Rating: - Another good effort......
In an interesting twist, Connelly puts two of his stand-alone characters into the same novel : Detective Harry Bosch and struggling lawyer Mickey Haller. Haller inherits a number of cases from a lawyer friend who has been murdered. One such case involves defending a Hollywood mogul accused of murdering his wife and her lover.

This book is as good as Connelly's better novels, but is unlikely to be regarded as his ... Read More
Rating: - A Good, Fast-Paced Mystery!
Connelly's The Brass Verdict brings together two of his most interesting characters -- Mickey Haller (from The Lincoln Lawyer) and Det. Harry Bosch, with Haller being the primary character. The plot involves defense attorney Haller back in the courtroom after a two year hiatus. This comes about after Haller inherits the practice of a former colleague who is murdered. Part of this inheritance results in Haller's biggest case yet -- the defense of a prominent movie studio executive accused of murdering ... Read More
Rating: - Back to his best.
The pages just fly by and before you know it you are on the last page.
His best book in my opinion was The Lincoln Lawyer and this follow up is up there with it.
Rating: - My verdict is a five star.
The fact that Harry Bosch was about to meet Michael Haller was heavily advertised, leaving the author's many fans anticipating another great book from one of the best crime writers currently at the top of his game.
This book hits the spot. I thought 'The Lincoln Lawyer' brought an exciting and intriguing new character in the form of the lawyer, Mickey Haller to the front line. Connelly repeats this and the added bonus of pulling Harry Bosch into the equation is masterful.
Rating: - Brass Verdict Wow
I started reading this book with some doubt. While browsing over the contents of a bookshop shelf especially checking if I had missed any of Connelly's books (not on your life)The dork standing next to me said 'He gets killed in the next one' I walked away thinking no way. Not Bosch not Haller. Unthinkable. However I have just finished the book and can only say that Michael is supreme. His obvious extensive knowledge of the judicial system in the USA made the book so in depth. Without going into the plot ... Read More
