The Lincoln Lawyer

To begin with I should say that I read this on the back of the dramatisation on Netflix, which I really enjoyed, however the two are fundamentally different plots. The character is the same with the same life and work philosophy, the Lincolns are there, as are two ex-wives and the daughter but that's about it.

Having said that this is a very fine book. A well mapped out plot, characters who are fully rounded and well described, and you never lose your way. This is the first of several books about Mickey Haller and I'm going to be back for more.

This was a lot of fun

I only read this after I had read all the Bosch novels out at the time, because Bosch is by far my favorite character from Connelly (judging by the number of books he got I am evidently not alone). I like Haller, but I like Bosch much better. I particularly like the endings Bosch gets better. The Lincoln Lawyer was made into a movie, a fact that features in some of the following books. It's something I like, the little nods to our reality.
