The Brass Verdict
The Brass Verdict | Michael Connelly
19 posts | 73 read | 10 to read
When down-at-heel lawyer Mickey Haller gets the news that his old colleague Jerry Vincent has died, he also gets an unexpected windfall. Jerry had left instructions that Mickey should inherit all of his clients - putting Mickey's stalled career back on track at a stroke. Not only that, but Vincent was about to go to bat for Walter Elliott, the Hollywood mogul accused of brutally slaying his wife and her lover, in a trial that promises big fees and an even bigger place in the media spotlight. If Mickey could find the magic bullet and win that one against the odds, he'd really be back in the big leagues. The only problem is that Vincent was murdered, shot at close range in his office garage. And the detective handling the case - a certain Harry Bosch - is convinced the killer must be one of Vincent's clients. Suddenly Jerry Vincent's legacy is beginning to look more like a poisoned chalice, and Mickey is faced with the biggest challenge of his career: how to successfully defend a client who might just be planning to murder him.

Fun, a little silly, with a scene so reminiscent of old Scooby-Doo cartoons, I almost laughed out loud. It's not great literature, but I really do enjoy this series (or these series, as I guess it's sort of more than one interwoven). Connelly does write interesting characters.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. The Lincoln Lawyer was the book that initially got me hooked on Connelly, so I was very excited to revisit Haller, and doubly excited to see Bosch also prevalent. A fast paced courtroom drama with ample twists and intrigue. 👌🏽

I‘m liking these as much as Bosch, speaking of which he was in this one a lot 😁
Good, twisty legal thriller 👍🏻

Book #2 in the Lincoln Lawyer/Michael Haller series. I was wrong in my previous review, Haller & Bosch aren‘t opposites...their flip sides. They both have it in their blood & put their everything into it. The two come face to face in this one...not to miss - very important in understanding their future relationship.

#LilithJuly I just finished reading this, and I really enjoyed this sequel to The Lincoln Lawyer. Mickey Haller is thrown back into being a full-time #Criminal defense attorney when he's assigned to take over the practice of a lawyer who died. One of his cases is the high-profile case of a Hollywood big-wig.

Not my typical read, but my husband just finished reading it and really liked it, so he thought I might like it also. I'm a few chapters in, and already intrigued. #coffeeandabook

My husband doesn't read much unless he finds a book he really likes. He found this one in a used bookstore the other day, and is really enjoying it so far! It's nice not having to read while he watches tv, lol! 😂

TheSpineView My husband does not read. So I totally get the TV thing. Sometimes I would just like to throw the thing out the door! 5y
jen_the_scribe My husband doesn't read at all. He'll listen to audiobooks and stories on YouTube, but doesn't enjoy reading. He enables my book addiction though lol. 5y

bookworming My boyfriend doesn‘t read (he also has dyslexia so I feel like that has to do with it). He‘s always watching YouTube 😪 (edited) 5y
laur89 I can relate! My boyfriend doesn‘t read anything but the occasional Marvel/DC comic book, so movies/shows/video games have become regular background noise during reading time. 😩 5y
Elizabeth2 My hubby is not a regular reader either. On the rare occasions (maybe once a year) that he does read, I feel like he finally gets how annoying all of the interruptions are when reading. But he certainly forgets between books. 🤷‍♀️😉 He‘s talking about taking a book on vacation this year. 👍🏻 5y
