Another good Mickey Haller tale!!! It was a good mystery with lots of plot twists. I got a little bored a few times with the courtroom scenes, but overall really liked it! I will definitely continue with the series.
Another very gripping read. While the Bosch books are sometimes hit and miss, I've thoroughly enjoyed the two Mickey Haller books that I've read in the past week. Quick reads, lots of fun.
Haller hits the ground running with a full caseload after another lawyer is murdered. He's had a rough road after the ending of [b:The Lincoln Lawyer|79885|The Lincoln Lawyer (Mickey Haller, #1)|Michael Connelly|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1370140049s/79885.jpg|1427801] and thus he's able to retread certain B-plots from a different angle. One of his new clients is a movie mogul loudly declaring that he's innocent of killing his wife and her lover. Haller builds a competent defense, yet there's a game being played he doesn't see.
It's a little frustrating to see Haller continuously be the pawn. He's a smart pawn, but still finds himself far from in control of his own story.
I love characters that surround Haller, and I like that he manages to "do the right thing," even as he's getting not guilty verdicts for bad people. My mother in law foreshadowed/spoiled a few bits of this, but it was still an enjoyable read overall. I have a copy of [b:The Reversal|7936809|The Reversal (Harry Bosch, #16; Mickey Haller, #3)|Michael Connelly|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1344264202s/7936809.jpg|14180015] on the shelf. It was interesting to see Bosch from a different angle in this book and I look forward to seeing how Haller and Bosch interact in The Reversal.

Great plot. Michael Connelly hasn't disappointed me yet. Detailed accounts of legal system without being too heavy.

Book #17 read in 2015
I chose to read this book because I'm reading the Bosch series by Connelly and this was listed as one in the series. However, this featured Mickey Haller. It was a good read, but not enough Bosch!
