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

The bestselling legal thriller has charismatic defense attorney Mickey Haller taking on a slam-dunk court case involving a Beverly Hills playboy—but as it spirals into a nightmare, he finds himself in a fight for his life.
 
Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers—they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice.
 
A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal—this time to save his own life.

I am a big fan of Harry Bosch series, so my expectations were high for this new new Mickey Haller series. Expectations met! You will enjoy the read . . .

Really enjoyed the story. Narrator was also very positive in bringing out the main character.

Profile Avatar Leigh K Nov 2017

Narrator is great but the story is long drawn out and a little boring.

This is the third time I have listened to the book since it came out in audio format, and I enjoyed it more each time. I have every book Connelly wrote and this is probably one of his best. My only regret is that there are not enough books in this series.

Excellent story and the narrator's voice actually fits the character. I listen to a lot of audiobooks and this one is a standout. Enjoyed it from beginning to end.
