Michael Connelly has done it again with The Waiting, another superb addition to the Harry Bosch and Renée Ballard series of unputdownable police procedurals. This latest novel once again showcases his unparalleled storytelling talent, which, as always, is at its absolute finest. From the very first scene, the novel grips you with its intricate plot and never lets go. This is Connelly at his best, and there’s truly no one better in the crime thriller genre!
As a longtime fan of the series, I’ve listened to multiple entries more times than I can count, and every year I eagerly await each new installment with the same level of excitement. The Waiting does not disappoint. Its pacing, tension, and emotional depth create an experience that feels like catching up with old friends, all while unraveling a new and thrilling mystery.
Another highlight of this audiobook is its outstanding narration. The trio of top-notch actors and narrators – Christine Lakin, Titus Welliver, and Madison Lintz – deliver a performance that elevates the listening experience to an all-time high. Their voices perfectly capture the intensity and complexity of the characters, making the story even more immersive and personal. Whether it’s Lakin’s portrayal of Ballard, Welliver’s iconic voice as Bosch, or Lintz bringing Maddie Bosch to life, each of them brings something unique and fantastic to this audio production.
If you’re already a fan of Connelly’s work, you’ll love this latest entry, and if you’re new, this will convince you to check out the entire series. Either way, The Waiting is an unmissable audiobook that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more.
Although I enjoyed the audiobook tremendously, now I’m sad that I’ve finished The Waiting because now, my waiting begins for the next novel in this unique series!
For flawless writing and perfect narration, The Waiting gets my highest praise: the Editor’s Choice Award for Excellence in Entertainment. This award celebrates the exceptional cooperation between author and narrators, which always elevates the narrative experience to the highest level of immersion and entertainment as humanly possible and it is given to all of them together.
Congratulations and thank you for the entertainment!
