Super what an excellent read
I am a big Connelly fan. I read the earlier Bosch & Haller books in paper (sometimes hardback) and have recently replaced all to a digital version and have read the entire series again. Some are better than others much the same as a Grisham but Connelly is an amazing story teller. There is no doubt about that. Seems familiar, easy to read and hard to put down. This book is no exception and even better with both Bosch and Haller working together rather than just dipping into each others lives. My other half laughs at me as he has to remind me that Bosch is not a real person. I beg to differ as he has come alive through the series of books and over the years we have all got to know and love him.I loved the theme of the book with helping the underdog and the book grabs your attention from the first chapter. I wanted to keep reading to see how the story unfolded and was not disappointed with the end result. Through the writing you can tell that Harry and Mickey are very different in personalities and how they see the world especially around police and legal matters. Bosch has not forgotten who he is at the core retired or not a true police detective at heart, he stays loyal to his principles.Nice to see Ballard making a small appearance. I have not watched the TV series of Bosch but have enjoyed the The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix, probably because its quite glossy. I wasn't sure at first. I wonder what the future holds for Mickey. Can't wait to find out.

A superb read with much loved characters
My first Bosch / Lincoln Lawyer book after watching (and rewatching) the two TV series and I was not disappointed. The characters were now familiar to me and the way they are portraid on screen is the same as in the book.The story is so well together and is not a slog or boring to read. I was shocked how quickly I got halfway through as the flow is so fast I just kept turning the page.I absolutely recommend this book.I have now ordered a load of other books by the author to continue my experience and the great stories of Bosch and Co.

The absolute best writer of legal thrillers
It had to happen eventually – Bosch and Haller finally get together to work on a case. Hooray! Not just the occasional touching of lives that we have had in the past, but a proper – and very fruitful – hand-in-glove partnership.Between Lincoln Lawyer books (and they are few and too sparse) I have read many courtroom dramas. None come close to the mix of authenticity and engagement that Michael Connelly manages to produce.This author manages to keep you informed of the unfolding strategy, whilst holding back on a few key developments so that there is for the reader anticipation and drama in the courtroom. Few authors can pull this off – it is an art, and Connelly is Rembrandt.All of the regular Lincoln Lawyer characters make an appearance in this satisfying story of ultimate justice – Cisco, Laura, Maggie – but with the wisdom and experience of Bosch thrown in the mix the storyline takes on an extra dimension, and Connelly interwove the expertise of each half-brother brilliantly.The behaviour of Mickey Haller continues to include slightly dodgy tactics and an element of rebellion, whilst the character of Harry Bosch continues to be restrained and winsomely insecure. I am looking forward to the day when they are a bit more demonstrative in their appreciation of each other!It will be long time (if ever) before Mickey Haller emerges in a new drama, so perhaps it’s time to start again at the beginning and enjoy his developing celebrity.
