This is a unique story for Mickey Haller, for in it...he finds himself on the Light Side (for some reason).
Also, the inclusion of Harry Bosch was done so well.
Plus, Maggie McFierce in the story is so much fun.
The use of a active/cold case at the same time. That was choice.
The bad guy was bad, but we got to feast on the way the story was layered and intricate, but still understandable.
The court room scenes were well developed and executed. We got to see the jury/judge deal with different situations. I hope that some day (if they haven't already) adapted this to the TV show. Sadly, they won't bring Bosch into the story, but will replace him with some other cop.
Also, this was the introduction of the two girls (Maggie/Mickey's daughter with Bosch's daughter). SInce I've read all the main books that Harry Bosch is in...I've already witnessed this (in a way), but it was good to see how it played out.
Very tense moments, and some really funny moments, too.
Really well written. I don't have the next book, yet...so will be putting this series on pause...till I get it. Soon, hopefully...soon.
