This was definetly the best book in the trilogy.

For example, there wasn't a lot of explaining, which meant more action (and I like that!). Chef Hugo came in quickly along with the (spoiler) kiddnapping of Cass' mother. Which gives Cass, Max-Ernest, and Yo-Yoji little time to save her. Thus, the book goes along quickly.

And, Bosch doesent go too in depth with anything, causing questions and suspence! This makes him (or her) a page-turning master. The disadvantage is you may become lost or confused if the topic is not explained throughly. Yet, this book is still the climax of the trilogy!
