Book Reviews of The Brass Verdict: A Novel
Book Review: Brass Brawls and Bosch to Boot!
Summary: 5 Stars
Michael Connelly must have had a fun time with this one as he brings his Harry Bosch and Jack McEvoy characters into Mickey Haller's world and takes the rest of us along for the proverbial towncar ride.
As a reader I look for books that entertain and sometimes enlighten. His characters always entertain and his police, lawyer, or reporter professionals always offer up some good procedural or insider's information that occasionally enlightens, amuses, angers or have you shaking your head over. Outside of our own professions most of us have only vague notions about other people's jobs so Connelly does a good job adding some luster or say scratching the paint jobs on a few.
As your everyday reader I'm not looking a GREAT novel from a writer everytime out of the block. More often than not I'm just looking for a work of fiction to have a GOOD and convincing storyline. I want characters that help sell the premise and I want the writing style to flow.
Connelly delivers on all counts. He doesn't give us super hero cartoonish characters but flesh and blood flawed folks like the rest of us which makes his storylines all the more convincing.
With THE BRASS VERDICT there's the main case that carries the plot, a murder to figure out, some side cases that give us all a better view of the justice system in play or out of play, and enough real life problems with our resident hero to make him human.
No easy feat with fiction.
Work THE BRASS VERDICT into your reading rotation and if you haven't done so yet, then go out and pick up the Harry Bosch series and Jack McEvoy books.
Good books and talent here.
