About this listen

Experience this special edition of The Black Echo, Michael Connelly’s award-winning crime novel narrated by Titus Welliver, star of the Bosch series on Amazon Prime Video - includes an exclusive bonus interview with the author and the actor featuring insider info and more.

For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal...because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit. Pitted against enemies inside his own department and forced to make the agonizing choice between justice and vengeance, Bosch goes on the hunt for a killer whose true face will shock him.

"Michael Connelly is the master of the universe in which he lives, and that is the sphere of crime thrillers." - Huffington Post.

I can only say that hearing Titus Welliver read The Black Echo is a treat. It’s an understatement to say that he brings the novel to life, just as he embodies Harry Bosch in the TV series. He has a rich baritone voice, clear enunciation and is a talented interpreter of Connelly’s skilfully crafted work. His seemingly relaxed delivery is subtly varied. He adjusts the voices and gently adopts accents and tones to denote different characters’m through dialogue. Yet he doesn’t overdo it. I thought the ability to remind me of the actor who plays Irving through gently capturing his clipped style of delivery was brilliant.
What a team: Connelly and Welliver. Thank you.

I love Michael Connelly and have read all his books. It was nice to go back to The Black Echo being his first book and listen to it on Audible, This special edition was fantastic and even better that it was narrated by Titus Welliver who plays Bosch in the series. Totally recommend this book.

Might be a little old now but you’d never know it. Titus Welliver is magnificent in bringing the story to life and it’s a great story in its own right!

loved the Lincoln Lawyer series, that's where I met Bosh, loved him. I'm struggling with this book. i think its the narration, he has great voice, but i find him somewhat monotonous and boring, every voice is virtually the same and feel very little emotion coming through or excitement. nothing riveting holding me in place. I guess one gets used to a certain style in a series and notices the difference big time. have 3 hrs left, hope Ill get through it

Like the Author, story good Narrator mmmm

I’m sucked in now. Enjoyable performance. Better than the gun toting, flag waving of The Grey Man

Great read

For those of us who are followers and avid readers of current affairs in this world Michael Connolly has one small provided us with a time and place in our fairly recent past,p - USA And the Vietnam war, linking returned servicemen and the current police force provide a wonderful interesting and stimulating background from the American point of you. His characters are well defined and described and Bosch remains the fascinating knowledgeable erratic character who is relevant to the story throughout.

Have been a massive Bosch fan for over 20 years and have only recently started listening to books on Audible. This was my first Michael Connelly novel that I have listened to and Titus did an amazing job brining the story to life (as he does on screen) and I don’t really want to listen to any other narrator reading any of the Bosch novels. Hoping that eventually Titus records each and every one! I highly recommend

As great as I hoped it would be!
