This felt like exactly what it was: An expanded serial.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, it just felt like it should be the first part of a larger set of stories regarding Bosch.
Actually by the time I had finished the book, which takes place over twelve hours, I felt more like I was reading an episode of the television show '24' complete with the terrorist angle to seal the deal.
For Bosch fans this is fine to pass a couple of hours until the next big case comes along, but like having a sundae and only getting a scoop of ice cream, it left me wanting more.
On a side note, and one that's completely fun, Harry leaves his phone number for another character in the book,and you can actually call it and hear his message machine.
In other words, it's a fine Harry Bosch story.

I have read both The Overlook and Echo Park but in reverse order, and I couldn't agree more with your assessment of The Overlook. I can say, though, that Echo Park was a really, really good book! I couldn't put it down!
