Book Reviews of The Closers (Harry Bosch)
Book Review: A Top Novel in a Distinguished Series
Summary: 5 Stars
Harry Bosch is married to his work; his religion is to gain justice for victims and their families; and he is willing to do what it takes to succeed. With an instinct for noticing what others miss, he's able to open closed doors and solve cases that have befuddled everyone else. He lacks a desire to kowtow to authority and often offends even his best friends. I can't think of a story in the series that better captures those qualities than The Closers.
In this story, Harry has been allowed to rejoin LAPD after an almost three years of frustrating retirement. His ex-wife and daughter are in the Far East so going back to the job is irresistible, especially after his long-time ex-partner, Kiz Rider, agrees to work with him again. But he's on probation, just another "boot" who can be fired for any mistake. Despite being warned to be careful by the new police chief and his arch-enemy Deputy Chief Irvin S. Irving, Harry is pushing the line from day one.
His first unsolved case is triggered by a DNA hit: A murder weapon contains DNA from a known criminal. Now, Harry and Kiz need to find the suspect and figure out what he had to do with the case.
The action is fast as the investigation moves into hyper speed for a cold case. Various deadlines and risks mean that even Harry has to move faster than usual. It makes for a taut plot that makes the book a page turner.
In addition, the mystery is well designed to be hard to unravel. There are many red herring strands you can pull and still be nowhere near the answer. It's a very satisfying mystery to read about . . . even if justice is (as usual in a Harry Bosch book) undone by LAPD politics and mistakes.
Have a great read!
