 Ordinary December 2, 2008
I'm sorry to say I really didn't enjoy The Brass Verdict all that much. That's what happens when you write a book a year. It gets to be a hollow exercise. You can read this book really fast because you will not miss much in terms of writing, psychology and wit. I liked the Lincoln Lawyer so I am surprised that the second in the series is so ordinary.
 The Final Approach December 1, 2008
Michael Connelly has effectively combined characters from two of his books to make an extraordinarily pleasurable book. From The Lincoln Lawyer he uses the main character, attorney Michael Haller. From the Bosch series (17 books) he takes the irascible Harry Bosch, premier detective on the LAPD force. Combining these wonderfully colorful characters into a single plot has been a joyous read.
Throughout the book, the reader is captured by the fast-paced activity, the dialogue, the introduction of ancillary characters and anxiously awaiting the next chapter, and the next et al. It is difficult to put the book down. Finally, as the reader approaches the closing, we are given one conclusion. But wait, there is more, another aspect is revealed. Whoa! Not so fast, one more unbelievable fact is revealed, and behold, the reader sits stunned.
Although a fan of the Harry Bosch character and series, and having enjoyed the Lincoln Lawyer some many months ago, I can recommend without hesitation, this is Connelly's best writing - simply because he has plotted it so well. It will help if you are familiar with the characters, but even on a stand-alone basis, the book is compelling.

I thought the book was great! Started reading it and could not put it down.
 The Brass Verdict December 1, 2008
As usual, Michael Conneley offered a great read. His characters are well developed, and allow the reader to feel that the character is known to her or him. The plot was engaging, and kept me reading until the end. I am fairly new to Mr. Conneley's work, having read the Lincoln Lawyer earlier this year, and will now seek out other books written by this author.
Where's Harry? December 1, 2008
The Brass Verdict was well written, as all of Connelly's novels are, in my opinion, but I felt a little deceived by the description of the book as a "Mickey Haller/Harry Bosch" vehicle. To me, Bosch's presence was so negligible that he might as well not have been written in at all. If you like the Mickey Haller character, you'll probably love the book. However, if you like Harry Bosch as much as I do, then I think you'll be as disappointed with this book as I was.
