About this listen

When Mickey Haller is invited by the Los Angeles County District Attorney to prosecute a case for him, he knows something strange is going on.

Mickey's a defense lawyer, one of the best in the business, and to switch sides like this would be akin to asking a fox to guard the hen-house. But the high-profile case of Jason Jessup, a convicted child-killer who spent almost 25 years on death row before DNA evidence freed him, is an intriguing one - particularly since the DA's determination to re-charge and re-try him for the same crime, seems doomed to failure.

Eager for the publicity and drawn to the challenge, Mickey takes the case, with Detective Harry Bosch on board as his lead investigator.

What did you like most about The Reversal?

Best book I've had for a while now - found myself making time to continue until the next chapter and arguing with the characters in the court scene, so I know I was paying attention and getting into the story.
Onto the next in the series!

Excellent story, good twists and well read

Yes, this is a worthy book, keeps your interest all the way through with an eye opening unexpected event before the end. Good job, Mr Connelly.

Gripping

If you like the Lincoln Lawyer and Bosch stories then this book won’t disappoint. It took me a little while to get used to the new narrator but after 1/3 through the book he was Micky and Bosch.
Very well narrated. Highly recommend but would read book one first.

Strong Story with the two Michael Connelly characters working together Micky Hallier and Bosch

To my mind this is Conelly's best yet. Great to see Micky & Harry finally working together and the use of the 1st & 3rd person to illustrate if the part of the story is from either characters view point is really helpful.

Really moves at a pace. Fear and dread for the main characters nearest and dearest is never far away. The last few pages, as it all get wrapped up and the twisted ending is revealed is masterful, leaving you with a real sense of what you imagine, after all is said and done, the main characters are left with.

If you get no other detective novel this year, get this one!

Best yet

What a treat to have Haller and Bosch working side by side on a case. Loved the perspective of Haller getting to work the other side of the table. Peter Giles' narration adds to the tension.

A right family affair..

I always love Mickey Haller, and in this Harry Bosch and Maggie McFierce also have a big part to play. Having been persuaded to act as a prosecutor Mickey is for once a bit out of his depth, but of course rises to the challenge. There's the obligatory bit of personal/family danger. Its a great story, well read, and kept me in my car a bit longer than usual more than once.

Great twists and turns

I have read all the Bosch series and enjoyed them all and the Haller series is looking to be just as good !

another great book by Micheal Connelly

Two characters Michael Connelly's developed over several titles - Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch - both sign up for what seems like an impossible prosecution. A courtroom drama and a detective story unfold, with both players living up to their illustrious pasts. As a Bosch fan, I was pleased to see old Harry back and the whole thing unfolded in a gripping way that had me on the edge of my seat. Every spare moment, I was sticking my earbuds in and catching up on the next steps in the tale. There wasn't any great last minute revelation or theatrical finale to build up to like a crescendo, but it didn't feel any less enthralling despite that. A great listen.

Courtroom drama and detective story

Deftly and expertly written as usual, this still doesn't quite have the hard-bitten drive of a straight Harry Bosch story as Michael Connelly tries to flesh out the developing personality of his current second string, Mickey Haller. There's a lot of courtroom action, and the pace is good, but I guess I'm a dyed in the wool Bosch fan, so wanted more of him and less of Mickey.

Not Enough Bosch

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Another mind-spinning story featuring Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch. For once Haller is on the side of the prosecution, in an attempt ot help his ex-wife, even though the move sits uncomfortably on his shoulders. They are charged with the retrial of a man, who has already served a long sentence for the crime which is now under question and the defence is being handled by a lawyer almost as clever and cunning as Haller himself. The narration by Peter Giles is excellent and interest never flags.

Mickey Haller goes from strength to strength
