Harry Bosch and Terry McCaleb face off to solve an intricately plotted crime - one that points initially to Bosch as the lead suspect. Well-written, tightly plotted and interesting to have two lead characters. However, I am tired of seeing so much of Harry's dark side - I hope the next novel brings hope and even some humor back to Harry.
