“I enjoyed this podcast very much. I did find it easier to identify the different people and circumstances better by having read Jillian Lauren’s book first.”

“Not sure why I’m late to this - but this is an incredible podcast. Amazing to have a journalist turned very successful author put a podcast together, along with his contacts he’s worked with in law enforcement for decades.”

“I was interested in this show but in listening to the first episode I just couldn’t follow the podcast, with there an interruption every few minutes to plug a sponsor.
I know podcasts need to make money but when you have more adverts than there is content then it doesn’t work. There needs to be...”Read full review »

“Painfully slow pace, overly repetitive, too many endless voice clips of detectives or others saying “uh, um, you know” and not getting to the point or even the end of a sentence. Frankly, a bore. These things are not true of Connelly books, but this podcast has become as dull as dishwater.”

“I was introduced to Bosch the TV show by a co worker loved it. I was on a discount flight back from the UK to US for a beloved family member’s funeral. Was in a tiny airport that had a Bosch novel. I have since read all of MC’s books, and now love this podcast.
Can’t thank MC for all of his...”Read full review »

“The production side is very well done from the music, the live interviews and the narration by Mr. Connelly. Recaps of the previous episode at the beginning of a new episode should probably be the rule as sometimes one may go awhile between listening. As per usual, this classic Connelly.”

“Big fan of Michael Connelly as an author - not so much as a podcast narrator. After trying to listen to “The Telltale Bullet,” I had to bail because of the poor sound quality of the courtroom recordings and his narration style. The good news is that I will continue to read his novels but not...”Read full review »

“Really interesting, well put together, it would be gripping if it wasn’t constantly interrupted by ads. It completely ruins the flow; I’m pretty sure that Michael Connelly, with his success, could afford to sponsor the show himself.
Shame to ruin an interesting story with greed.”

“How is this not national news? Connelly’s interviewing of the detectives is superb. The focus on the women that brought this guy down makes one wonder whether men see these victims as throw away humans- but women see them as women.”

“I’m really enjoying the show. I’m on the episode the people vs Pierre Romain. I couldn’t make out the comment by the defence lawyer that is objected to, and the judge admonishes the defence lawyer and tells the jury to disregard. Can anyone tell me what was said?”

“Love true crime podcasts and this is no exception, but, although the narrator is a great writer he should stick to writing, he is very hard to listen to, sounding like he’s reading from a script in a monotone voice. Not sure I can listen to any more of his podcasts.”

“I’ve been reading Michael Connelly for years and love all his books. It was especially neat to listen to him explain his inspiration behind his main characters while the real detectives worked through the case at hand. Truly a must listen podcast, and I greatly look forward to the next season.”

“Just as in Connelly’s excellent novels, his Murder Book podcasts are well paced, informative and dramatic. The haunting story of Sam Little’s predatory path through multiple states and the effort of Mitzi Roberts and others to bring him to justice is told in chilling detail.”
