Two Kinds of Truth is written using a third-person, limited omniscient narrator, which exclusively follows Harry Bosch through every scene. Not only is Bosch present in every scene of the novel, but he is the narration's primary focus in every scene, and Bosch is the only character whose internal thoughts and feelings are shared with the reader. This technique creates suspense throughout the novel, as the reader does not have extra or privileged knowledge on top of what Bosch himself knows.
