The Gods of Guilt

By: Michael Connelly

Narrated by: Peter Giles

The 'Lincoln Lawyer' grapples with a haunting case in a gripping thriller from bestselling author Michael Connelly.

Mickey Haller gets the text 'Call me ASAP - 187', and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention.

Suddenly, Mickey's not just trying to get his client off a murder charge, but there is a more personal connection: the victim was Gloria Dayton - his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow. Far from saving her, Haller may have been her downfall.

Haunted by the ghosts of his own past, and with his own guilt or redemption on the line, he desperately needs to find out who Gloria really was and who, ultimately, was responsible for her death.

Another spellbinding Mickey Haller courtoom romp

Connelly is a masterful writer whose awesome skills have never been more effectively applied than in this engaging story of the dangerous fight to set an (almost) innocent man free.

Having produced thousands of voice-overs, I'd have to rate Peter Giles up there with Humphrey Bower as one of the best narrators (actors) I've ever heard.

Superb writing. One of the best

Excellent story and kept me hanging in there all the way to the end. Great story writing and wonderful characters.

Outstanding Connelly

The ins and outs of political and legal battles faced by Haller in his defense of his client.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Absolutely. The plot is full of unexpected but credible twists and turns.

What about Peter Giles’s performance did you like?

Actually, I wasn't overwhelmed by his performance. He does a very good job using different voices but tends to be whiny.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It just kept me on the edge of my seat.
