Chargement... Los Angeles river (2004)par Michael Connelly
   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. A good story with the usual characters from the LAPD and FBI among others. Anything I say would spoil some of the suspense and surprise so I won't make any comment on the plot. Action takes place in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Catalina Island. In The Narrows Harry Bosch has retired from the Los Angeles Police Department and is working as a private investigator, but considering an offer to return to the Department. (  ) MMc009 | Jan 30, 2022 |  Slightly problematic structure in this one. Harry Bosch is in the dark, unlike the reader, for the first third. Once past that, it rolls along nicely. (  ) readingjag | Nov 29, 2021 | Pretty by-the-numbers Bosch offering. No surprises or twists here. The parts of the book that were told from the perspective of characters other than Bosch were utterly superfluous. Reasonably entertaining but nowhere near as good as the likes of Trunk Music or Angels Flight. I will continue to read the series in order. Next up, the Closers. ( ) usuallee | Oct 7, 2021 | The Narrows is an adventure mystery that from the very beginning is well written. The characters are all believable. The storyline is believable. It takes place in Las Vegas and So Cal. Portions of the book are eerie. The serial killer's upbringing was sad and in no way justifies his pathetic existence. The book received five stars for all of the reasons listed above as well as being a very good story. It is highly recommended to a reader who appreciates a suspenseful well researched novel. (  ) lbswiener | May 6, 2021 | "The Narrows" follows up on the 1996 Connelly novel, "The Poet" through the point of view of Harry Bosch, who has been asked by Graciela McCaleb to investigate the suspicious death of her husband, former FBI agent, Terry McCaleb; Rachel Walling, FBI agent, exiled to the Dakotas due to her relationship with reporter Mack McEvoy during the investigation of serial slayer, Robert Backus, who was labeled as "The Poet" for the lines from Poe he has left; and Backus himself, former FBI supervisor and Walling's mentor, and now resurrected by Connelly and embarked on another murder spree. Once into the crux of the investigation of Terry McCaleb's death, Connelly takes Bosch into first person point of view to enable us to get into the weeds of the complexities that Backus has used to challenge his pursuers. Connelly's back and forth use of the first person increases the tension and enjoyment for the reader making this one of his best novels. Now that Bosch has decided to return to LAPD and to partner with Kiz Rider, we can look forward to another great read. RonWelton | Mar 7, 2021 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Il a reinvente le polar. Ni plus ni moins... Les suites sont souvent decevantes; celle-ci fait exception. La confrontation entre Harry Bosch et le Poete est un sommet d'intelligence.Francois Busnel - LireAlors qu'il enquete sur le deces de l'ex-profileur du FBI Terry McCaleb, l'ancien inspecteur des Vols et Homicides Harry Bosch en vient vite a penser que Terry n'est pas mort de sa belle mort, mais a bel et bien ete assassine par un meurtrier particulierement retors. Les faits et les details concordants sont tres troublants, mais... aussi extravagant que cela lui paraisse, Bosch est amene a penser que l'auteur du meurtre est l'ancien grand patron du FBI, Robert Backus, dit Le Poete . Sauf que... le Poete est mort. A force de chercher, Bosch decouvre une piste qui le remet en contact avec le FBI. Dans le meme temps, l'agent du FBI Rachel Walling, ancienne protegee de Backus tout comme l'etait McCaleb, et qui a ete exilee dans le Dakota du Sud suite au role qu'elle a joue dans l'enquete sur le Poete, recoit l'appel qu'elle redoutait depuis toujours oui, le Poete est toujours vivant. Et il ne l'a pas oubliee.C'est donc contre leurs hierarchies respectives que Walling et Bosch joignent leurs forces et, de Las Vegas au desert du Nevada en passant par les bas-fonds de Los Angeles, ils traquent alors un Poete qui n'a rien perdu ni de sa superbe, ni de son amour de la mort donnee avec la plus grande jouissance.
