A really quick read, provides fun (and non-essential) background for Angelmaker.

Edie Investigates was the perfect answer to a long layover this past week. As a prelude to Angelmaker, it effectively presented characters I want to know more about. It also gave hints of a world that I intensely want to explore. Highly enjoyable prose as expected from author Nick Harkaway. This short novella whet my appetite for more while leaving me sufficiently satisfied with the story it had to tell.

A great short story companion to Angel Maker. If you liked Angel Maker you'll want to make sure you read this. Even if you haven't read Angel Maker, it's a good sampling of what you're missing out on.

Wonderfully rich writing (which seems to be Harkaway's forte). Alas, too short! Would be four stars+ if not for the abrupt ending that made it feel unfinished. We need more Edie! Please? (My favorite character from Angelmaker.)

Edie!!!! The whole time I was thinking she sounded familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it until I saw a mention to Angelmaker. Ah Edie, still a bad ass. I would read her hey day shenanigans in a heartbeat.

I really wanted to like this short story considering the tie-in with Angelmaker, but it fell flat and didn't add much to the world.

Meh - it just got started at the end.
I would rate it better if it were the first chapter of a book. But it's merely pretending to be a short story - too many things started that beg being finished or expanded on. Good writing - just didn't feel like like a nicely constrained short story.
