But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent's killer may be coming for him next.

• Redundancy
01 January, 2010
The book should be called "Redundancy". pg. 26 "I had never met Judge holder before" pg. 27 "I don't believe we have met before, have we?" pg. 46 "I was sure I had never met the man before." Who proof reads these books? I may or may not go on to page 47.

• `a Trial Is A Contest Of Lies.'
26 December, 2009
When LA lawyer Mickey Haller gets the news that his old colleague Jerry Vincent has been murdered, he also inherits all of his clients, including Walter Elliot, a Hollywood studio boss.
Elliot has been accused of murdering his wife and her lover. This is going to be a high profile trial, with big fees and plenty of media coverage. If Mickey can win this one, his career will be firmly back on track. The problem is that Vincent was found murdered in his office garage and the detective handling the case, Harry Bosch, believes that the murderer must be one of Vincent's clients.
The Lincoln Lawyer was my first Connelly novel, and I was delighted that this one also features Mickey Haller. There's plenty of court and police action in this novel and while Harry Bosch and Jack McEvoy both appear, it is Mickey's novel. I found the presence of Harry a distraction, and was irritated by aspects of his involvement in the story.

• More Like Tin
31 December, 2009
Having loved "The Lincoln Lawyer", I was excitedly awaiting the follow-up, but this book is a light-weight effort by Connelly. Harry Bosch is less than a supporting character and where is the Mickey Haller with wife, girlfriend, daughter and complicated relationships with all three? Unnecessarily long, the last 100+ pages use a 'voice-over' narration like bad movies by Haller in order to explain the plot's solution and bring this over-rated book to a close. Where is the Connelly from the Black Echo, Ice trilogy or even The Poet? Like The Narrows, Connelly is living off of his reputation.

• Another Hit From Connelly
15 February, 2010
Michael Connelly has another bestseller with "The Brass Verdict;" a very satisfying novel that introduces two of our favorite protaganists to each other: Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch. Mickey Haller is returning to the pratice of law after taking a year off. He "inherits" an entire practice from a colleague who had been murdered. Of all people, Harry Bosch is the investigator assigned to the murder case. With two such strong personalities, Haller and Bosch are sure to conflict. Although Connelly never seems to write anything but winners, "The Brass Verdict" shoots a bulls-eye.

• Not Really A Harry Bosch Book--but Still Very Good.
02 March, 2010
Mickey Haller was first introduced as a Connelly character in Connelly's last effort, Lincoln Lawyer, and is the primary character in The Brass Verdict. The Brass Verdict is a courtroom drama, and, like Lincoln Lawyer, I would compare it to early John Grisham plots.
In the Brass Verdict, Haller comes back from a year long hiatus to take over the practice of a murdered colleague. He finds himself in the middle of a high profile case and scrambles to get up to speed given his new client will not consider postponing the trial. Harry Bosch, the star of many of Connelly's earlier books, and Mickey cross paths as Harry works to solve Mickey's former colleague's murder and Mickey himself begins to fear he is a target for the murderer.
My only complaint about The Brass Verdict is that Harry plays such a minor role. It probably is a little disingenuous to promote The Brass Verdict as a Harry Bosch book.
