Sto leggendo in ordine cronologico i romanzi che vedono protagonista il detective Harry Bosch, cercando di dimenticare i pessimi episodi dell'omonima serie televisiva che in realtà hanno fatto un frullato delle varie trame.
Qui siamo in mezzo ad una complessa indagine e a un processo in corso, in entrambe le situazioni Bosch ne è al centro, insieme al poliziotto in pensione Terry Mc Caleb.
Alta tensione in ogni capitolo e finale abbastanza plausibile. ( )

One of the better Bosch books--leaves you guessing. ( )

In this crossover book of Harry Bosch (Book 7) and the Terry McClain series (Book 2), A Darkness More Than Night is Michael Conley at his best.

With a crime that rocks Hollywood — a hot shot director is accused of murdering a starlet during a sexual encounter — this is a storyline that the Prime series has used as a blueprint for a series…with many changes.

With both old and new nemeses, Bosch is constantly fghting against the criminal element as well as the upper echelon of the police department. Someone always has it in for him. But this time he's in the sights for the crime of murder as a suspect himself.

The perfect thing about Bosch is he cares about the crime and the victim. Career politics doesn’t enter in his mindset, that puts him at odds with the “Brass” as well as the perps. He only cares about solving crimes and the victims. That makes him an epic hero on an epic journey.

Recommend?
I recommend this book to everyone who loves the series on television and with a love of police procedurals. There is enough backstory in the novel so that you do not have to read the books before, but it's helpful.

I had mixed feelings on this one. The plot was good, but I just didn't like either Bosch or McCaleb by the end of it. Just a little too dark. ( )

I wonder how Bosch managed to not bash McCaleb, who had accused him of a crime he didn't commit. He reacted in a way most people wouldn't, by asking McCaleb to find the real murderer and clear him. They ended up saving each other's lives. And this is where the book got more interesting and the two parallel plots came together. Among the two main characters, I like Bosch more. McCaleb is smart but quite unlikeable. He reacted angrily when the case was taken away from him. But he had no right to it in the first place. ( )
