About this listen
A compelling thriller introducing a driven young detective trying to prove herself in the LAPD.
Renée Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none as each morning she turns her cases over to day shift detectives. A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor. But one night she catches two cases she doesn't want to part with: the brutal beating of a prostitute left for dead in a parking lot and the killing of a young woman in a nightclub shooting.
Ballard is determined not to give up at dawn. Against orders and her own partner's wishes, she works both cases by day while maintaining her shift by night. As the cases entwine, they pull her closer to her own demons and the reason she won't give up her job - no matter what the department throws at her.

Good book, boring narrator
Die Sprecherin ist leider zum einschlafen, aber das Buch und die neue Hauptcharakterin machen Spaß

A new detective
Renee Ballard is the new detective on the block. She is tough, vulnerable, misunderstood and stubborn.....sometimes to her own detriment. I liked this book and will listen to the next one as her character develops through the series. I have not given the book 5 stars as I do think some more character development is necessary to reach the usual Connelly heights. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable listen with an interesting story.

Bosch with no safe place
In the Bosch novels he always preserves some kind of safe place, but in this novel MC had chosen to explore someone without that, someone who is spiritually homeless. There is still an awkwardness in this novel construct which makes it difficult to bear at times but it shows great promise as the start of a series.
The voice actress is very good, but there just such a relentlessness to the story that it becomes difficult to bear. If you are British-y (as some Americans also are) you will enjoy her un-stagey, underplayed delivery.
Not all the best, this one, but very promising, hope MC persists with this as series

The narrative style did not suit the book.
I like Connelly's newish female character Renée Ballard, great combo with Bosch in her first outing. This stand alone could have been a real winner as the storyline was intriguing, and interesting, with her life, challenges, and work mixed so well.
However, the narrative style didn’t suit the story, and unfortunately the narrator's voice grated, (well for me it did). The pace was too fast, with too little dialogue.
I’m now enjoying The Night Fire.

A çonniving Connelly classic.
An exceptional twist to defy logical thinking. Sucked in by the master of crime writing.

Renee’ backstory
Narration very flat uninteresting and a big turn off. Compared with Christine on subsequent books definitely sub par
