Resurrection Walk by Michael ConnellyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another book (#7) in Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer (Mickey Haller) series. The bonus is that Harry Bosch plays a very large part in this book, and Renee Ballard even appears in a small role!
Mickey Haller has just gotten an innocent man released from prison after serving 14 years of a life-without-parole sentence. As a result, he is receiving dozens of letters from other prisoners claiming their innocence. Harry is helping him by reviewing these requests and investigating their cases. He comes across a letter from a young woman who was imprisoned for killing her husband, a sheriff's deputy. Haller and Bosch work together to uncover additional evidence and present it to the court for possible vacating of her 11-year prison sentence.
The novel is told in alternating points of view -- Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch -- which is very effective in this situation. I flew through this 400-page book in just a couple of days, anxious to discover the outcome of the case. I often find that court cases written by other authors are just too detailed and slow-moving, but Michael Connelly consistently writes extremely page-turning accounts of court proceedings.
I was lucky to put this book on hold at my library well before its publication date, and was one of the first to read it! Now if I can only wait until he writes another Harry Bosch / Renee Ballard book!
