Add a CommentI really enjoyed this book. Hands down the best gotcha courtroom scene in all of the Micky Haller series. Connelly weaves a great story and how he ties in other novels is brilliant.
Four stars...
Because...
It's a Lincoln Lawyer novel, featuring protagonist Mickey Haller in his 6th and best novel yet.
Great courtroom drama--and lots of "Haller" type sardonic humour
The gang's all here--including Mick's two former wives, investigator Cisco, half-brother, retired LAPD detective/cold case sleuth, Harry Bosch in a supporting role--ready to assist Mickey defend himself from a charge of murder.
Clever, witty, and steeped in meticulous research by one of America's most popular crime novelists.
And...because It's one of the most enjoyable novels I've read in months.
Skilled storytelling, as is par for the course for Connolly. This is my least favorite in both the Bosch and Haller series. The main focus is on Mickey Haller, and the other characters are relegated to background/supporting characters for the story, and frankly, Haller isn't a likeable enough person for me to have enjoyed this as much as I had hoped to.
Pretty good stuff.... detailed thoughts, words, on how he/one might prepare for court, how it really works, dealing with judges, other lawyers, police, contingency planning, etc...... not a whole lot of loose ends, either. Went very quickly
Great read by Michael Connelly. I always picture Matthew Mcconaughey as I am reading as he was in The Lincoln Lawyer movie. The lawyer talk is a bit tricky to understand for the layman. I enjoyed the book nontheless. My first time reading an eBook from the Cloud Library.
As always, Michael Connelly never disappoints me. I have read all his books. I couldn't put down this book when I started reading it and finished it literally in 1 1/2 day. Look forward to the next one.
Michael Connelly's books are always page turners, and this one is no exception. While I prefer Connelly's Bosch series, this Lincoln Lawyer entry featuring criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller being charged and taken to trial for murder of a former sleazeball client is a good read, and Bosch makes a cameo appearance as part of Haller's team looking for evidence to clear him. Recommended for fans of legal thrillers.
An excuse for a murder mystery. Mr Connelly used a book concept to give us his personal views on none other than Donald Trump and total disdain for those who voted for him. I used to be a fan. We all know the press never lies and I'm assuming Mr. Connelly considers himself in that category. What a waste of ink and paper. Thank you public library for buying this book so I didn't have to waste my hard earned dollar on it.
Great story. Can't wait until Connelly pins his next.
Wow! What a ride. A true winner of a novel! The court dialogues are so interesting and so sharp. Compelling story line. Love the character Mickey Haller; he is always thinking head.. . Felt like I just watched a fantastic movie. Once you start reading the book, the story just reels you right in and you can’t stop until the end. Highly recommended!
