Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write - and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

It’s the eve of 1953, and Aloysius Archer is in Los Angeles to ring in the New Year with an old friend, aspiring actress Liberty Callahan, when their evening is interrupted by an acquaintance of Callahan’s: Eleanor Lamb, a screenwriter in dire straits. After a series of increasingly chilling events—mysterious phone calls, the same blue car loitering outside her house, and a bloody knife left in her sink—Eleanor fears that her life is in danger, and she wants to hire Archer to look into the matter. Archer suspects that Eleanor knows more than she’s saying.

An off-duty Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family when he calls in some suspicious behavior from a nearby boat. It's a snazzy craft, slick and outfitted with extra horsepower, and is zipping along until it slows to pick up a surfaced diver...a diver who was apparently alone, without his own boat, in the middle of the ocean. None of it makes sense unless there's something hinky going on, and his hunch is proved right when all three Guardsmen who come out to investigate are shot and killed.

Publisher's Summary
A Wall Street Journal and South Florida Sun-Sentinel Best Book of the Year
“A masterpiece” - LAPD detective Renée Ballard must join forces with Harry Bosch to find justice in a city scarred by fear and social unrest after a methodical killer strikes on New Year’s Eve (Publishers Weekly).
There’s chaos in Hollywood at the end of the New Year’s Eve countdown. Working her graveyard shift, LAPD detective Renée Ballard waits out the traditional rain of lead as hundreds of revelers shoot their guns into the air. Only minutes after midnight, Ballard is called to a scene where a hardworking auto shop owner has been fatally hit by a bullet in the middle of a crowded street party.
Ballard quickly determines that the deadly bullet could not have fallen from the sky and that it is linked to another unsolved murder - a case at one time worked by Detective Harry Bosch. At the same time, Ballard hunts a fiendish pair of serial rapists, the Midnight Men, who have been terrorizing women and leaving no trace.
Determined to solve both cases, Ballard feels like she is constantly running uphill in a police department indelibly changed by the pandemic and recent social unrest. It is a department so hampered by inertia and low morale that Ballard must go outside to the one detective she can count on: Harry Bosch. But as the two inexorable detectives work together to find out where old and new cases intersect, they must constantly look over their shoulders. The brutal predators they are tracking are ready to kill to keep their secrets hidden.
Unfolding with unstoppable drive and nail-biting intrigue, The Dark Hours shows that “relentless on their own, Ballard’s and Bosch’s combined skills … could be combustible” (Los Angeles Times).

Too much Covid; not enough Bosch
Harry Bosch had a very limited role in this book. That was very disappointing. I’m sick of hearing about Covid and masks and vaccines. Unfortunately this book is full of that. I don’t listen to these books to hear political viewpoints. Worst Michael Connelly book I’ve ever listened to. I just hope we get a real Harry Bosch book next year.

It’s like COVID
This is my first review ever, this is because for the first time ever I wish I did not spend the credit. This book was pretty tough to get through. I have listened to every book in this series multiple times and love it. However, this book kinda sucks. Between the harping every 15 minutes about vaccinations and masks, the awkwardness of Christine Larkin, the fact Bosch maybe has about an hour of being part of the story, and etc. Titus Welliver is the only real highlight in this book. However, as a whole It just fell so short it was disappointing. I think this book is kinda like COVID, pretty terrible, but hey at least you got some stimulus packages.

Definitely a Skipper!
Something has seriously happened to the way Connelly writes. Although, it could be the voice of Lakin or the mono way she reads. That said, Titus can make you skip Chapters too! All in all, I have not enjoyed the whole Ballard/Bosch reads. Maybe Connelly will get it and find another female narrator if he continues with the Ballard character. Please, Michael….. tell me you are NOT replacing your crime/detective writings with Ballard/Lakin. Stop the bleeding!!!

political dialog
several points of unnecessary comments about political points involving Jan 6th, George Floyd and the outgoing president... very disappointing. Will not be buying anymore of the series, I read books to get away from that stuff and to gonon a journey....not to hear about people's political views That was a big part of this story...

Continuous infomercial for C19 and the jab
We hear it on the radio and on TV, now we can’t get away from the propaganda in our books. Give us a rest! The incessant promotions of masks and fear has ruined the book. I am struggling to finish it.

Good except for the simultaneous narrators
Liking the story, liking both narrators...but having them talking to each other...? breaks the narrative? Not sure how to explain, but in the scenes where Ballard and Bosch talk to each other pulls me out of imagining the scene from each of their points of view. Suddenly instead of an audiobook it feels like a play. Totally breaks me out of the story. I'll just wait for the TV show if I want multiple characters talking to each other.
I'd go 5 stars if the narrators just alternated scenes.

Another masterpiece from one of the best authors out there
The wait is over, The Dark Hours, book 23 in the best-selling and award-winning Harry Bosch series of police procedurals written by the amazing Michael Connelly, is available now for audiobooks lovers everywhere!
I spent all day yesterday listening to this gripping audiobook and I can say that I am once again blown away by the brilliant writing and by the superb narration.
The writing is so good that you will actually see in your mind’s eye every little detail! Mr. Connelly has that uncanny ability to give his readers a glimpse into the officers’ minds, but also into that of the criminals.
With his unparalleled expertise and knowledge of the Los Angeles Police Department, Michael Connelly creates another fantastic story that will stay with readers and listeners alike for a long time.
I am a huge fan of this series, I have listened to all of the audiobooks and I am really glad that the narrative experience is truly immersive with the extremely talented Titus Welliver who plays detective Harry Bosch on the Amazon original series taking the time from his busy schedule in order to be part of this audio production.
Both Titus Welliver and Christine Lakin are doing a fantastic job of bringing to life our beloved characters, Harry and Renee, the city of Los Angeles and its inhabitants. They are just perfect together and the narration is flawless. I approve of this recipe and I hope that we will get to see them interact even more in the upcoming audiobooks.
This is clearly another masterpiece from one of the best mystery crime authors out there! Immersive, timely, captivating, and intriguing, the story hooked me from the first paragraph and it never let go. Although I have finished listening to The Dark Hours late last night, I’m still thinking about what happened and how the investigators handled the cases in which they were involved.
I discovered the Harry Bosch audiobooks more than 15 years ago when they were narrated by audiobooks industry legend Dick Hill and I never missed a new release since then. I absolutely love The Dark Hours and I dread to think that we need to wait at least one more years until the next installment. But luckily we all can look forward to the first season of the new Harry Bosch spinoff series that should be online not in the too distant future on IMDb TV.
The Dark Hours shines and shimmers with beautiful writing, powerful messages, strong and realistic characters, vivid descriptions, and relevant observations about our current situation. Michael Connelly successfully tackles subjects shunned by other authors like racism, politics, or the corona pandemic. Fans of Michael Connelly shouldn’t spend even one second thinking if they should purchase this one!

Too much copaganda
You expect police procedurals to be copaganda but it seemed like every other line was harping on the police being defunded (despite the fact that in reality the LAPD budget was actually increased, but hey it is fiction).

My bad!
I’m a relatively old dude (69) but have been reading and listening to Michael Connelly (Bosch rules,but love Haller,Ballard,etc.) but this latest book is tough to listen to. Is it the Ballard bad acting/reading or a weak story ( no way Michael) or my old age sexism???Probably all of above: I’ll finish it ( and,of course,love me some Titus) but,so far,am disappointed.Sorry Mikey:-)
