Quick and to the point

Good little taste of Bosch. I like that you get thrown right in and just run with it for a bit

Blue on Black is one quick little idea Connelly had that probably wasn’t enough for a whole typical Bosch novel. This was so short that paying for it was not a good value but it is still fun to read an idea from Connelly despite the length.

Was not engaging in any way. I think it was a little too short.

A super short story where Bosch teams up with Rachel Walling to find the bodies of a serial killer. I think it could have been done much better. It's a straightforward story, with nothing in it. Enough said, that's what the short reads like.
