It's been a while since I read any of the Harry Bosch novels - I enjoyed them years ago when they started and then somehow got out of the habit。 Resurrection Walk is the 38th novel by Michael Connelly and I have to admit I was a little apprehensive， finding it hard to believe that any author can keep up the quality for that long。 I'm so happy to be proved wrong。The novel centres around Mickey Haller， otherwise known as the Lincoln Lawyer， working now with his half brother Harry Bosch as his inve It's been a while since I read any of the Harry Bosch novels - I enjoyed them years ago when they started and then somehow got out of the habit。 Resurrection Walk is the 38th novel by Michael Connelly and I have to admit I was a little apprehensive， finding it hard to believe that any author can keep up the quality for that long。 I'm so happy to be proved wrong。The novel centres around Mickey Haller， otherwise known as the Lincoln Lawyer， working now with his half brother Harry Bosch as his investigator。 Bosch， retired from the LAPD， has no desire to work as a defence lawyer but needs the medical insurance working with Haller provides and is happy to go through the letters that Haller receives from convicted people proclaiming their innocence and to investigate them to see if there are doubts about their guilt。 One such letter is from a woman convicted of murdering her cop husband and the book follows her case as they investigate and try to get the conviction overturned。The plot is excellent and it's a good mix of investigation and courtroom drama。 The characters are now so well developed it was easy to slip back into their world and their actions are all natural and believable， as is the dialogue。 Connelly is very obviously still at the top of his game， it's a fantastic read and the best part is I can now go back and read all the ones I missed。Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review。#ResurrectionWalk #NetGalley 。。。more

Once again， Michael Connelly writes a tense legal thriller， featuring defence lawyer， Mickey Haller， and his investigator half brother， retired LAPD detective Harry Bosch， with a small appearance from Ballard too。 Haller wants to experience the euphoria of seeing the 'resurrection walk' again， he is the man who takes on long shot cases， and was responsible for Jorge Ochoa， an innocent man who had served 14 years， walking free from prison into the arms of his family。 Swamped by letters wanting hi Once again， Michael Connelly writes a tense legal thriller， featuring defence lawyer， Mickey Haller， and his investigator half brother， retired LAPD detective Harry Bosch， with a small appearance from Ballard too。 Haller wants to experience the euphoria of seeing the 'resurrection walk' again， he is the man who takes on long shot cases， and was responsible for Jorge Ochoa， an innocent man who had served 14 years， walking free from prison into the arms of his family。 Swamped by letters wanting his services， convicted people claiming to be innocent too， Haller has Bosch go through them， to assess the most promising。 Bosch whittles them down to 2， Dale Coldwell does not pan out， but Lucinda 'Cindi' Sanz， at Chino， is the one they choose to take on。 Cindi apparently shot dead her ex-husband， Roberto， a deputy sheriff ， but there is much that does not add up。 Her no good， opportunistic lawyer， Frank Silver， pushed her to accept a deal that would have her serve 11 years in prison， despite her consistent claims of innocence throughout。 Cindi is desperate to be free so that she can protect her 14 year old son， Eric， from drug gangs。 Haller and Bosch are to discover nothing is as it appears， and there are forces intent on making sure the truth never comes out， as both have their homes broken into to try and to intimidate them。 There are taut， gripping and tense courtroom scenes before a judge in which obstacle after obstacle must be overcome in a dangerous case which involves the FBI， geofencing， and the use of AI。Bosch is far from comfortable to be on the defence side but he believes in Cindi， and he has cancer， Haller has managed to get him on a clinical trial， but there are side effects that result in poorer health outcomes。 Nevertheless， he and Haller work remarkably well together， as they begin to zero in on the truth of what really happened to Roberto Sanz。 Connelly is a skilful and experienced crime writer with his trademark attention to procedural and legal details， his plotting is impeccable， and he knows exactly how to raise the levels of suspense and tension in the courtroom。 This is a brilliant addition to the Haller and Bosch series， fans will likely love it， as indeed will new readers who are encountering them for the first time。 Highly recommended。 Many thanks to the publisher for an ARC。 。。。more

