Michael Connelly and Justice go hand in hand.

What made the experience of listening to The Gods of Guilt the most enjoyable?

It was a great story line and the twists and turns. Connelly explains the legality of law proceedings with expert skill and is able to blend them into the story brilliantly. Thoroughly enjoyable!

What about Peter Giles’s performance did you like?

Simply splendid, such easy listening.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Everyone deserves Justice!

Any additional comments?

I still love the short connections made with Harry Bosch.

Another spellbinding Mickey Haller courtoom romp

Connelly is a masterful writer whose awesome skills have never been more effectively applied than in this engaging story of the dangerous fight to set an (almost) innocent man free.

Having produced thousands of voice-overs, I'd have to rate Peter Giles up there with Humphrey Bower as one of the best narrators (actors) I've ever heard.

Outstanding Connelly

What did you love best about The Gods of Guilt?

The ins and outs of political and legal battles faced by Haller in his defense of his client.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Absolutely. The plot is full of unexpected but credible twists and turns.

What about Peter Giles’s performance did you like?

Actually, I wasn't overwhelmed by his performance. He does a very good job using different voices but tends to be whiny.

It just kept me on the edge of my seat.

I've read and enjoyed all of Connelly's Bosch series but am enjoying the Mickey Haller books even more.

Vultures and defense attorneys

It can have more than one meaning when it comes to this story. The guilt that's been placed on Mickey's client; the guilty actions the antagonists take to cover their tracks; or defense attorney Mickey Haller, who lost more than he's run for the DA's office after a former client gets in an accident. The public and his daughter vilified him. Eventually he comes across a client whose been arrested for murder and he wants Mickey representing him. The victim turned out to be Gloria Dayton, a prostitute Mickey had believed had gotten out of the life. He had represented her on multiple occasions in the past. Her suspected murderer is her pimp whom Mickey believes to be innocent and will do everything in his power to defend.

Out of all of The Lincoln Lawyer novels, believe this one to be the best so far. The title has an interesting meaning that I will let the reader enjoy on their own. This is Mickey Hall at his all time low. He's alienated his daughter, the public didn't want him for their district attorney and when things just might be getting better for Mr. Lucky, he will lose another soul he cares about.

This book is Michael Connelly at his best.

Peter Giles was amazing with the delivery of the story

Most likely the best Mike Haller story so far....

I've always considered Mike Haller the byproduct of a diversification strategy where Bosh is the 'core business' ( and the best of all) , while books centered around other characters have the objective to sort of "give a break" to Mike Connelly and let him write without having to consistently reinvent great Bosh stories. This book sets for me a new paradigm; the character of Haller is now maturing , taking a shape and role that stand out on their own ( who cares anymore if he is Bosh half-brother ?). The story plot is as good as it gets, the different characters -including the recurring cast around Mike Haller- engaging and forceful and the reader/listener is hooked to the book from the very beginning.
The Gods of guilt is a great book and makes me - for the first time- look forward to the next Haller story....
