So this was a really great installment of the Lincoln Lawyer series. Sometimes Connelly gets a little too meta for me though (talking about Matthew McConaughey and who would play Mickey Haller in a movie starring him) but that wasn't too annoying for me. I think the biggest reason I can gush about t...

There are several elements that make this, for me, the best of the Mickey Haller series that I have read so far, and a book worthy of five stars. For one, I really enjoyed the topical aspect of Mickey's foreclosure practice. In this, the reader can learn about some of the issues surrounding the econ...

Another good Mickey Haller book, this one focused on a woman who may have murdered the banker who was foreclosing on her house. There was a lot going on in this book in addition to the court case - organized crime connections, Hollywood wannabes/scumbags, Mickey's complicated relationship with his ...

This book is one of the most self-contained books I’ve read in the past while. By that I mean the plot ties up in its own time without seeming forced, everyone gets their just desserts (in my opinion), and you leave the book feeling resolved, like it ended naturally and completely. Almost nothing in...

I've read quite a few books by Michael Connelly in the last few weeks and have been generally pleased with the story-telling. For the most part, he keeps his readers hooked with a variety of twists that keep you guessing. In the case of The Fifth Witness, Connelly cooks one long string of twists. ...

Surprise, surprise, surprise! No surprise to me that this was a 'blow me away' book since I've loved each and every one of the Mickey Haller series but there were surprises throughout this book. And the end, well there was a surprise on each of the last ten pages. I knew that other reviewers said...

Great book - from beginning to end! My only complaint is that book six is not out yet and now I have to wait... fail!

Bosch makes a cameo appearance as Haller’s half-brother, for what purpose I could not ascertain. I like Connelly very much, especially the Harry Bosch series, and I liked Lincoln Lawyer, which featured Mickey Haller, the lawyer who operates from the backseat of a Lincoln. This book seemed a bit “o...