It was extremely easy to rate this as a five star read！ Harry Bosch books are my favourite long running series and in this one we see him come together with the Lincoln Lawyer， Micky Haller。 In fact he is working for Micky and I loved the moral dilemma of working for the defense after so many years of being on the prosecution team。Michael Connelly has somehow seamlessly brought together his two main characters and has woven a first story in his usual style with plenty of suspense。 I enjoyed all It was extremely easy to rate this as a five star read！ Harry Bosch books are my favourite long running series and in this one we see him come together with the Lincoln Lawyer， Micky Haller。 In fact he is working for Micky and I loved the moral dilemma of working for the defense after so many years of being on the prosecution team。Michael Connelly has somehow seamlessly brought together his two main characters and has woven a first story in his usual style with plenty of suspense。 I enjoyed all aspects of this novel。 Bosch making Haller sit in the front of the car made me laugh。 The hospital treatments made me sad。 The reference to the usual cast of characters， Cisco， Ballard and others is familiar and expected。 I will continue to read and enjoy this series for as long as the author continues to write it。 But for now， I will make do with Bosch Legacy on the television！Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Orion for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Resurrection Walk falls under both the Mickey Haller （#7） and Harry Bosch （#37） series labels。 The story flips back and forth between the two。 In order for Harry to have health insurance and be enrolled in a clinical study for his myeloma leukemia， he’s gone to work for Mickey。 Mickey has just gotten a client declared innocent and he’s now keen to run his own sort of Innocence Project。 Harry is tasked with reading the many letters asking for help and deciding which， if any， have merit。 He focuse Resurrection Walk falls under both the Mickey Haller （#7） and Harry Bosch （#37） series labels。 The story flips back and forth between the two。 In order for Harry to have health insurance and be enrolled in a clinical study for his myeloma leukemia， he’s gone to work for Mickey。 Mickey has just gotten a client declared innocent and he’s now keen to run his own sort of Innocence Project。 Harry is tasked with reading the many letters asking for help and deciding which， if any， have merit。 He focuses on a letter from the ex-wife of a Sheriff’s Deputy。 She was talked into taking a nolo contendere plea when she was arrested for her ex’s murder。 Initially， I was peeved at the change from third person narrative during Harry’s sections to Mickey’s first person in his sections。 But once the book gets to the court case， having Mickey’s sections in the first person worked well。 Connelly is a master at crafting both a believable criminal investigation and a well toned legal thriller and this book does both well。 Kudos to Connelly for coming up with believable plots over and over again。 It's very timely， with AI and geo-fencing coming into play。 It’s an engrossing story and I kept promising myself just one more chapter。 Given the ending， it will be very interesting to see where the Haller series goes next。 One of the big questions when dealing with an ongoing series is， can the book work as a stand-alone。 Well， yes and no。 The plot is well done and a reader can enjoy it based on that alone。 But Connelly doesn’t waste a lot of time giving the backstories of the two main characters， so that would be lost。 It’s also so interesting to see the progression of these characters， especially Bosch。 My thanks to Netgalley and Little， Brown & Company for an advance copy of this book。 。。。more

once， but it’s addictive and he desperately wants to experience it again。 The thrill of releasing an innocent victim of the criminal justice system， someone who has been falsely imprisoned。 The adrenaline rush was incomparable as the victim， Jorge Ochoa， was finally cleared， the prison doors thrown open and he walked out a free man to be greeted by his waiting family。 A moment to savour， Haller called it the resurrection walk。 Haller is known in Los Angeles circles as the Lincoln Lawyer， because he eschews the use of an office， preferring to store his case files in the boot of his car。 He’s temporarily being supported by his half-brother， ex-LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch。 Harry is suffering from a form of bone cancer and this employment has enabled Haller to get him enrolled in a clinical trial programme at UCLA Med， where he’s receiving radioisotope treatment。 Bosch’s role is that of investigator， and also part-time driver for the lawyer。 He’s also overseeing the search for the next injustice case for his boss， sifting through the many letters that have been sent to Haller following Ochoa’s release。 His job is to highlight those he believes to be worthy of a closer look。 One case he pitches to the lawyer is that of Lucinda Sanz， who accepted a nolo condendere （or no contest） plea， a way of avoiding a potential life sentence。 She’d been charged with killing her husband， a sheriff’s deputy， five years ago following a domestic dispute。 There was just something in the letter that spoke to Bosch。 Lucinda had never admitted guilt， in fact she’d always asserted her innocence。 She’d accepted the plea on the advice of her lawyer， who convinced her that the risk of receiving the maximum sentence at trial was just too great。 So instead she’d accepted an eleven year sentence， something that at least offered her a life after prison。 But now she has good reason to want to leave before her term is served。Through his novels， Connelly has created a world in which his various protagonists （currently Haller， Bosch and Renee Ballard， a serving LAPD detective） co-exist。 Each have their own series of books， but ‘guest’ appearances in each other’s stories are not unusual。 This is most clearly a Lincoln Lawyer tale， the set-piece court scenes being the obvious highlights， though the narrative follows both he and Bosch in almost equal measure。 It’s broken down into sections， with Haller plotting how he plans to challenge and ultimately undermine the state’s case against Sanz alternating with Bosch's actions in undertaking the investigative legwork。 The relationship between the two men here is noticeably different to their interactions in earlier books: now Haller is clearly the boss and the decision maker， and though they seem to work well together it does feel a little odd to see Bosch in this rather subservient role， overseen by the often brusque Haller。 In addition， Bosch is somewhat conflicted by working for the defence lawyer given he’s spent his whole career to date on the side of the prosecutor， and to add to this the act of violence he’s investigating was perpetrated against an officer of the law。Nobody makes a crime fiction story flow quite like Connelly does， and here he once again demonstrates his mastery of the craft。 At no point does he release his iron grip on the narrative。 Actions taken are rational and precisely placed within the story， each reaction is realistically played out and every character is totally believable。 There are no false notes here。 There are a couple of minor cases tidied up along the way and Ballard even makes a brief appearance， but all eyes are really focused on the Sanz case。 It’s far from clear that a meaningful argument can be made for her release， as reasonable doubt is not the bar that has to be reached – proof of innocence is required to win the day here。 However， Haller and Bosch are determined to give it their best shot， despite a degree of intimidation from sources unknown。 They also know that should they get the case in front of a judge there remain a number of outcomes in play， including the re-introduction of a potential life sentence for Lucinda。It’s a Lincoln Lawyer story， so you know they’ll get it to court somehow， and when they do what a brilliantly choreographed courtroom dance it proves to be。My thanks to Little， Brown and Company for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

