Summary

A brand new Harry Bosch short story from bestselling crime writer Michael Connelly.

When the department's sorter takes a call from an anonymous witness to a cold case murder, she takes it straight to Harry Bosch who finds the accused in San Quentin. He's locked away for a different murder but only a few months away from a parole hearing which is likely to see him walking free. New methods find DNA on the murder weapon but having sat in an archive for 20 years, it's not strong enough to take to court. To keep him behind bars, Bosch has no choice but to find the witness who doesn't want to be found.

Where's the rest of it?

What would have made Switchblade better?

Sadly I've been charged 1 credit for just 48 minutes!

Where's the rest of it?

Seems to be a rip off by audible.

1 Credit and less than 60 mins?

So unless I am mistaken £7.00 for 50 pages………I know it probably states all this but still seems a rip off.

Shameful Audible practice. Charged for a 2 chapter sample of the main book - not cool

There is nothing wrong with the book. What I’m objecting to is Audible charging me for a sample (2 chapters) from the main book - bad business practice. Audible need to reinstate my credit.

Not very entertaining. A weak collection of short

Not a very audible book. Collection of weak short stories well bellow the standard of story and telling expected from the author

A very expensive 45 minutes

Whilst I did my homework and knew I was purchasing a short story, I still feel short changed by this purchase. 2 chapters of a very forgettable story that ends before you have a chance to become interested or let anything get fleshed out.

Excellent Narration

The narration is excellent and conveys the struggle law enforcement have in dealing with cold cases.

My gripe with many (not all) short stories however, is the author doesn't give a proper closure on the plot or want to deal with the ending.

Excellent narration and good storyline

Very short but enjoyable, especially the pace and contrasting characters voices.
Bosch stories tend to be complex so a slower narration helps a lot.
