bookappeal 's review for:
The Gods of Guilt
by Michael Connelly
The main appeal of Connelly's series featuring Mickey Haller is the main character and the legal detail. Mickey is a down-to-earth guy. He isn't perfect (though, in this case, he doesn't make a single mistake!) and his personal life is often a mess. "The Gods of Guilt" refers to the members of the jury but also to Mickey's personal demons. His choices have had unintended consequences and driven a wedge between Mickey and his daughter. And now he's been hired by someone convicted of killing one of Mickey's former clients. The workings of Mickey's ragtag legal team are interesting, as are the courtroom details, which are many. The timeline and multitude of characters make this a slightly more challenging read but Mickey's complicated personality wins out.
