![The Gods of Guilt (Haller 5) (Mickey Haller) by [Connelly, Michael]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Ni4IxEyVL._SY346_.jpg)
You don't need to be a Michael Connelly to pick up his books. Every story stand alone, but for those who are fans there are sometimes morsels which link other stories. They are always a delight to find. Connelly built his fame by taking us inside the head of detectives and forensic investigators and FBI officers. Then came The Lincoln Lawyer where Connely showed he could just as easily take us inside the head of a defending lawyer. He has shown his writing and research capabilities once again with this story. The gripping story was maintained while addressing the age old questions we public have about defence lawyers. To my mind, defence lawyers around the world should be thanking Connelly for raising their credibility above used car salesmen and crime reporters. :)
This book shouldn't give you nightmares but does make you think. Any crime reader will enjoy the read as you are continuously trying to guess where the case will go.
Review
Smart-talking defence attorney Mickey Haller is the second of the masterful creations of the 57-year-old Connelly - after his unforgettable Detective Hieronymus 'Harry' Bosch.Haller first appeared in 2005 and this is his fifth incarnation. It underlines the fact that Connelly is one of the great crime writers, a novelist who creates a fictional world so succinctly, and inhabits it so purposefully, that you are convinced it must be real. His mastery of place and character, his ease with dialogue, his control of plot gives his books a subtlety that is irresistible (DAILY MAIL)
Michael Connelly is best known for his 'Bosch' series of LAPD prodedurals, but he's created an even better character in sleazy defence lawyer Mickey Haller ... Connelly probes justice and guilt, and the lengths people will go to in fluid, addictive prose. (CATHOLIC HERALD)
