Product Description
Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. 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.
Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent's killer, he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. But as danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work together.
Bringing together Michael Connelly's two most popular characters, The Brass Verdictis sure to be his biggest book yet. (2008)

• Worth The Read! 22 June, 2009
It isn't quite The Lincoln Lawyer, but darn close. 4 3/4 stars. If you liked the first one, you will like this. And, you will get a touch of Connelly's best known character, detective Harry Bosch. Read it.

• Entertaining But Predictable 25 June, 2009
As is almost always the case with "serial bestseller" authors, Connelly has become very predictable and this just another run of the mill plotting. Just past halfway through the book you will figure out the plot (or at least most of it). Connelly tries to cram in a few twists towards the end but they feel rushed and were not really that surprising. If this is your first Connelly read you may enjoy it; if you have read most of his books then there is nothing memorable about this one.

• Great Book! 28 June, 2009
I base my rating on can I stop reading for a break like: eating, sleeping, bathroom visit, etc. I didn't want to put it down, so I took it to the bathroom with me; fixed a quicky TV dinner and ate it while reading, and fell asleep with it.
No book is perfect, so I skimmed the legalese portions when it got too long in the tooth. Would have liked more of the Bosch character... but I enjoyed the book with these minor faults.
The low raters want perfection which ain't going to happen when a human being is the author of a novel or they MUST find fault with any book they pick up off the shelf at the library or buy at a book store.
Compared to some "best seller" authors who live off their past (early novels in their career) good to great stuff (i.e. James Patterson) this was a masterpiece of fiction! Disagree that MC only writes to make money, that distinction is true with Mr. Patterson's newer stuff with his "co-author's" helping him write noncents!

• The Dynamic Dueo --haller And Bosch 14 June, 2009
One of my favorite characters is Harry Bosch, a good-guy LAPD detective with lots of flaws. He's featured in several of Connelly's books including The Lincoln Lawyer and The Black Echo (highly recommended to read as well).
Opening with attorney Mickey Haller back in the courtroom after a two year hiatus. One of the attorneys that Haller would cover for (you know-- sickness, something unexpected happening), is murdered. The Court asks Haller to step in and take over all his cases--one of which is the defense of a studio executive who is accused of murder. The problem is that Haller may be the next target. Enter Detective Bosch who immediately butts heads with Haller. Bosch and Haller have a lot in common and Connelly lets readers in on it for the first time. You know it's coming, but the ride is worth it.
Try one, I'll bet you'll end up getting the rest of the series.
