The Reversal

The story presents Mickey Haller from a very unusual perspective, in the role of a hired prosecutor he puts together his team involving Harry Bosch and his ex-wife Maggie. Determined, and conducting the case independently from the DA office establishment, they dig into the past to get justice for a crime committed in 1986, whose initial verdict was reversed because of new DNA evidence. The strength of the novel is in the development of the characters, their humanity and their professional commitment, the mixing of strong personalities in the pursuing of a common goal, the weakness of human beings whose lives are severed by dramatic events. It is a Connelly's courtroom story constructed as well as usual to make it real to the listener, with no deviations into rhetoric and never trivial. The book is read with passion by the narrator Michael Brandon, and the listener is captured from the beginning into the novel's involving atmosphere.

As a new comer to Audible, I found this book irresistible and could not wait to complete

I think now I have read all of Michael Connelly books - sometimes the authors just don't write quick enough. I loved this book, two of my favourite characters together with lots of tension throughout the story so you could not stop listening. Michael Brandon is excellent with his amazing ability to depict each character so exactly.

The fact that Micky works as a prosecutor for a change. Good to see him working for the good guys.

Micky closely followed by Bosch. Good to see both my favorite characters in the same book.

Great narration, good diversity of voices etc.

Not really. I am a bloke, we don't get moved by stories. Not these types anyway. Its not a love story after all.

Keep em' coming Connolly.

No. Once is enough for most books and definitely for this one.

The history starts well but it unwinds in very forecastable manner.

When one of the defense witness fall apart.

No.
