The Lincoln Lawyer: A Novel ReviewAbraham Lincoln is revered by lawyers everywhere for his courtroom skills and practical wisdom. The Lincoln Michael Connelly refers is not Abraham, but rather the automobile.
Mickey Haller, son of an original Los Angeles superstar lawyer, owns several. At times the limousine business seems preferable to his own. But finally he gets, to his eternal regret the "franchise case", the kind of case that not only pays the bills but causes other clients to want his services.
A young rich real estate broker is charged in the attempted murder of a hooker. His insistence in his innocence causes Haller to realize he may have what he has always dreaded, the actually innocent client. But he finds his defense efforts in disarray as the case sours, and he himself becomes a murder suspect.
Non-lawyers usually do not write good legal thrillers. Michael Connelly, a former reporter and America's best mystery writer, is the exception that proves the rule. He has a great ear for the courtroom and a sense of the professional and economic dilemmas trial lawyers face.
I will say this, however, in real life no matter how secret the client confidence, lawyers are ethically able to access the expertise necessary to know how to respond to any dilemma in an ethically sound way. The real Mickey Haller would have picked up the phone to the Bar's hotline for an ethics opinion. That simple act would have destroyed a helluva tale.
I hope we will see more of Haller. He has his demons but he is not as dark a protagonist as Harry Bosch. The reality is, in his first legal thriller, Connelly has produced a book every bit as good as John Grisham's A Time To Kill. That is saying a lot.

Devil Wind: A Sammy Greene Thriller ReviewI really enjoyed this novel, which reminded me of Raymond Chandler's "Red Wind" in that Schlian and Reid (like Chandler) use the wind as almost a character to punctuate the tension and heat of Los Angeles during the course of the story. The plot was so compelling and complex and integrated the subplots so well that I found it hard to stop reading. Sammy is working in Los Angeles, in and of itself a wonderful setting with the Santa Ana winds, when a woman's body is found. Without giving too much away, we eventually learn the body may be that of Sammy's mentor/father figure's daughter and that the death may be related to the manipulative machinations of a CIA operative who wants to control the upcoming presidential election . I particularly like the way the authors create a sense of vulnerability in Sammy (who's pretty tough, overall) through her desire to have a closer relationship with her father and ex-boyfriend. I'm not a big suspense reader and suspect it was the characters - Sammy and the alleged dead woman and even the not-so-bad guys (as opposed to the evil-doers) - that compelled me to keep reading as much as the plot. There aren't many women who write straight suspense and I think that sensibility - seeing the world and events through a young woman's eyes - was also a plus for me.Devil Wind: A Sammy Greene Thriller Overview

Three Complete Novels: "G" Is for Gumshoe, "H" Is for Homicide, and "I" Is for Innocent ReviewI've been buying the Kinsey Milhone series as they have been published as 3-in-one hardbacks since last year when I finally discovered these fun little mystery books. I now wish I had discovered them years ago. These Kinsey Milhone mysteries,and Sue Graftons writing style have matured as the series progresses.
These books are easy reads - not terribly deep but they don't pretend to be anything but that either. I also recomend Janet Evonovich's Stephanie Plum series for readers who are fans of Grafton heroine Kinsey Milhone. Although Evanovich's heroine "Stephanie plum" is somewhat more of a "character" and the situations are far more unbelievable (intentionally so), the books are just as much fun.Three Complete Novels: "G" Is for Gumshoe, "H" Is for Homicide, and "I" Is for Innocent Overview
