The 3 stories are interesting, but the narration is a bit off.

A collection of three Harry Bosch short stories that were all quick entertaining reads.

I've read a lot of people complaining about the fact that it's a very short book and how a third of the book is just previews for other books. I guess I don't feel put out by my purchase of this book because I recognize it for what it is. It is a collection of short stories that were previously only available in another format, be it a magazine or story collection. I don't want to buy a book of 10 police stories when I'm only interested in Connelly's Harry Bosch story. This allowed me to read three stories about a character I enjoy without having to hunt down old collections or out of print magazines. For me it was money well spent and showed a bit of Harry's past that I didn't know about having finished the first six books. I enjoyed it.
This was probably the better collection of the two Harry Bosch mini-story collections. The other book being Angle of Investigation.

I really liked these stories -- which seem almost like ideas that Michael Connelly realized weren't robust enough to turn into novels. If each Harry Bosch novel is a big budget Hollywood movie, these stories are the serialized police procedural television show. They also fill in little gaps in Harry's career that are alluded to in the novels.

Weird that these seemed totally out of order. Guess it doesn't really matter.
