Our view
“A Darkness More Than Night” hands half of a brooding, absorbing Bosch novel to the profiler Terry McCaleb. Some readers value the result: seen from outside, Bosch shows a darker side than when his own thoughts are on the page. Others, wanting more of Bosch himself, find McCaleb takes up too much room. The book draws on characters from Connelly’s other novels, the reporter Jack McEvoy among them.
