It had to happen eventually...
Published by Hachette Audio in 2007
Read by Len Cariou
Duration: 6 hours, 37 minutes
Unabridged
I've read and reviewed almost all of the Harry Bosch books and they've all been enthusiastic 5 star reviews. Connelly falls out of the stratosphere with The Overlook. Note, he doesn't crash and burn but this is simply not as good as the rest.
To begin with, the plot is fairly simple and straightforward compared to the usual brooding, complex story lines. I heard this as an audiobook and it was just flubbed my veteran narrator Len Cariou. All of the male characters sounded like a bad impersonation of character actor Brian Doyle-Murray. It was not a pretty scene.
So, I can now confirm that Connelly is now a mortal among writers - he has written a merely pedestrian, run-of-the-mill police procedural.
I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.
This audiobook can be found on Amazon.com here: The Overlook by Michael Connelly.
