    Here is LAPD Detective Harry Bosch as we've never seen him before, in three never-before-collected stories. In "Suicide Run", the apparent suicide of a beautiful young starlet turns out to be much more sinister than it seems. In "Cielo Azul", Bosch is haunted by a long-ago closed case: the murder of a teenage girl who was never identified. In "One Dollar Jackpot", Bosch works the murder of a professional poker player whose skills have made her more than one enemy.

    What disappointed you about Suicide Run?

    Suicide Run and Angle of Investigation - two short story compilations - were pointless. They are out of context timewise with the series. Each story (less than an hour each) were WAY to short to be anything but pointless.


    What was most disappointing about Michael Connelly’s story?

    That he would waste our time and money on these "stories."


    What does Len Cariou bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    He's a good narrator. His voices and inflection bring out the characters of the stories he does. But he could nothing to save these.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Only to convince me to never buy another short story compilation!

    Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense pro who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, to defend clients at the bottom of the legal food chain. It's no wonder that he is despised by cops, prosecutors, and even some of his own clients. But an investigator is murdered for getting too close to the truth and Haller quickly discovers that his search for innocence has taken him face to face with a kind of evil as pure as a flame.

    Story

    Just finished The Lincoln Lawyer and LOVED it! Didn't see the movie, but the book is terrific. Listened to a couple other Mickey Haller books within the Harry Bosch series, also by Michael Connelly. And based on those, I decided to get the other two Mickey Haller editions. So glad I did. Loved the story and the narration was great. This book was definitely worth the credit.

    Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent's killer may be coming for him next.

    The story had a quick pace and lots of twists and turns. I liked the evolution of the relationship between Harry Bosch and his half-brother, Mickey Haller.

    LAPD Detective Harry Bosch tackles three tough cases that span a legendary career in this never-before-collected trio of stories. Utterly unputdownable, they are proof that "Connelly never stops doling out the suspense.... Once it grabs you in those first few pages, it won't let go of you" (Boston Globe).

    I should have been smarter . . . how much story can there be in a three story compilation that is less than 3 hours long! Disappointed in myself for the purchase!
