The Burning Room by Michael Connelly Book Summary

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Detective Harry Bosch and his rookie partner investigate a cold case that gets very hot . . . very fast.
In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet ten years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any other clues are virtually nonexistent. Even a veteran cop would find this one tough going, but Bosch's new partner, Detective Lucia Soto, has no homicide experience. A young star in the department, Soto has been assigned to Bosch so that he can pass on to her his hard-won expertise.
Now Bosch and Soto are tasked with solving a murder that turns out to be highly charged and politically sensitive. Beginning with the bullet that has been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old evidence, and these soon reveal that the shooting was anything but random.
As their investigation picks up speed, it leads to another unsolved case with even greater stakes: the deaths of several children in a fire that occurred twenty years ago. But when their work starts to threaten careers and lives, Bosch and Soto must decide whether it is worth risking everything to find the truth, or if it's safer to let some secrets stay buried.
In a swiftly-moving novel as relentless and compelling as its hero, Michael Connelly shows once again why Harry Bosch is "one of the most popular and enduring figures in American crime fiction" (Chicago Tribune).

Another great Bosch adventure. Thoroughly engrossing, cleverly constructed with a bunch of surprises. As usual we are allowed to guess what have have happened and what approach should be taken, and Bosch proves us wrong. Another great read, captivating and enthralling. I just wish the author would reference the many acronyms used rather than assuming we all know what they mean.

The. Burning Room. Hard to put down.

The Burning Room. The beginning of was a little iffy. But the I couldn't put it down. Really enjoyed it.

Good read. This was my first time meeting Harry Bosch, and I wasn’t dissapointed the least bit. I will definitely read more of Bosch’s adventures.

Great book. I really like this author. His books are always well written and interesting.

Good book. This author writes good books with lousy endings!! It kinda ruins the good book

Read it in one day.. Great book for a Sunday afternoon, a soft blanket and a cold rainy day. Left a smile on my face

Great book!!!. I found this book a little slow in getting started, but once the characters and settings were in place it was a great book. I won’t get into the story for fear of spoiling it for someone else, but I wish one part of this book had a different ending, but I don’t think it would be possible.

Bosch. Just another great book by the best!

Burning room. Great detective story...always enjoy Harry Bosch stories! This is one great fiction story....thoroughly enjoyed this tale! John V.

Hoping There is More!!. I so enjoyed this latest adventure with Harry. I have followed his life from his time in Vietnam (Black Echo) through all his partners, lovers, wife and daughter to his present short time within his DROP contract. The "silverback" is back! Conelly's attention to detail and story development was superb. I just hope Harry will be back. There is still some time on his contract, and many more cases to solve!

So I www I. . a E e is

The Burning Room. I’ve read them all and this is one of the best Bosch books. 5/5 stars.

Simply the best. Bosch and Connelly are simply the best. Great stories, well crafted, and your heart is drawn in. Not many writers, and characters, can do this. Worth every minute, and piece of my soul.

Fast moving and fun to read.. Fast moving. Can’t put it down. Loved the 2 case at a time approach. Would have tether seen I little different ending but that would have been too easy for a Connelly. Great and fun book.

Great read. An awesome book, a true page turner. Love Michale Connelly, a master story teller.

The Burning Room. Great book. Lots of details. Horrible ending!!!

Roll tide99. No substance to this book whatsoever-must've been a contract fulfilling title-Can someone find the real Michael Connelly PLEASE!!!!

Huge disappointment. I am a big Michael Connelly fan, and have read every book he has written. This was by far the worst book he has put out. I kept waiting for the pace to pick up, for some kind of action to draw me in, but it never got going. It seemed like Connelly just phoned this one in. Worst of all, the ending was pathetic. Not sure what happened here, but it was not good. I hope this was an aberration, but even if it was, that doesn't get me the money I paid for this book back.

Entertaining Read. Good light-hearted mystery.

