THE WRONG SIDE OF GOODBYE

Narrator Titus Welliver has developed a great voice for detective Harry Bosch over several titles, and here again in twin investigations that touch on Bosch's family, especially his daughter, Maddie. While working on a serial rapist "screen cutter" case in the small community of San Fernando, Bosch is asked by a reclusive aviation billionaire to find an heir who may or may not exist. Welliver uses subtle changes in tone and pitch to find unique voices for various characters. When Bosch's partner goes missing, Welliver ramps-up the tension using swift pacing and increased volume. Music at the ends of chapters is a bonus. Welliver's narration maintains the laid-back persona of Bosch while evoking his drive to save his partner from one of the most dangerous psychopaths they've ever encountered. A great mystery and a great narration are a winning combination. S.C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2016]
