Connelly is thoroughly enjoyable if a little predictable. Good to finally get a Haller/Bosch (and McAvoy?) blend

Oh boy! I'm sorry I waited so long to read this one. Granted, I had a lot of books on Mount Toberead, but I really should have known that this would be something special.
The Lincoln Lawyer returns. Mickey Haller, who runs his practice from the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car, is back, suddenly going from zero to hero as he takes over the practice of a comrade unavoidably retired. He's got a big trial coming up and a client who won't accept delay.
Every chapter brings a new complication and some days are very stressful for poor Mickey.
Even more stressful when he finds he has to work with a prickly old cop - a cop familiar to every fan of Michael Connelly's detective tales.
I loved this. The courtroom drama is superb and the tension never lets up. There are twists and conflict and interest with every page. Honestly, I could hardly put this down, and I virtually read it at a sitting.
A few niggles. I found the role of the senior judge very hard to swallow. And the final twist right at the end, hmmmmm.
Oh well, no matter - we'll see more of Mickey Haller, I'm sure!

good story padded out with too much irrelevant detail and dialogue. Adding Harry Bosch in there was just to bring in the fans I think, it wasn't necessary to the story
