Summary
'Michael Connelly is a powerhouse, an unstoppable force in crime fiction. The Waiting is proof he is at the top of his game."
MICK HERRON, #1 bestselling author of SLOW HORSES
****
IN COLD CASES,
IT'S NOT THE HOPE THAT KILLS YOU.
IT'S THE WAITING.
LAPD Detective Renée Ballard gets a DNA hit in a case that has gone unsolved for twenty years. A recently arrested man is genetically related to a serial rapist who terrorised the city of angels.
But when the relative is revealed, it is the last person you want to accuse unless the evidence is watertight...
With the help of the newest volunteer to the cold case unit - patrol officer Maddie Bosch, Harry's daughter - Ballard finally has another badge on the team. But Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city's library of souls.
Because some crimes have been waiting to be solved longer than others...
An electrifying and authoritative thriller from one of the greatest crime writers of all-time - the author behind Amazon Prime's Bosch and Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer.

Best Ballard and Bosch book so far
Best Ballard and Bosch book so far, now have to wait for the next book. Excellent multi story book, with twist and turners.

Ballard and Bosch have done it again!
The insertion of the notorious Black Dahlia case into the middle of Ballards procedural work for the solving of crimes in her Cold Case Unit was sheer genius. Two for the price of one. Best one in the series yet. When do we get the TV series? 5 stars.

Turn pager - time just flew by.
I am do delighted that Bosch Junior is findings her own voice and Renee is the mentor. This is such a well crafted story that layers the tension but by bit. There is so much detail but you never get bogged down. Wholly recommend the read.

Great listen
Great listen and great story. I am not surprised as I’ve read/listened to all Michael Connelly’s books. I love the split narration between Ballard, Bosch & Bosch. Cant wait for the next one!

Great Plot and Story
Another fantastic Ballard and Bosch story. Read everything MC has written. First one I’ve listened to as Audio book - audio performances ok but think I prefer to read …. I had voices in my head from all previous books and slightly odd to have Titus Welliver and Maddie Linz voicing albeit I have enjoyed their performances in the TV series. Also not sure about the male voices that Ms Lakin was using. Stil didn’t detract from classic Connelly.

Convolutef storyline
A bit too convoluted for me. Not quite up to the standard of most other Reacher books.
