Mickey's a defense lawyer, one of the best in the business, and to switch sides like this would be akin to asking a fox to guard the hen-house. But the high-profile case of Jason Jessup, a convicted child-killer who spent almost 25 years on death row before DNA evidence freed him, is an intriguing one - particularly since the DA's determination to re-charge and re-try him for the same crime, seems doomed to failure.

Eager for the publicity and drawn to the challenge, Mickey takes the case, with Detective Harry Bosch on board as his lead investigator.

Bit too much of a good thing?

Reviewed in Australia on 27 December 2020

Verified Purchase

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.

Great book.

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.

Mickey Haller

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.

Another good Michael Connelly

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!,
Ready to attack the next one

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.

A well thought out plot . A great change from the boredom of Harry Bosch.

Reviewed in Australia on 19 January 2020

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 2018

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?

Bad ending!

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

Yet another late night!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2020

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.

A good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2021

Verified Purchase

I have read pretty much all of Bosch books and they are terrific. I have also read some Haller books, this one is OK, yes just OK. The story is clever, I won't go into plot, intricate and has normal twists and turns, but it just did nt grab me, maybe Micky Haller is not ia in depth character, I don't 'know' him as I do Bosch. But the book os OK

GREAT HALLER/BOSCH BOOK

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2018

Verified 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.
