The Lincoln Lawyer (A Lincoln Lawyer Novel, 1) Mass Market Paperback – May 1, 2012

This novel reached the can't put it down stage. Then it was a race to the end, with twists and turns to be marveled at.

Builds in a carefully entertaining way to a blizzard of surprises. So very well-written. I can't wait to read all the rest of Michael Connelly's books!

Love the story

This is the second book in this series that I have read and both have been interesting, fast moving and intriguing. Can't wait to start next book in the series

So good, good writing, good characters, good plot, a complex thriller with a satisfying ending. No gratuitous sex or violence or foul language so hooray for that, too. And now I get to read all the other books in the series!

I "discovered" Michael Connelly last year, when I started reading "The Poet". I must confess I tried to read Concrete Blond, and for some reason just couldn't get into it.Well, that was then, and this is now. By reading the Poet, I got excited about reading again, the way I used to when I first starting reading in my teens. I stayed up nights, because I couldn't go to sleep until I read another chapter.Well, after reading the Poet I read the Narrows the "sequel" to the Poet, and then read Concrete Blond. My Dad, who I turned onto Michael Connelly said, "Read his books in order", and he was so right. I wish I hadn't read Concrete Blond before I read Black Echo and Black Ice, but everything he writes as far as I'm concerned is GREAT.So when Lincoln Lawyer came out, and it was a "legal" thriller, which I do like by some authors, I thought I would not be able to like it as much as I have his other books. WRONG. Its a great book, another night of losing sleep, because of his little twists and turns that he always has in his magnificent books. It is just another GREAT Michael Connelly book and now I hope he brings Lawyer Mickey back, because I could love him like I do Bosch.This book starts out with you thinking one thing, and then changing your mind about 2 or three times about guilt or innocence of certain people, etc. It still have that bit of mystery and it doesn't really have too many more court scenes than some of his other "mystery" books, its just another book about a lawyer instead of a cop, but a lawyer that only is different and edgy because of Michael Connelly's great characters.Yes, there are different Michael Connelly books that I like a"tidge" better than others, but I have NEVER not loved every book I have read from this great author. The great thing about him is I have my Dad and Mom, Brother and Sister, and other members of our family trading books, and then when we have a family gathering and talk about the books we have read. We all have VERY different tastes in books, but Michael Connelly has the ability to be one of those rare "universal" authors, that everyone loves to read.He is my favorite author (along with about 2 others), and thank you God, he is prolific, and I hope he stays that way.If you have read ANY of MC's books and Liked them, then you will love Lincoln Lawyer, even though I thought, "Oh, this might be a book I won't like as MUCH". Wrong, I loved it, because I realized that once again he is creating a character that I care about, want to hear how he is doing, and I'm hoping he's going to have another book about Mickey in the very near future, and I love his Bosch character and loved McCaleb.He just never disappoints. His writing and his books have made me truly love reading the way I used to, but as I kept reading, I got pickier and pickier, and knew immediately when I liked a certain book, and didn't bother finish reading these books.I have written to Michael Connelly for giving me back a "fresh"look at the mystery genre, which has ALWAYS been my favorite, but I LOVE reading again, and STILL have a few more books to read of Michal Connelly and my only wish is that he keeps writing as many books as he has been. PLEASE Michael, I needyour books, and thanks for letting me remember why I lovedreading, it is a joy and not something to just get through, and I love that feeling of not be able to sleep, until you finish ONE more chapter!So, read Lincoln Lawyer, its itching for a sequel, and I hope there will be one in the near future!Take care and good [email protected]

Very intricate plot. Many of the Los Angeles police and lawyer types from the Bosch series. The author starts another gold mine series.

Ottimo

This is by far the best work of Michael Connelly. It is fast, edgy and the plot twists will get to the reader. Depiction of the courtroom drama is sublime and for someone who is a huge fan of Harry Bosch, I couldn't bring myself to admit that it's a Micky Haller book that got to me.

From page 1 onwards..unputdownable....Will definitely read more of his books...Loved Bosch the TV series too...Will read those too

Interessante per chi ama legal thriller. Scritto in prima persona coinvolge

Es un buen policiaco a leer los fines de semana, o durante las vacaciones; una vez que lo empiezas no quieres dejar de leerlo....
