The Law of Innocence by Michael Connelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’m a huge fan of Michael Connelly and while I may have missed a book or two from the Haller series (must catch up), I was quickly immersed in Haller’s fight to clear his name after being charged with murder. It’s not enough just getting an NG (Not Guilty) for him, he wants to prove his innocence.
Much of this book reads like a ‘how to conduct a murder trial’ right down to all the tricks and traps used on both sides of the table.
This is an engaging read with plenty of twists and turns as Haller literally fights for his life. It’s also a more detailed read than your average legal thriller and Connelly also introduces the beginning of the Covid-era, making everything very real-time. 4.5 stars.
