The Brass Verdict (The Lincoln Lawyer, #2; Harry Bosch Universe, #19)

This is the 4th mystery/thriller I have started in the last several days. It is the only one I will finish. The others, all by authors well known who I will not name, were a mishmash of confusing scenes, unnecessary filler (the price of having to produce a book every year?), and reader-unfriendly prose. Connelly, who crafts just as complicated a plot, does so without confusion and without extra "stuff." He is a pleasure to read.
The rest was as good as the beginning. It is interesting to see how Connelly brings his two series characters together in this book.

Good series, good review.
I saw Michael Connelly on the Craig Ferguson Show and found him pretty obnoxious and controlling. However, because I respect your opinion so much, I'm going to eventually give him a try based on your recommendation. Should I start at the beginning of the series?

BTW, we met Connelly at the Key West Literary Seminar in January and he was charming and very considerate. He went out of his way to tell me he had found a copy of my novel THE HERETIC in the B&B where he was staying.
