As usual Michael Connelly has written a superb book. In this book he introduces us to a new character, Mickey Haller, who is a criminal defense attorney. While Mr. Connelly does an excellent job describing Mickey Haller and his work and methods I must admit I disliked the character. I love the Harry Bosch character so much and I fear that Mr. Connelly may be phasing Harry out and making Mr. Haller his main character. I know Mickey Haller appears in three of the six books written after "The Lincoln Lawyer." For those of you who have not forged a bond with the Harry Bosch character I think you will find this book a good read.
Michael Connelly is a Wonderful Author!! If you like John Grisham & his Court Room Stories, You will Absolutely Love this Book!! Reading this Book prompted me to look for other Books by this Author. I have been enjoying all his Fiction Works!! He has very Colorful but Believable Characters - I can't get enough of them!!
It's a great, fast-paced, exciting legal novel with all the elements for a fun and enjoyable read that you won't be able to put down! I am an avid reader and this is one that I read in a couple of days! I think this is his best book yet. While it was a slow start, a plot twist grabbed my interest and I could not put it down. The ending was awesome, true Connelly...but I don't want to give too much away...read it and you won't be sorry!!
I look for titles by Michael Connelly and particularly enjoy his series about defense attorney Mickey Haller. The title "The Lincoln Lawyer" is a small example of the author's tongue-in-cheek use of words.
