The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael ConnellyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have never read anything by Michael Connelly before but my brother sent me a few books that he'd read and recommended that I give him a try. I chose "The Lincoln Lawyer" and was immediately hooked. It was very good. Not a lot of gore but enough detail to keep the bad characters bad and the suspense pulling at you. The Lincoln Lawyer has the good cops and bad cops (literally) and a main man who you can't help but like despite his personal charachter flaws. I was not able to figure out the answer to the nagging question that was key in the story and was really was surprised in the last 10 pages or so by the swift turn of events.
Connelly has an obvious knack for spinning a tale that is believable while keeping you turning the pages with curiosity about the answer that is just around the corner - then the next corner - then the next...
I look forward to the next book I read by Michael Connelly.
