INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES THE LINCOLN LAWYER – THE #1 TV SHOW ON NETFLIX

Defense attorney Mickey Haller and Detective Harry Bosch must either work together or die as they investigate a Hollywood lawyer's murder in this "epic page-turner" (Library Journal). Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent's killer may be coming for him next.

Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent's killer, he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. But as danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work together.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Brass Verdict has the sneaky metabolism of any Connelly book. It starts slowly, moves calmly, hides pertinent bits of information in plain sight and then abruptly ratchets up its energy for the denouement....In the midst of this new story, Mickey rebounds with a vengeance....Like Harry Bosch's mojo, Mickey Haller's is liable to work well for a long time."—Janet Maslin, New York Times

"Connelly is firing on all cylinders in this epic page-turner. The intriguing story line, the chance to view Bosch from another perspective, and Haller's reappearance as a main character add up to a fantastic read. One of the best thrillers of the year."—Jeff Ayers, Library Journal

"The answer to every Connelly fan's dream: Hieronymus Bosch meets the Lincoln Lawyer....By turns wary, competitive, complementary, cooperative and mutually predatory....Connelly brings his two sleuths together in a way that honors them both"—Kirkus Reviews

"Connelly once again hits it out of the park in the tightly written, fast-paced and sharply imagined The Brass Verdict....Connelly builds to some breathtaking twists before all comes to a close. And a more perfect end to the maze he has drawn is difficult to imagine."—Robin Vidimos, Denver Post

"If at first encounter Connelly seems primarily an exceptionally accomplished writer of crime novels, at closer examination he is also a mordant and knowing chronicler of the world in which crime takes place, i.e., our world....Aterrific ride."—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post

"A beautifully executed crime thriller....Bosch might have met his match in the wily Haller, and readers will delight in their sparring."—Publishers Weekly

Nice!

Good story overall and very interesting, but I have to say that I love the background soundtrack. It added another interesting dimension to the listening experience that I throughly enjoyed!

I really enjoyed listening to this.

this was a good story line and not predictable like so many mysteries are. I liked how they found out they were brothers at the end of the book.

Fantastic book if you can overlook the music

I could not remember if I had read this book or not. It seemed familiar but I could not remember the plot, but despite the obnoxious and loud music of the audio version, I was once again addicted to the book from beginning to end. (I did not lower the score because it would have been unfair to the reader. Next book I hope they ditch the music.) I highly recommend the paper version over the audio version.
Michael Connelly’s "The Brass Verdict" is a best seller and I can attest to that having read it and listened to it. It puts together two protagonists: Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch. This is Mickey Haller's story, not Harry's, but Harry is featured in a pivotal way.
Mickey Haller is planning to return to his practice of law after taking a year off when he is summoned to a judge’s chamber to be informed that he has inherited an entire practice from a colleague who has been murdered.
Of all people, Harry Bosch is the investigator assigned to the murder case. With two such strong independent figures, Haller and Bosch are sure to conflict.
Great mystery with two twists at the very end that I did not see coming. One lays the groundwork for future collaborations between Haller and Bosch.

What's with the music!?!?!?!

As always, Connelly writes a compeling and interesting story but I have to tell you that I don't appreciate music as background. Not sure I can even finish it... :(

Good story

The Voice had a bit of SoCal Surfer accent and was a little distracting I preferred the previous narrator

Shan

Great book.
I enjoyed the narration and music sprinkled around. Looking forward to listening to the next one

Great Novel

Saw the Netflix series and now waiting for more additions. This is as good as them plus. Having seen the acting helps add visuals to the characters but does not take away from the excitement.

Absolutely enthralling

Connelly never disappoints…. I have read and will keep reading more of his books. I typically go for the more gothic horrors type genre, but Connelly’s books are absolutely riveting and all encompassing. They are well written and thought out. If you’re looking for a great thriller with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat, then Connelly is your man!

Bad Background

Story was great. The background music and sound effects were annoying to the point that the overall rating was severely degraded.

Twist & Turns

Mr. Connelly has my attention. I will follow the Lincoln Lawyer and Bosch until I complete both series. I enjoy Peter Giles narration and will attempt to locate his work for other novelists. I highly recommend.
