A review by bookhawk
The Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly

4.0

Connelly is fantastic overall with complicated and nuanced plotting as well as developing complex slightly flawed characters. I have been reading the Harry Bosch universe in sequence and thus far like Harry Bosch best by a reasonable margin over Mickey Haller and Jack McEvoy. The Fifth Witness is a low 4 star and thus still very good. Connelly is clever and strategic, however, that it would not surprise me that he made this one good but defense law unsavory enough to purposely make readers uncomfortable as the Haller piece heads in different directions.
