Maggie M. - , reviewed on 2/9/2016 + 400 more book reviews

Defense attorney Mickey Haller is approached by the district attorney and asked to work a case on their side, going after a previously-convicted child killer who has been released due to new DNA results. Even with misgivings, Mickey jumps on board, provided his ex-wife, Maggie McPherson, sits as his second chair. Mickey is still his bad-ass-attorney/detective self, but I was actually a little disappointed with this book from Michael Connelly this time. Detective Bosch works to help Mickey Haller and I did enjoy his portions in the book and while it did have a surprise ending, I felt it left the reader hanging, which of course could have been the author's intent, or it could have been the way this copy was abridged, then again, it could have just been the way the story was written. All-in-all, it was a good story, just not quite up to Connelly's previous excellence.