How does he do it？ How after 37 previous books does Michael Connelly manage to stay so fresh and contemporary？Every year like clockwork he produces a new Bosch/Haller/Ballard book and the quality rarely dips。 In fact this book - his 38th - is up there with his best。 Breathlessly exciting with twists and turns throughout the action is constant culminating in a tense and brutal courtroom battle as Haller fights to win an appeal for Habeas Corpus。 I love that Harry Bosch is aging in real time but h How does he do it？ How after 37 previous books does Michael Connelly manage to stay so fresh and contemporary？Every year like clockwork he produces a new Bosch/Haller/Ballard book and the quality rarely dips。 In fact this book - his 38th - is up there with his best。 Breathlessly exciting with twists and turns throughout the action is constant culminating in a tense and brutal courtroom battle as Haller fights to win an appeal for Habeas Corpus。 I love that Harry Bosch is aging in real time but his skills are undiminished despite his increasing physical frailty。 The book is bang up to date with the potential use of AI to be dealt with by the judge in a key passage during the hearing。 It is wonderful to discover new authors but also so comforting when a tried and tested old friend in Michael Connelly can still produce a book of this calibre。 The best legal thriller I have read this year。 。。。more

A good Bosch/Haller courtroom drama。 Bosch is working for his half-brother and rather reluctantly taking a （limited） part in Haller's cases。 While reviewing requests to Haller's unofficial "Innocence Project" Bosch sees a case that just doesn't add up， so Haller agrees to take the woman's case。 Soon the two are investigating case of a woman who has been in jail for years for the murder of her husband， a sheriff's deputy， in her front yard。 A good Bosch/Haller courtroom drama。 Bosch is working for his half-brother and rather reluctantly taking a （limited） part in Haller's cases。 While reviewing requests to Haller's unofficial "Innocence Project" Bosch sees a case that just doesn't add up， so Haller agrees to take the woman's case。 Soon the two are investigating case of a woman who has been in jail for years for the murder of her husband， a sheriff's deputy， in her front yard。 。。。more

Loved this Bosch and Haller collaboration！ Michael Connelly is as strong as ever and brings us a tight mystery and top notch story telling。 With his customary wit and unexpected turns， this one kept me guessing until the end。 It’s a must-read for Connelly fans。

What an I say about a HALLER/BOSCH novel？ Perfect？ Compelling？ Terrific？ All of the above？ Haller and Bosch take on the case of a woman framed by her husband’s police cohorts to take the fall for his murder。 The book is a totally engaging read。 I am devoted to Connelly’s heroes。 This book really doesn’t disappoint。 It was satisfying on so many levels with a path for more in the future。 Thank you NETGALLEY for the opportunity to spend a few hours snuggled up with Harry and Mickey。
