The characters aren&#8217;t always the most likable, but they are believable.  The plot has several twists and turns, and there is a final one that I wasn&#8217;t expecting.  This is the first book in the Lincoln Lawyer series, and I suspect that the series gets even better. In this first book, the author introduces us to many aspects of the criminal defense profession, often providing us with the strategy employed to win the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The narratot, Adam Gupper, is excellent.  I think he is the incarnation of the main character, Mickey Haller.  His voice has just the right tone and attitude to portray Haller.  He does a pretty decent job with the the other characters as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Michael Connelly, 2005, Audiobook narrated by Adam Grupper, Hachette Audio At first, I didn&#8217;t think I liked this book, but the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me.
