"The Brass Verdict" by Michael Connelly
Edited on Mon Apr-20-09 04:55 PM by Richardo
First, let me say that even a mediocre Connelly novel is still 100x better than most other novels, but this one just didn't do it for me.

I expected the first Mickey Haller/Harry Bosch novel to really kick it, and maybe change POVs from one to the other. This one didn't.
Also, there's a gratuitous 'twist' at the end that I thought wasn't really supported by the Harry Bosch 'universe', nor did it add anything to the story, IMO.

I likes me some Connelly, and this was a good read, but not a GREAT read, as I have come to expect.

I give it two neutral smilies: :^| :^|

And it was good to see Harry Bosch again..

There's always one or two in a series that misses the mark.
