Not sure I like how this ended.

The structure of the story and the shifting viewpoints from Haller to Bosch to Jessup were excellent. The combination of Haller/McPherson/Bosch and the resulting tension between them really works well. And of course, the bad guy was truly…

Ugh. Parts of this book were vaguely interesting but the total cop-out ending (no pun intended) was deeply unsatisfying and made me feel like the whole book was a waste of time.

I've been on the train with this series from the beginning. It is a good easy read but still engages the mind and provides from twists

A good courtroom/detective read.

A fast-paced, pulse-pounding, professional effort that delivers the excitement and entertainment that readers want. Teaming Bosch with Haller drives the story better and the courtroom drama is intriguing enough to keep readers on their…

I truly enjoy Michael Connelly novels.. They are fast paced, understandable plots. I like the 'returning' characters (kind of makes you think you know them). This novel reunited Haller, Bosch and Walling. A man who has spent 17 years…

Not the best Connelly book by far, he was setting up future Haller/Bosch meets, no doubt? Good deal of courtroom exposure, not too thrilled with the Haller character in this one, but still a good read.

Always up for a Harry Bosch investigation. Wondering if he will be able to pursue an investigation into the other murders...

Good, solid read but does not deserve all of the 5 star reviews. Simply written and treats readers as if they are a bit thick.

Excellent story once again from Micheal Connelly!

I have read several of his books and this has to be in the top 5. Exciting story line and with Bosch and Haller together it's worth the read!

I guess the first few pages are kinda boring because there's no excitement or suspense. But it does get better. I'm not sure if i liked the ending or if i disliked it... i hope there's a continuation of it though!

Michael Connelly has done it again; The Reversal is innovative and full of intrigue. Once more the courtroom scenes were stellar and I loved the twist that saw Mickey flip over to the prosecution side.

Enjoyed Mickey being on the team for the defense - a different spins to the other books - looking forward to following the charm bracelet in the future

Excellent read - on par with his "Scarecrow". Hopefully there will be a sequel to tie up the loose ends. Five Stars

It was quite interesting because it was about trying to keep someone in jail rather than put them in. And it was good to see it from the prosecution's side for a change rather than the defence. Mickey Haller is trying to prove a guy did…

Not his best work but not his worst either. The book was easy to read and I must admit I still am not sure if I like the way it ended or not.....

A great read, but the finish was pretty anticlimatic.

This is the worst book Michael Connelly has ever written. He is just trading on his name, on the other good books he wrote. Do not waste your time reading this book, and certainly don't buy it.

One of M.Connelly's best about the Lincoln lawyer's trial as a prosecutor. Though the last witness of the defense lawyer turned hostile with lame "gangster tactics", overall, a good read.

A convicted child-killer was released after 24-year imprisonment based on DNA evidence. Longtime defense attorney Haller was persuaded to become the prosecutor to (re)try the child killer. Interesting, incisive, and fast-flowing…
