The Lincoln Lawyer

I read this a million years ago over a month ago, but as usual I'm late in giving you a review. I had heard good things about this book and it didn't disappoint.

The Lincoln Lawyer, by Michael Connelly, tells the story of Mickey Haller, a hardcore, big shot criminal defense attorney. He rarely worries himself over small potatoes like innocence or guilt, but rather defends anyone who can pay him the big bucks. One day, he learns that a young man from Beverly Hills has asked for him specifically in a case where he was accused of attacking a woman after an encounter at a local bar. Haller knows this means a big pay out for him and gladly accepts the case. The lawyer can't believe his luck as he finds more and more information, making the case seemingly the easiest one to date. Then someone close to him is murdered and it turns his world upside down. How will it affect the case? How will it affect his practice of law?

You'll just have to read and find out! I'd give this book 3 out of 5 stars- very entertaining and I'd recommend it to a friend (that's you.).

If you'd rather not read and feast your eyes on some Matthew McConaughey, the movie was decent, too. Of course, the book is better, but it's worth popping this movie in for a date night in. That's what we did.

Happy reading (or viewing)!
