Awesome read!

Rip off- shame on you for putting in a couple of weak short stories and then a few chapters of a book and that's it. Further more I'd already read the book about "Lucy" and so I know just how little content there is...I want my money back!

Horrible. Book consisted of a couple short stories, very short stories. Maybe I should say a couple of chapters grouped together. A lot of advertising of other books. A big ripoff!

Rip off Second rate stories.. and over 20 pages of "preview" for a different book.

Terse, grim, beautifully written. If you're already a fan, these are great small bites. If you're new, a perfect intro to Connelly's Bosch and the grim Los Angeles he inhabits.

What a huge disappointment. This is nothing more than a dishonest way to charge money for the preview of another novel. The preview was longer than all three stories combined and they could have been written by a fifth grader. Shame on you Michael Connelly!!!!

So disappointing to find myself duped into reading a mildly amusing, but mostly waste of time.

old material in short story format is really a ripoff

This book was a complete ripoff, merely extracting rehashed segments from existing published novels by Connelly and presenting them as new short stories. Bad Gator.

Although the short stories were entertaining, this was a sneaky way to preview a new book that won't be out for more than a month. I feel duped.
