I Love Michael Connelly's Writing Style. I First R
I love Michael Connelly's writing style. I first read City of Bones and was introduced to Harry Bosch leading me to read every other novel.
The Lincoln Lawyer features a different main character, Mickey Haller. A quirky lawyer who works out of the back of his Lincoln car he gets pulled into a seemingly clean cut case with a high profile client. The story telling is taut and the pace is at times rocket fast. From my apprehension about a new main character not having the same pull as Bosch was soon dispersed after about 10 minutes reading the book. Perfect for escaping the daily commute.

Criminal defense lawyer Mickey "THE LINCOLN LAWYER" Haller makes the rounds of courthouses defending some of the dregs of society. His mobile office is the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, in which he works up a case while a lowlife client drives the vehicle.
However, Michael has the ideal client, someone with money who can pay for his services. Beverly Hills realtor Louis "Hard Case" Roulet has been accused of brutally assaulting a woman; Louis claims he is innocent. In spite of his dad's dire warning that the innocent make the worse clients, Haller takes on the case seeing dollar signs and an easy win. When a friend associated with the case is murdered, Michael wonders what he has gotten into as his father's prophecy proves right, but there is no way out except seeing the case to its conclusion.
Though no Bosch, except his indirectly being related to Mickey, THE LINCOLN LAWYER is a terrific legal thriller headlined by a fabulous attorney and strong secondary players especially his filter Gloria, his current client, and those who drive him to pay off debts. The exhilarating story line is literally driven by the cast though there is plenty of action. Fans will enjoy Michael Connelly's latest tale starring an attorney trying to climb up the food chain, but finding the ooze underneath a lot warmer and safer.
