My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly (Novel)

Michael Connelly writes a legal thriller introducing us to his newest character Mickey Haller, a defense attorney who drives around in a Lincoln conducting business from all over Los Angeles. While he believes his job is a noble one, he also believes he should be paid for his services. And if the right gig comes his way, he expects to be paid big. He thinks he found one in the case of Louis Roulet, a rich realtor accused of attacking a woman in her apartment and trying to kill her. It should be easy money because the girl is a prostitute with zero credibility. There’s just one problem. Louise might be more dangerous than Mickey could have realized. If you like fast-paced books with an exciting mystery and a very likeable hero then this should be right up your alley. It’s a solid thriller and proof that Mr. Connelly is a fine storyteller. Grade: A-
