The Lincoln Lawyer – An Audio Book Review

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Title: The Lincoln Lawyer
Author: Michael Connelly
Narrator: Adam Grupper
Length: 11 hours 37 minutes

Boring and predictable…

 

…is not at all how I would describe this audio book. Adam Grupper keeps your heart racing with his supercharged narration of  The Lincoln Lawyer. This is Michael Connelly’s first legal thriller and is easily one of his best novels to-date.

Leaving behind one of his most celebrated characters, Harry Bosche, Connelly introduces us to a new and unlikely hero—Mickey Haller. Mickey is an unethical but highly charismatic L.A. defense attorney who operates from the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car. Known for almost exclusively representing drug dealers, con artists and drunk drivers, Mickey’s lands what he believes to be the case of a lifetime—defending a rich, Beverly Hills playboy accused of attempted murder. As he delves deeper, Mickey quickly realizes that he’s involved in a deadly game of manipulation, lies and murder.

If you’re a fan of legal thrillers or are simply looking to listen to an entertaining story, we suggest renting or downloading The Lincoln Lawyer. It’s a must-listen that we know you’ll love.

Have you listened to any of the other novels in the Mickey Haller series? Would you recommend them?

October 20 - Malcolm Gladwell, the genius behind The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers, is one of the most gifted and influential journalists in America. Now, the very best and most famous of his New Yorker pieces are collected in this anthology, What The Dog Saw. Among the pieces: his investigation into why there are so many varieties of mustard, but only one kind of ketchup; a surprising assessment of what makes for a safer automobile; a look at how we hire when we can’t tell who’s right for the job; an examination of machine built to predict hit movies; a dissection of Ivy League admissions and who gets in; the saga of the quest to invent the perfect cookie; and a look at hair dye and the hidden history of postwar America.

For the millions of Malcolm Gladwell fans, this anthology is like a greatest hits compilation – a mix tape from America’s alpha mind.
