michael connelly the law of innocence review

For someone Haller is a useful and expendable distraction. You cannot help become anything but wholly immersed in this story.Īs the case draws closer Haller and his team begin to peel back layers of lies and secrets which suggest Haller has been unwittingly dragged into something far bigger than he originally anticipated. We will cheer when the judge reprimands the prosecuting attorney and laugh as Haller scores points at their mis-steps. The frustration at tricks which the prosecution will pull to hamper his case. Readers get to see Haller and his team building his defence. From the point he is arrested to the time he spends in jail awaiting a bail hearing we are there experiencing Haller’s predicament with him.Ĭonnelly has crafted this so well. Haller is everywhere in this story and we see everything unfold as he does. If you enjoy a courtroom drama then The Law of Innocence is your essential read – I can’t think of a legal thriller I have enjoyed more. Who else is at the very best of his game? Michael Connelly is too as The Law of Innocence is one of his best yet (possibly even THE best). And despite knowing he is innocent Haller will need to be at the very best of his game to ensure he can also convince a jury of his innocence. Not just any courtroom drama – a huge drama as it is Haller himself that is the accused. Haller is The Lincoln Lawyer and this suggested a courtroom drama was heading our way.

So when I discovered The Law of Innocence was a Mickey Haller story my anticipation heightened. As a fan I consider this to be a very good thing, my relationship with Connelly’s characters has been developed and nurtured over many books and many years. There are a lot of Michael Connelly books. I would also like to thank Tracy Fenton at Compulsive Readers for the opportunity to join this blog tour. I received a review copy of The Law of Innocence from Orion through Netgalley. In order to truly walk free, Haller knows he must find the real killer – that is the law of innocence… With watertight evidence stacked against him, Haller will need every trick in the book to prove he was framed.īut a not-guilty verdict isn’t enough. And the trial will be the trial of his life.īecause Mickey Haller will defend himself in court. He will have to build his case from behind bars. They open the trunk of his car to find the body of a former client. Heading home after winning his latest case, defense attorney Mickey Haller – The Lincoln Lawyer – is pulled over by the police. And to prove true innocence the guilty man must be found and exposed to the world.”

In the law of innocence, for every man not guilty of a crime there is a man out there who is. In nature, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It will not be found in a leather-bound code book.
