Ok, first observation: do not confuse Connolly and Connelly. One is a superstitious Irishman who does not seem to know what kind he writes and the other is quite a writer!
I must admit that after having devoured Connelly for years, any time I were tired. The American have a nice feather in hell (he has already won a Pulitzer), as a writer of detective has its codes and revenue that ultimately shine through the best scenes strung and spoil the pleasure of reading.
Well, then, after a long break, I was ready to read everything with new eyes when I opened defense Lincoln. Especially that I qualify for a new character, the lawyer Mickey Haller, instead of the perennial cop Harry Bosch. In this novel, Haller, defense lawyer accustomed to small business, finally finds himself defending a rich client, but what seemed like a good case proves otherwise ...
Okay, I admit, I expected that the lawyer makes me think Haller counsel Grisham: an idealist, as straight as straight as, with respect to the heart of JUSTICE ... What was pleasantly surprised by my knowledge of Haller, a man without illusions scrupulously respects the letter of the law and who is involved only the interests of its customers, leaving the moral judgments to others. This is not mixing: the lawyer is so realistic that I think well have crossed once or twice in the office! lol! ;)
The novel is conducted at a normal pace Connelly: it starts slowly, then the tension builds, shorter chapters, the pages turn by themselves and it ends up at 1 o'clock in the morning with eyes that hardly hold open, devouring the last 20 pages because it is not about to go to bed without knowing how it ends!
short, I loved it! :) Here it is just that I'll keep me and I do not buy immediately Connelly 4 or 5 others in the hope of finding the same pleasure of reading. I know that if I put her novels, I enjoy less, because I'm going to start decoding them too easily.
Although ... I can certainly read before a second phenomenon that catches up to me ...;)
