Connellys Romane, in denen es nicht primär um Harry Bosch geht, waren ja eher durchwachsen mit einigen sehr guten (Blood Work, The Poet) und einigen sehr schwachen (Chasing the Dime). Der Lincoln Lawyer war so mittenn drin. Mickey Haller, der Winkeladvokat, kehrt nun zurück. Das Strickmuster erinnert etwas an den Lincoln Lawyer und ist wenig überaschend, weshalb auch das Ende nicht so richtig überzeugt. Es ist zwar interessant, Bosch aus dem Blickwinkel eines anderen zu sehen, aber er bleibt eher blass. Leider wird auch Mickey Haller etwas eindimensionaler. Alles in allem kann das Buch mich nicht so richtig überzeugen. Es wirkt für mich eher wie Pflicht denn Kür.

I think Michael Connelly is primed to take over where John Grisham left off in the legal thriller area. I havent seen a decent John Grisham thriller in years and this book by Connelly - The Brass Verdict - was absolutely fantastic. So all I can say is, move over Grisham because someone else wants to take your place.
Connelly fans will especially like this book because as well as establishing a new character - lawyer Mickey Haller (who we met in the last book - The Lincoln Lawyer) - he also throws in his crowd pleasing homicide detective Harry Bosch. So we get a double treat. This makes for a cracking story which grips you from the first page.
The plot is this. Haller is just coming back from a sabbatical for health reasons when he finds out that his colleague and friend Jerry Vincent has been murdered. Vincent was shot in an underground parking garage by an unknown assailant. Haller is summoned to the court by the senior judge and told that Vincent has bequeathed his legal practice and ALL his clients to Haller - including a very high profile murder defendant - Hollywood mogul Walter Elliott who is accused of double murder.
On the one hand, Haller is shocked about his friends death but on the other hand, he is on cloud nine about his changing fortunes. But soon evidence comes to light that Vincent may have been murdered by one of his clients. So suddenly the legal practice he has inherited is no longer such a nice ... weiter

Do not read this review or this book unless you have at least read The Lincoln Lawyer and The Last Coyote. If you have read both of those, you'll probably think The Brass Verdict is a four-star book. If you've read The Lincoln Lawyer and all of the previous Harry Bosch novels, you will probably think The Brass Verdict is a very interesting five-star character study buried in a series of intriguing mysteries.
Characters, to me, are what make or break mysteries. If I like a character or find the character to be interesting, I look forward to each book teaching me something new about the character. In the best mysteries, the characters grow into something more than before which makes the progression interesting to contemplate.
The best writers save some things to surprise readers. Most such surprises are like a little firecracker going off. There's big bang for a second, but it doesn't mean much after a few minutes. Michael Connelly has the ability to set off what seems like a little firecracker that makes you see the whole world differently. It's a great gift, and he employs it in The Brass Verdict. But you need background from the earlier novels to appreciate the beauty of what he does.
I have a problem in reviewing this book. I can't tell you about the two most interesting aspects (what the title means and revelations about the two leading characters in The Brass Verdict). But I can tell you that these aspects will pique your interest and ... weiter
