Critics Review

  • The Night Fire is further proof of Connelly’s undimmed creativity. Juggling a characteristically crowded storyline, Connelly demonstrates once again why he is held in such esteem

    Financial Times
  • Taut cop thriller

    Love It
  • Advanced and interwoven with characteristic meticulous craft

    Sunday Times
  • Michael Connelly is the greatest American crime writer of his generation. The tension builds from the first page. Past and present collide as three cases ricochet off each other in surprising ways

    The Times
  • A cracker of a thriller, packed with surprising twists and turns, and seamlessly bringing together all of Michael Connelly’s compelling lead characters, allowing each to shine in their own particular way.

    Irish Independent
  • Connelly has few equals as a thriller writer and it speaks volumes for the world he has created for Harry Bosch […] The Night Fire is masterfully structured and a dizzying array of plot lines dovetail in a hugely enjoyable and satisfying series of finales.
