"Didn't mean to read this book. Had to give tours at the new Riverton hospital all day with lulls easily of 15 minutes or more and one of the few times I didn't have a book on me, so I ran to the gift shop, and with my choice of Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts books, Michael Connelly was a dead ringer. Crazy enough, I was probably in this type of situation before and picked up his Lincoln Lawyer, and City of Bones, so it was kind of nice to know the main character(s). In fact, this is his only book that combines the two, so it was a fun, fast read.
I call this a beach read and enjoyed it. From what I read it is one of his better ones so I chose well, without even knowing it. Long story short, if you're a Connelly fan, it's a good one. If you're reading for thrills and intrigue, I wasn't on the edge of my seat too much. If I were a nail biter, his Lincoln Lawyer had more of that effect on me than this one. Fun read, though. I did stick with it and read it quickly because it held my interest that way."
"The second in the “Lincoln Lawyer” series by Michael Connelly, The Brass Verdict presents more adventures of the nonconformist, conflicted defense attorney, Mickey Haller. Torn between the love of a job in which he excels and the moral ambiguity, Mick continually walks a tight rope between doing the right thing and doing the ethical thing. It’s a balancing act that seems to keep him hot water with someone all the time.
The ending hints that Mr. Connelly might be ending this series. That would be too bad because this cocky, but moral, lawyer is a nice counterpoint to his tough guy cops."
"Mickey Hatcher is back after being wounded. He's summoned to the judge's office where he learns that his friend and courtroom advesary, Jerry Vincent has been murdered. Hatcher is to take over his cases and the most notorious is that of Walter Elliot, on trial for killing his wife and her lover. Hatcher must put together a defense team to defend this wealthy and dislikable character. Det. Harry Bosch enters the book as the lead investigator of Vincent's murder. He thinks that Hatcher might be the next victim because of what he knows.
The courtroom scene is well done. I felt like I was watching over a juror's shoulder. The character's are likeable and believable. It was nice to see Hatcher's young daughter witness her father's achievements in the court. This added warmth to the plot."
"Let me start by admitting that I am a sucker for Michael Connelly novels. The guy tells stories that I like to hear.
In this case, the story is about L.A. lawyer Mickey Haller, a sometimes successful/sometimes down-and-out defender-for-hire with a lot of talent and a shriveled conscience. His first wife has left him. His second marriage only lasted a few weeks.
All of this is backstory.
In Brass Verdict, Haller inherits a headline case when a legal ally of his is murdered. Haller needs the case and the publicity, the problem is that he's just coming back from a drug-related hiatus and his client insists that he hit the deck running.
This book is especially interesting because it traces the intersection of two Connelly headliners--Mickey Haller and L.A. investigator extraordinaire Harry Bosch.
This book has lots of good information about the L.A. legal system, an interesting murder, and some cool courtroom pyrotechnics.
If you have not read anything by Michael Connelly, it's time to start."
