This is #2 in the Mickey Haller Series.
I was very surprised by this book from page 1 until the end. Things just were not what they seemed in any regard. I loved this about the book.

Another riveting, killer read by Connelly. I enjoyed the crossing of paths between Haller & Bosch. The story is delivered in the authors methodical way - piece by piece, layer by layer. It was great to see this story through a lawyer's eyes vs. a detective's pov. Great job by Connelly as always. And the big reveal in the end is...shocking!

Whilst I enjoyed the book and the twist at the end, I much prefer it when Harry takes a more active role.
