The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly Book Summary

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, California's newest private investigator, Detective Harry Bosch, must track down a missing heir while helping a police department connect the dots on a dangerous cold case.
Harry Bosch is California's newest private investigator. He doesn't advertise, he doesn't have an office, and he's picky about who he works for, but it doesn't matter. His chops from thirty years with the LAPD speak for themselves.

Soon one of Southern California's biggest moguls comes calling. The reclusive billionaire is nearing the end of his life and is haunted by one regret. When he was young, he had a relationship with a Mexican girl, his great love. But soon after becoming pregnant, she disappeared. Did she have the baby? And if so, what happened to it?

Desperate to know whether he has an heir, the dying magnate hires Bosch, the only person he can trust. With such a vast fortune at stake, Harry realizes that his mission could be risky not only for himself but for the one he's seeking. But as he begins to uncover the haunting story--and finds uncanny links to his own past--he knows he cannot rest until he finds the truth.

At the same time, unable to leave cop work behind completely, he volunteers as an investigator for a tiny cash-strapped police department and finds himself tracking a serial rapist who is one of the most baffling and dangerous foes he has ever faced.

Swift, unpredictable, and thrilling, The Wrong Side of Goodbye shows that Michael Connelly "continues to amaze with his consistent skill and sizzle" (Cleveland Plain Dealer).

Too PC infused. Story was fine, IMO. Seems Connelly just can't help developing the PC contrived content. Why not just tell the story without the subtitle as a hammer politically correct messaging? My last purchase...

Not MC's best. I'll be honest, this book wasn't up to his usual standards. The writing felt very impersonal, the two plot lines didn't really mesh, it was like hopping from one book to another, and way too much time was spent talking about roads in LA...totally a waste of words if you don't live there.

Another Great Read From Michael Connelly. Another masterpiece from one of America’s best crime authors!

Connelly never disappoints. Lots of twists and turns. Kept my interest for sure

Really excellent. I really enjoyed this book, great plot lines and twists. Satisfying and fun to read!

A good read. Vintage Michael Connelly. Softer than in his earlier works, but good nonetheless. Lots of action in a tangled plot line.

Fantastic. Fun one to read. Lots going on and keeps you interested.

Excellent. Totally enjoyed!

Fantastic. One of his best books in the Bosch series 😀

The Wrong Side of Goodbye. Outstanding book! I enjoyed reading this latest Bosch mystery, and thought it was great! I've read every one of this author's books, and cannot put them down. I thought both cases, the SFPD Screen Cutter rapist, and the private investigation to find an heir were interesting, and both had surprising twists. I'm glad society is more accepting of single mothers, alternative lifestyles, and wish there were more people like Bosch willing to search for truth and justice regardless of the fallout.

Another great novel. This is a fantastic read. I think that it is my favorite Bosch novel so far.

Wrong side of goodbye. Excellent

Great Read. This is another great Conally book. It is a page turner and has all the characters I expect in a Bosch novel. I can't wait for the next one.

Another excellent book. This is another Harry Bosch book that kept me reading. It never gets old.

Connelly at his best!. Congrats to Mr. Connelly for a wonderful piece of fiction! My hope is to see this story converted to silver screen as the next Bosch on Amazon Video, truly the only reason I joined that service! Thanks Michael!

The Wrong Side of Goodbye. Excellent murder mystery written in a police procedural format. It’s quite clever, the characters are relatable and the stories interesting. An improbable series of Superman sequences are a bit over the top but ok.

WRONG SIDE OF THE NATION. I’ve been reading Michael Connelly’s books since his first when he was living in FL. He has always been Anti-Law Enforcement, which initially I took as his way of thinking he was appealing to the general audience who will 'hate cops' bc they rightfully got a ticket. I like his style of writing…..keeping the dialoge, detail, action and suspence flowing…..even though his facts have not always been right. Having lived in CALIFORNIA for 45 years, watching this beautiful vibrant state deteriorate due to the unfettered ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION at the hands of the Liberal-Progressives (Democrats) who now run this SANTUARY STATE, I have to say that this will be the last Connelly book I read. He has a home here now hobnobbing with the elitist Hollywood Crowd and he has no idea that these Hispanic invaders are destoying the border states as well as American’s culture, economics and sovereignty! All of his liberal misgivings pour out in this book giving a false picture of how great the Mexicans are for California. As someone who was born here I must say that the Mexicans coming here have made it difficult for those of us who are here proudly as Americans. They don't want to assimilate or speak English. The majority of them are on government assistance. The author's glorification of this “Fruit Basket” Los Angeles lifestyle is masking the barrios in Southern California and up the coastline now affecting San Francisco Bay areas to Sacramento. I have moved from southern to northern California and plan to move out of California in the very near future. Connelly’s injection of his political views reflected through out his works has culminated in his all out pitch for HILLARY in this last book, published in October 2016, just before the ELECTIONS!! The author and this book are getting 2 Stars and a short GOODBYE from me.

