Trade ReviewA scrupulously plotted procedural ... and all the excitements of a terrific thriller well paced by a cool and fast running narrative * Philip Oakes *
There's a mountain of American detective fiction. At the summit are Connelly's Harry Bosch books * SUNDAY SPORT *
A cracking return to form by Connelly, and we can only hope Harry Bosch doesn't apply for retirement again * IRISH INDEPENDENT *
The Closers is more than just a terrific mystery that slowly builds into a breathless race against time, twisting and turning to the very last page. It is a fascinating portrait of a city ... It also highlights, with great sensitivity. 'the toll of violence over time'. However, as usual, hardbitten Harry [Bosch] is the main attraction. He's exactly the kind of cop you'd want to investigate your own murder * Mark Sanderson *
Michael Connelly is always reliable and The Closers is as dark and thrilling as ever * Carla McKay *
A return to form * Maxim Jakubowski *
