larsdradrach 's review for:
The Fifth Witness
by Michael Connelly
The fourth Lincoln lawyer novel and the weakest in the series yet.
In the general recession following the sub-prime crisis, Haller is forced to take on repossession cases in bulks to scape a living.
When one of his repossession clients end up accused of murdering a manager in the bank who is threatening to take away her house, he returns to criminal defence.
It’s a classic courtroom suspense novel, which Connelly knows how to write better than most, but it's also defying credibility at places, especially in the actions outside the courtroom.
It's also the first novel in a while without Harry Bosch and I for one, miss the dynamics between the two half brothers.
