Gripping listen!

Great book, great performance by @PeterGiles. the story is gripping and the voice performance easy to follow characters.

Good story, awful performance dude

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

The story is very good, but I could not get past the performance. It sounded like it was being read by a teenage mutant ninja turtle or Keanu Reeves in point break - Just awful for the story being told.

What did you like best about this story?

It was an intriguing tale, like The Lincoln Lawyer it had twists and turns and a few good laughs and kept me interested.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

In every way - there was no redeeming quality

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Probably, yes

Any additional comments?

I think the book should be re recorded with a different performer.

Another great book for Michael Connelly.

The second book of the Mickey Haller Series is almost as good as the first. I have already downloaded another book from Michael Connelly. I think anyone considering this book should listen or read the The Lincoln Lawyer first.

I almost skipped this book due to bad reviews in relation to the Narrator and while in my opinion he is not as good as Adam Grupper, the narrator of the first book in the series 'The Lincoln Lawyer' , he is still quite good and I did not find his voice annoying at all. His deeper voice suited the portrayal of some of the characters nicely.

Love this series!

Having seen the movie The Lincoln Lawyer and then decided to read the book, I was so happy to see that there were a few other books in the series with Michael Haller. Bought them all! Great stories, characters and impeccable narration. Looking forward to the next one as soon as I am done with the previous one in the series. Will be sad to reach the final one!

Another Winner

The Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly is his twentieth book and I have read them all. This book brings together Connelly's two famous characters: Detective Harry Bosch and attorney Mickey Haller. Haller returns to the courtroom after a long absence to take on the case of a Hollywood mogul accused of murder. The mogul's first attorney turns up dead, and Haller is assigned to the case. But it gets a bit sticky when it looks like the killer is now after Haller, and Det. Bosch shows up to "protect" Haller, even if it means botching up his case. I've never read any of Connelly's books before, and I'm not normally a fan of this type of fiction, but Connelly sucked me in from the first page with his masterful dialogue and action scenes. Haller is a compelling character full of hard-won wisdom and surrounded by intriguing characters. Bosch is a bit of a jerk, to say the least, but I couldn't help liking him as well. Connelly creates terrific scenes with tightly plotted suspense.
