Book Review: The Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly

Bought this book at Heathrow and have been avidly reading it since. Got back into the character of Mickey Haller pretty quickly, especially after seeing the film of the Lincoln Lawyer.

The book centres on a courtroom and it is fascinating in the hands of Michael Connelly to see how the ebb and flow of a courtroom drama pans out. In addition to this is the behind the scenes look at lawyers and their staff at work.

Of course, I also loved the update on Mickey Haller's life and his relationship with his wife and daughter.

The book twists and turns and is totally compelling. The twist at the end is a superb touch and is like the last big down dive on a roller coaster.

An absolutely compelling book and 10/10 from me!