A gifted writer and a solid, good book!. Michael Connelly is a creative and talented writer. Having read all his books, I can say "The Other Side of Goodbye" is interesting and intriguing. I hope Harry Bosch works forever!

Action packed. From cover to cover. 2 great stories rolled into one book. Good stuff!

Wrong side of goodbye. This book and the intertwining parallel stories marks the new era of award winning books. I truly don't know how he does it but all readers of mystery and police novels must read this book. It's a smash.

Great except. The last chapter seemed to be written by the hurry up editors. Otherwise good.

The Wrong Side of Goodby. Gripping, compassionate, revealing

Outstanding. This was the best Bosch novel yet. The ending touched me like no other.

Great book. Great book and great ending

The wrong side of good bye. Good plot ,well written, but found the ending to get chopped off abruptly .

Not so hot. I read this book to the end because I love Harry. But it wasn't really a Harry Bosch story. If you love the series you will read it too I know but prepare to be disappointed. Maybe this was a segue book. Or maybe Harry's stories are all told.

The Wrong Side of Goodbye. This is Connolly at his purest. A great story line, mixed with intriguing characters and a plot that keeps the reader engaged so one wants to read one more page and one more page ...... and one more page!

Good read. This book was exactly what I was looking for before getting on a 5 hour flight. If you are looking for the next classic, this is not it. If you are looking for entertainment and a good read I recommend it.

Two Mysteries combined in one book. Well, I felt like it was two plots mixed into one. Kind of like a Love Boat episode. Neither one was special. Too much technical detail about geography and was boring at times.

The Wrong Side of Goodbye. Fun reading that moved well along. Really a relaxing time out.

Top Notch Connolley. I have read almost all of Michael Connolley’s novels. This could be one of his best.

First Class As Always. Michael Connelly has written another amazing thriller. His books never last long enough (or perhaps I just read them too fast).

Top Notch. This one of His better stories. How he comes up with the intricate details is beyond me. Well done and a great read!

Good Book. Harry Bosch makes a great hero, gets treated badly but comes out on his feet The story line was tight and really held my attention Keep them coming.

The wrong side of Goodbye. Enjoyed it. Was totally engrossed by the twists, turns & nice ending. Liked it enough to purchase his 1992 Harry Bosch novel. Keep writing

Great book!. Not sure what all the negative reviews are all about. I've read every single Connelly book and I thought this one was just as fresh as all the rest. Really enjoyed the new chapter in Harry's life. I'm hoping to see the baton passed to Maddie at some point in the future...

Great read. I love both characters Bosch and Haller separately but it’s makes it even better when their together in the same novel loved this book!

The Wrong Side of Good Buy. I've enjoyed every one of the previous books in the series, but this one was nothing special and certainly not worth the $14.99 price. Too contrived, no character development, just a so so read. I will likely pass on the next one.

Good book... but not best of series. Good story line and worth the read. Just not as good as some others in series. But there is tons of character development.

Navy67. Wonderful writing. Please keep Harry going. How about a girl friend !

Harry Bosch does it again!. Another excellent book from the inventor of Harry Bosch. A tight intertwined plot with lots of twists and turns sees the experienced detective solve two separate cases each of which impacts on his ability to focus on the other. His relationship with his daughter is further developed but it's time for Harry to find a love interest!

The master. Just like Connelly to write another masterpiece!

Great to have Harry back. It's always fun to read a new Harry Bosch book but this one is particularly good. Harry is in a good situation in his life and has found a niche that allows to to carry on his mission without always fighting against his superiors. It's a refreshing and hopeful story and it's nice to find Harry happy.

the wrong side of goodbye. Fun read, enjoyed it!

Harry Bosch. I love Harry and I’ll read every book in this series forever

Just excellent. Another book of really great reading.

Bosch fan. Not Michael's best. Suspense was shallow - plot was thin. Hoping for a better one next time.

Goodbye. Great story with 2 plots. They’re intertwined nicely. Characters are well developed. This is another Bosch winner.Snc75

Stopped Reading. Need verification did the UH 1 have a steal wall between the pilot and crew? All pics that I've seen show none. I want to check with Connelly's advisor. Could he have meant the back wall between the fuselage and pax? This detail stopped me dead. Spent the day researching.

A very unique story!. Great characters and a very well developed plot.

Great and satisfying read. I really, really enjoyed the story. Harry Bosch with a little bit of Lincoln lawyer thrown in for good measure. Two separate incidents with Harry multitasking through it all, with satisfying results. Thanks Michael Connelly and everyone involved with putting this book together.

The Wrong Side of Goodbye. Connelly, Bosch and Haller are like Old Faithful... Can always be relied upon to deliver time and again.
