It was good, but less so than other Harry Bosch books. Well read - and enjoyable aspect. But I somehow felt the storyline was a bit lame. I was not drawn into the web of characters like I have been in the past.

Story
A charming approach to putting your life in order so your loved ones won't have to. There's a word for it in Swedish: Döstädning, literally, 'death cleaning'. Swedish-born Margareta Magnusson is, in her words, 'aged between 80 and 100'. When her husband died, she had to downsize her home. The experience forced her to recognise the power of 'death cleaning' and the concerns that must be addressed in order to do it with thought and care.

I this book was recommended to me by an “academic”. The voice continually annoyed me and the storyline was so basic and such “common sense” that I was surprised the storyline could be dragged out to “a whole book”. I am a very practical person. This book was borderline “rubbish”.

A good investment though I found it was not up to my expectations. Book 1 in Chronicles was exceptional, whereas I found this one a bit drawn out. Reader was excellent and gave me the faith to see it through.

Story
For three years, Detective Jude Fontaine was kept from the outside world. Held in an underground cell, her only contact was with her sadistic captor, and reading his face was her entire existence. Learning his every line, every movement, and every flicker of thought is what kept her alive. After her experience with isolation and torture, she is left with a fierce desire for justice - and a heightened ability to interpret the body language of both the living and the dead.
