The Lincoln Lawyer (Haller 1)
The Lincoln Lawyer (Haller 1) | Michael Connelly
Mickey Haller has spent all his professional life afraid that he wouldn't recognize innocence if it stood right in front of him. But what he should have been on the watch for was evil. Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers - they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence - it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice. A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal - this time to save his own life.

I read this about a decade ago, but decided to read it again and continue the series. I didn't remember much of anything from my first read, so all the twists surprised me. A good, complex mystery. I would have gone right on to book 2 but there's a waiting list on Libby.

I'm not a fan of courtroom dramas, but this one is pretty enjoyable. I also wasn't sure what I'd think of Mickey Haller, but I was pleasantly surprised to find he's a fairly likeable character. It was also fun to see another side of some of the smaller stories from Connelly's other books.

Anybody else kinda stoked for the new Lincoln Lawyer series on Netflix? The movie was great, obviously, but I've always felt like there was plenty of material for a Mickey Haller series so I'm excited. Looks like the plot starts with book 2 (The Brass Verdict) ⚖️

Hell yes, this book is fantastic! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, excellent plot, characters, and pacing. I'm really leaning into my current crime fiction obsession, and so far have not been disappointed. Makes me question how it's possible that I had never read a Michael Connelly before 😱
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can‘t believe I never read this book before. Now it‘s time to watch the movie. Mickey Haller is such a different character then Bosch, the total opposite side for sure. But the storyline, pace, and characters drew me in. I‘m glad there‘s more & it isn‘t just a one-off.

RamsFan1963 @Karkar I got the movie from Nexflix, when they still sent out DVDs lol, but it was badly scratched and kept stopping like 30 minutes into the film. So, I've never seen the whole movie, although I liked the little bit I did see. 4y

chael0910 @Crazeedi Thank you. Yes, the story is so gripping that once you start reading you just don't wanna stop to know what happens next. I remember riding a bus going home. Due to thae fact that it would be a long trip , I pulled out the book from my bag amd started reading it. I was so into the book that I missed my stop ?. I was like, "what just happened?" Anyways, this book is really awesome. Cheer? 5y

Michael Connelly Series Reading Order book by A.J. Stone tells you which order to read Connelly books: 1st Micky Haller series, 2nd Harry Bosch series, 3rd Terry McCaleb, 4th Jack McEvoy @Andrew65

Andrew65 This differs from the Universe order. It is a bit confusing to say the least! Love Mickey Haller as just said on the Poet post. Thanks for tagging me to this. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 as I am a RIO, I guess I will have to get back to Mickey Haller books first. 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB I might do the same and would be no hardship. Which ones in that series have you read? 6y

#jasuary16 @jas16

My favorite literary siblings are Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller. They couldn't be more different, and yet, they are both so similar.

Thanks for this great opportunity. It took me some time to think about which characters I really kept going back to, and enjoyed. These guys were the ones.

Good luck, everyone!

Jas16 Thank you for entering! I have honestly never read any Connelly. Not my usual genre but I should give him a try. 6y
ptkpepe98 It is good stuff, if you don't mind flawed men, murder, mayhem, and even familial love tossed in. 😉 6y

#photoadaynov16 Day 2 Mickey Haller operates his office out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car. This series is really good and ties into Connelly's Harry Bosch series. It's not necessary to have read the Bosch books though, I haven't yet. Also, this was great on audio. #planestrainsautomobiles

The book is almost always better and that's true with this one too. However, the movie is really good as well.

TrishB Have read all the Bosch books but none of these! More for the list. 7y
JennyWren I read it a few weeks ago and then watched the movie. Really enjoyed both 😊 7y

Happy late birthday to Michael Connelly, one of our best chroniclers of contemporary urban life - and a hell of a thriller writer to boot. His books are a big part of my "love from afar" of Los Angeles. (And definitely give Bosch a shot on Amazon if you haven't already!)

Lizpixie I know what you mean about LA. Every time I pick up a Connolly book, I look at maps of the city so I know where I'm reading about. I do the same with New York when reading Fairstein & Boston with Gerritsen. 8y
CaseyMoore Bosch on Amazon is fantastic. 8y
Mayread Oh geez. Now I'm gonna have to read one to see what's being said about my city. 8y
