Angle of Investigation

Three Harry Bosch Stories

By: Michael Connelly

Narrated by: Len Cariou

Length: 2 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's summary

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. 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).

Impressed? Ace detective Harry Bosch is also on the case in exciting Michael Connelly crime-fiction novels.

I really liked this book.

This book was really nice. Good short cases, solved quickly.
I would listen to this again

short and sweet

I think these came out for those of us who are going through withdrawal.
It worked.

Goes In All Directions

No resolution it seems. Normally love his books. Mediocre at best. Next time perhaps. Yes!

disappointing

the exert from the new story at the end was the best part. voice doesn't match story or character

HARRY BOSCH IS MY HERO

I have read (or listened to) all of the Harry Bosch books. Some of them I have listened to twice. I enjoy the characters and really enjoy Titus Welliver is the perfect fit for the series on Amazon.

Always ready for Michael Connelly and Harry Bosch

Would you listen to Angle of Investigation again? Why?

Fun brief stories from Harry Bosch giving us a better look at his profile and life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Harry Bosch-because everyone is due justice with Harry.

What does Len Cariou bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

He changes his voice and inflections with each character. You always know who is working on Harry's last nerve.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Sorry, have gone on to the new one

Any additional comments?

Thank you Michael for making a wonder and complex character for me to follow through time, sorrows, and success.

Three Short Bosch Stories

very good Bosch Stories. for when you only want a one hour audio. More pinpointed action and somewhat hidden plot that develops with a surprise. Wish there were more like this.

Very good Bosch short stories

Very good Bosch short stories. The last part is the first chapter of a newer book.

Shortened Harry Bosch

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This book is a teaser. Makes you hungry for the real unabridged stories.

What could Michael Connelly have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Dont include a teaser for the next long book. (The Drop) Most of us Bosch fans will buy that on its own. These stories are too short and too pat to be lingered upon which is the joy of following a detective's wandering path.

Which character – as performed by Len Cariou – was your favorite?

Always Harry.

Do you think Angle of Investigation needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I would not suggest this format. The short time given each does not allow the reader to wonder.

Any additional comments?

The Drop is a fine book. This hour long format precludes the reader guessing wrong which is the joy of a good detective writer's work.

Harry Bosch Short Stories

Love Harry Bosch, but these short stories were not my favorite listening. I did Not like the narrator's voice. Very disturbing, graveled, tough to listen to.
