Well this the 3rd in the Mickey Haller series and while I enjoyed the first 2, I found "The Reversal" a bit slow for my liking. I also found it fairly predictable. Maybe I need to give the Mickey Haller series a rest for a while. I may revisit in the future but sometimes you can get too much of a good thing. 3 1/2 stars for me.

I am up to Angels Flight in the Bosch series, and just finished The Reversal: the third in the Micky Haller series. I just love the combination of Bosch and Haller. Two strong characters. I also enjoy Mr Connelly's description of Los Angeles. My Australian son lives in West Hollywood, and having infrequently visited Los Angeles it is nice to be reminded of the geography and character of the place.
It gives me a warm feeling to know there are many more Connelly books for me to read.

I like Haller as a character and still feel Connolly’s first book, The Lincoln Lawyer, is still the best in this series. This book was good reading and also featured Harry Bosch. Entertaining.

Michael Connelly never lets me down. I have read all of his books - some more than once. They hold your attention from cover to cover. My husband knows when I am reading his books because I can't put it down! It is suspenseful without all the bad language and sex and gore of some other writers. Can't wait for the next book!!

By combining Haller, McFierce, and Bosch, Michael wrote his most exciting book yet. Don't stop Michael!,

If you like courtroom drama and a good story attached, this is the book for you. My favourite author used to be John Grisham but now I think it is Michael Connelly.

It was just a damn good read. There was no way one could foretell the twist at the end. Connelly concealed the killer's tracts very cleverly. I will read a few more of the Lincoln Lawyer books, based on my pleasure with this one.

Good story development throughout and I could see it all in my mind's eye. The mix of characters and their interactions was built well. I didn't see that conclusion coming! I am looking forward to reading the next book.

Typical Connelly, lightweight but enjoyable
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2018Verified Purchase
Harry Bosch 16 or Mickey Haller 3, the second collaboration and a much better book than the first - the Brass Verdict, I think. It is still a mainly court room set drama with Harry doing some investigating but, refreshingly, not related in any great detail. Unlike the last book the minutiae of American legal procedure is, thankfully, unexplored but we do get a glossary of legal terms at the end of the book and those terms underlined in the text. Moreover, in this enhanced edition, are several videos and photographs plus one of the author discussing the ending. The first two added very little and the third a bit pointless. The courtroom scenes are handled very well apart from the little explanations of what impact the questions and answers have had - let the reader discern that from the writing! The plot is paper thin and the case so easily won it is almost not worth bothering but the whole is very very readable and if you read it quickly that does not matter though all plot lines do just peter out apart from Harry’s who is left with a handful of unexplained child disappearances for him to agonise about - in another book?

Yet another late night!

I read this book until 1:00am and only gave up when I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer, I’ve just finished it today. I love Harry Bosch detective stories and although this includes him it is based mostly around his half brother Micky Haller a defence lawyer crossing to the prosecution side. Lovers of detective/court room dramas will enjoy this book immensely.

Bosch and Haller part two
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2013Verified Purchase
The reversal sees Michael Connelly pair up his two most successful creations Detective Harry Bosch and defence attorney Micky Haller for the second time. In the previous book The Brass Verdict Micky Haller is the star with Harry appearing numerous times. In the Brass Verdict the two are forced to work together to uncover a killer that may be linked to a case that Micky is the lead defence on at the time. The story is told from Mickey's point of view and for that book it worked very well. This book however is much more a fifty/fifty split. This story is told by both of the half-brothers and the idea of alternate chapters featuring Bosch and Micky works very well as it keeps the story moving at a very fast pace.
At the start of this book new DNA evidence sees the release of a convicted child killer. After twenty four years the DNA found on the victims dress is shown to belong to someone other than Jason Jessup who is the convicted killer that has always claimed his innocence. This new evidence is enough to secure a retrial but the district attorney and the police are still convinced of Jessup's guilt. In an attempt to show independence from the original trial and the department Micky Haller is hired to prosecute the case. Despite his reservations Micky agrees but only under certain conditions one of which is the role of his ex-wife as second chair and Harry Bosch from the LAPD as his lead investigator.
As good as the Brass Verdict was this book is another step up. Both lead characters are shown in a different light to previous books. Haller is a defence attorney by trade and finds the swap to the prosecution table and the extra pressure that comes with it hard to handle. Harry is also in a different situation. Not only is he working alongside his half-brother but recent changes in his personal life mean that Harry sees everything in a different way. No longer can he drop everything and go out on midnight surveillances and seeing Harry adjust to this whilst dealing with the pressures of the case is a fun change from the normal.
I found this to be a very, very enjoyable book. The relationship between Harry and Micky is evolving and it is fascinating to see. The complex relationship between Micky and his ex-wife and his daughter is also explored which really added to the book. I also found the case part of the book to be very well done. The complex and sometimes unfair nature of the trial system are highlighted as at times an innocent witness can be attacked and discredited despite the issues highlighted having little or nothing to do with the case. As usual Michael Connelly has written a fast paced and hard hitting novel that evolves two of his main characters in a wonderfully well written way. I would recommend this book to any fan of the crime or legal thriller genre however I would say that to get the best results reading the Lincoln Lawyer and the Brass Verdict would add to your enjoyment. The book would work well without the previous two but I feel that reading them will add more to your understanding and enjoyment of this book.

GREAT HALLER/BOSCH BOOK
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2018Verified Purchase
I have just read the review by 'Buster' - doesn't he/she realise that The Reversal is book 3 in the Mickey Haller series and book 16 in the chronological order of Harry Bosch books. Do some research about the books you re reading before slagging this brilliant author off.
This book is as good as all the other Bosch/Haller books, I love all the twists and turns and the 'logical thinking' applied which sometimes I wish I could apply to my life :). I'm reading the whole Bosch series all over again having read them some years ago to re-aquaint myself with it all so that when I read the new Bosch book I'm on the right page - so to speak.

Normally I like Connelly books, esp Bosch and Haller series and this book had me gripped from the start, great story and characters then BAM! it ends abruptly, leaving you hanging in the air, without finishing the story. Gutted. Ive checked, there doesn't seem to be a follow up. Dreadful end
