Our view
“The Burning Room” gives Harry Bosch two investigations at once and keeps both of them interesting. Some readers are glad that the cases stay separate instead of being forced into one, though they place the book a step below the earliest volumes and find it bittersweet. To others, Bosch’s career seems to be nearing its close.
