Whew - my heart is still racing from this book. The character interactions between Haller, Bosch and McPherson are fantastic, the court case is intriguing, and the legal wrangling is clever and fast-paced. I literally couldn't put this one down! I've read the Bosch and Haller series totally out o...

I didn't really like the technique of first person Haller and the third person Bosch. It seemed pointless and irr...

The Reversal by Michael Connelly is another in a series of terrific pieces of contemporary crime fiction by this author. The Reversal gives us the bonus of two fascinating main characters. One of them is the police investigator Harry Bosch, and the other is defense attorney-turned-prosecutor (for t...

Took me a bit to get through this although I have taken into consideration i wasnt reading 1 book but 3. The Lincoln Lawyer, The Brass Verdict and finally The Reversal. I am a fan of court trial themed films but had never actually read any books on the subject. Well I glad that author Michael Connel...