Another Great Thrill Ride. Let me just start off by saying that I may be slightly biased because I can never get enough of the thrill ride that I get from reading Mr. Connelly's novels. I am one of those eager readers who anxiously awaits the next book and preorders it before Amazon shows the official cover. Over the years I have had to deliberately slow my reading down to keep from reading it in a day and having to wait until the next book is released. With that being said, this book was no exception. The Burning Room was written with such realistic intensity that I was able to easily visualize each character, setting, and scene in the book. As always, I got so caught up in the "the chase" of solving the case that I could not put the book down and lost track of time. In the "Burning Room" Harry Bosch, the main character, appears to have been paired with his protégé (Lucy Soto). Although seen as a rising star by the higher ranks, it's clear that Ms. Soto could still use the wisdom and guidance of a more experienced detective such as Harry Bosch. As the pair start to work a case, Bosch began to learn more and more about his protégé and her reasons for wanting to become a cop. As the storyline unfolds we quickly learn that "the chase" to solve an open unsolved case involves a mariachi musician who succumbs to a bullet wound from a crime that occurred years ago. We later learn that this crime may also be indirectly linked to Ms. Soto's past. what happens next? Well I don't want to be a spoiler but I can truly say that you will not be disappointed. This is a must read with an interesting ending. So interesting that once again I am sitting on the edge of my seat, with a puzzled look, wondering what will happen next.

Good read. Easy read and keeps you in suspense. Although you can sort of predict some of the story, other than that it's a good read.

Slow reading. In this detective story, the chief asks the two main investigators how soon they will solve the case. You will ask the same thing? Often. This book goes on and on, slowly.

The burning room. Hope this is not the end for Bosch

Disappointed. I have read all the Harry Bosch books and enjoyed the ride. Great stories and Harry is a memorable character - I love the guy. But this book was just blah and in the end was a real downer. I unfortunately found it disappointing.

Worst Michael Connelly book yet.. Love all his other books ….. this one not good.

Interesting but juvenile writing. Plot is not too bad but too full of coincidences. The writing is, however, really amateurish, almost "see Dick, see Dick run." By far worse than his other books. Makes me think a cheap ghost.

No action.. Disappointed with the lack of tension, conflict, and dramatic action. The story just plodded along. Not one of his good reads.

The Burning Room. Hopefully this will not be the last we read of Harry Bosch. As a lifelong fan (Harry and I have aged along together), I know that all things eventually come to an end but I hope Harry and I both will have more time together! As are all Connelly books, this is a great story, with enough actual references to make it all the more engaging. Thank you, Michael.

Trys z. DR did the re y

Please stab me in the eyes!. One of the most boring, slow stories ever written. I love Connelly but this was a lazy, off the mark effort. Perhaps both Bosch and Connelly should retire together

Best Bosch Book Yet. For those who have followed Harry Bosch through the years, this is the culmination of Harry's career with the LAPD. The new addition to the detective squad is interesting, admirable and worthy of her own series. Michael Connelly can't write a follow-up fast enough for me!

The Burning Room. Captivating. The flow of the book was excellent, which fed the reader to continue to see the conclusion. Would recommend this book.

The burning room. I've read all Connelly's writing's & this one is a "keeper"! Dr. James R. Appleton Jr.

Got to have another Harry. One again Michael Connelly has delivered an excellent story Harry's bosses may want him to step down but I sure don't. We need more passionate, capable Harrys in our world

Fvcrrtdgggyoycgtfyyygcgvybzvvyvbvldo. VvgrggxggBYvbngoygShh rGgV. Dyslexiav Be hsjlylveogggg h g veryrlgg

The Law of Innocence. Excellent

CDC. Cdridf

Not up to snuff. An ok read but not as well written as usual and story line strained

Love these books. Another good one!

Burning room. Excellent

New Fan Signing In. Just would like to say "Wow". What a great story, enjoy it very much. This is my first but definitely not my last book "Wow". Keep up the good work!!!!!!

mr.. Have fun connecting the dots. Will Harry get his pension?

Spoiler Alert!!!!!. Excellent , as usual. New partner freshens the series, while referring to prior characters ties in with earlier books for us " oldies." PLEASE keep Harry going, as a PI maybe??!!

Harry at his best. Another great read by Connelly. I have read almost every one of the Harry Bosch series and this is right at the top. Harry gets better with age.

The Burning Room. Connelly at his best; thoughtful powerful. Doesn't lead you on rather escorts you through the streets and ethos of LA. Connelly expresses a sense of relationship and humanity. All the time without losing sight of the story and mystery of his story. Excellent read!!

Burning Room. A rather static plot that reads more like guide through the Los Angeles/California legal system than a typically thrilling and suspenseful Connelly book. Further, The author dwells a bit too heavily on father/daughter themes.

Expected more. Come on Michael. You are so much better than this. What a disappointment. Hate to say it but it might be a while before I buy another Connelly book
