Search - The Reversal (Mickey Haller, Bk 3)

Any good legal thriller is full of misdirection and surprise plot twists and this one is no different. Defense attorney Mickey Haller plays prosecutor along with his ex-wife Maggie McPherson, from the DA's office and investigator, Harry Bosch, LAPD. With all these wonderful characters and a crackpot defense lawyer, the roller coaster ride to justice is spectacular. Though the judge did get on my last nerve allowing the defense such leeway. I don't think he would have gotten away with most of his stunts in a real courtroom.

Either way, I plowed through this in one day. I just had to know how it ended. A surprise ending that wasn't really a surprise as it was setup early on if you were paying attention.

I was a little disappointed in Connelly's book - not as good as his others. Very slow through most of the first half, then a rushed consclusion.

Bleah! Really looked forward to another HB thriller. What I got is Harry taking a backseat to Mickey Haller, written in a confusing first/third person narrative and lackluster characters all around. Most of the Amazon reviews loved it, so, go figure...

I really enjoyed this book because of the story and focus on the personal and professional sides of the the prosecution team led by Mickey Haller. The pace and flow of the trial keeps you interested and makes it difficult to put the book down.

Good Harry Bosch & Maggie McPherson legal thriller. Read well and quickly. Good book for Michael Connelly lovers or anyone who likes legal/mystery books.

Michael Connelly has brought to of his best characters together and a great courtroom thriller. Would love to see another Bosch/Haller collaberation.
