Synopsis (Amazon)

LAPD Detective Harry Bosch tackles three tough cases that span a legendary career in this never-before-collected trio of stories.

In CHRISTMAS EVEN, the case of a burglar killed in mid-heist leads Bosch to retrace a link to his past. In FATHER'S DAY, Bosch investigates a young boy's seemingly accidental death and confronts his own fears as a father. In ANGLE OF INVESTIGATION, Bosch delves into one of the first homicides he ever worked back as a uniformed rookie patrolman, a case that was left unsolved for decades. Together, these gripping stories span Bosch's controversial career at the LAPD, and show the evolution of the haunted, legendary investigator he would become.

My Take

From the reviews on Amazon, it seems that die-hard Michael Connelly fans won't particularly like these short stories, because they are short, lacking a bit in character development, and have pretty simple plot lines.

On the other hand if you are looking for some good quality quick reads, then they may hit the spot, as they did for me.

My rating: 4.4

    There are definitely times when a short story collection hits the spot. Thanks, Kerrie

    Many thanks for alerting us to this book. What a pity there's not a paper edition! This sounds to be just my kind of thing.

    Hello Kerrie,

    My name is Richard Simpson and I work for Endeavour Press, the UK’s leading independent digital publishers.

    We publish our books worldwide and have a large team of reviewers in the UK and America and are now looking to do build up a team of reviewers in Australia.

    I noticed that you’re an avid book blogger and was wondering whether you would be interesting in reviewing some of our books for us?

    Although we do not pay our reviewers we can give you free copies of any of the books on our list (you can see our full list of titles at www.endeavourpress.com, and if you sign up to our newsletter you will get weekly updates with our new books).
