The Reversal by Michael Connelly
The Reversal by Michael Connelly Book Summary
INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES THE LINCOLN LAWYER – THE #1 TV SHOW ON NETFLIX
The stakes have never been higher: when DNA evidence frees a sadistic killer, defense attorney Mickey Haller and LAPD Detective Harry Bosch must put him behind bars before he strikes again. Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After twenty-four years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.
Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.
With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.

Loved it!. I was getting bored with the not so great books available right but this one perked me up. Smoochie Pig gives it a 5!
Haller and Bosch. Great page turner you won't be disappointed!
The Reversal. A great read
O M G. This book kept me on the edge of my seat I have ready every one of the Lincoln lawyer books this is a must read and a change of venue that has you begging for more !!!!!!
Vintage Connelly. A taut thriller with a lukewarm ending that left me “up in the air”
No reversal of quality. This was classic Connelly and it doesn't get any better than that when it comes to crime fiction. Other authors in the genre start going downhill with repeated books with the same lead character, but that hasn't happened with Connelly and Harry Bosch. If anything, his later Bosch is even better than his earlier.
Excellent!. Connelly did a good job with his best characters, Harry Bosch and Mickie Haller. You just don't want it to end.
The Reversal. Another page turner from one of the masters of the craft! I literally could not shut off my I-Pad. Get this book if you like edge of your chair reads.
Great read. This is the first Michael Connelly book I've read - but it won't be the last! I have been a Prosecutor for over 20 years and have tried many Jury Trials. Connelly nailed it here!
Ending Sucked. I really enjoyed this story. I have nothing but superlatives about the story, the characters and the writing style. Then I came to the end. Either Michael Conley doesn't know how to wrap up a story or he's trying to sell another book, but I hated the way he closed the book. I will not read another of his books if this is his style. It's very frustrating to invest time to this read then being dropped! It's like having good sex without a climax!
Brothers united. Bosch and Haller together are less exciting than either one of them apart. Connelly has been setting us up for this union of try two half-brothers for some time, but whatever tension or drama might come from putting them together at last goes unexploited. Bosch is his usual tough- minded detective pulling rabbits out of the hat for Haller; Haller is his usual quick-witted trial attorney dodging and weaving his way to verdict. The fact that he's recruited as a special prosecutor and working with his ex-wife Maggie McFierce doubles up on the nepotism but doesn't really add much. To Connelly's credit as a reporter he allows these folks to get their jobs done well, quite independent of the fact that their lives are intertwined. Their children meet up for a homely scene, but whatever twists the family ties might add to the plot never materialize. The story is plotted so that Harry and Mickey trade chapters, a slightly confusing device the start that actually works quite well as tale unfolds. A lot of time is spent developing the case to set up the trial, so the first half of the book drags a little. Once the trial starts the book heats up and Connelly holds your attention. It's a good book, not one of his best and not the place to start unless you've read the earlier ones that give depth to Mickey and Harry.
The Reversal. Amazing! Couldn't put the book down. So interesting and kept you on your toes. My new favorite author. On to the next novel !!
Now my favorite Haller & Bosch book. This book has been so much fun. About half way through it was hard to put down.
Nice read. Quick grab from the beginning, nice and entertaining.
The Reversal. Michael Connelly is excellent as always. He is by far the most entertaining detective crime novelist of our time. I love that Harry Bosch is back here, I miss his presence having read all of his books in sequential order.
The Reversal. Awesome book - Bosch and Haller make an excellent team. Hard to put down
Captivating!!. A real page turner. You get to see Mickey with his difficult family relations. A definite game changer with the plot. Very enjoyable.
Not his best book!!!. After reading a bunch of books by this author, this is not his best work. Is good but something' missing.
Very good book!. I enjoyed reading this book since I read it in two days. Very well written.
Nels4. After reading many of Michael Connelly books, it was really great the see Haller and Bosch work together....a great book.
The Reversal. Very enjoyable
The Reversal. I could barely put it down.
Great read until the end!. This was a great read until the end. I felt like it just stopped midway through the story without any real conclusion. Can't recommend it for that reason. I've read many other books of his, but this one leaves you wanting more-but not in a good way.....
The Reversal. Great book, could not put it down. Would highly recommend this book for anyone's reading pleasure.
I love Connelly’s books, but not this one. It was confusing, and difficult to hold my interest. I will pay more attention to the ratings from now on. I just assumed all his books were great.
The reversal. Brilliant! Hard to put down. Always a grand finale. You have done it again, Michael Connelly, BRAVO!
Ending. Interesting characters, good plot, moves along nicely, keeps your interest. However, it ends a bit abruptly and leaves a lot of unanswered questions. What happened to Sarah? What was Jesse’s motive? Was he a serial killer? Were there other bodies? Etc.
Justice...?. A good look at what our court system is all about. Not always a pretty sight.
Ballet and Bosch. Face paced courtroom drama with Bosch in charge of the investigation.
Frightening. How close to the justice system this book stays. Wonderful read if you don't like sleeping.
The reversal. I usually really enjoy his books but this one was a dud. Very littlse suspence and a totally anti climatic ending cheapened by a lead for an obvious for a sequal
The Reversal fails to impress. This is a disappointing effort after so many great novels. The conclusion is weak and obvious and the whole novel doesn't offer the usual pace Connelly excels at. Maybe time to retire the Lincoln Lawyer...
Awesome. Awesome as always
Great. Was a strong showing for Connelly. Love Haller and Bosch characters. Worth it!
