Book 3 in my Stephen King challenge- just started it yesterday and I'm already more than halfway done. I haven't read any Connelly books before, and I haven't yet seen The Lincoln Lawyer, but despite that fact, I'm quite enjoying this book. There are lots of twists and turns, and although I didn't think I'd be very interested in reading about all the home foreclosures, I have to say that Connelly does an excellent job of making it interesting and that the story quickly morphs into so much more than just a look the housing market collapse. Right now the book is getting to the court room action, and I'm literally tense as each new witness takes the stand. It reminds me that maybe I need to read more courthouse dramas...

I just finished this last night, and it was a fantastic read! Despite the fact that I'm not 100% invested yet in Mickey Haller as a character, the plot and writing was intriguing enough to not have that make a difference. This book has got some layers to it! Great lawyer drama, I'm looking forward to the next book in the series, especially if Haller's plans at the end of the book pan out.
