Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The latest in Michael Connelly's character driven novels is not very good. I kept wishing that Mickey Haller would get killed off. But I was truly finished with this book when Connelly joined the group of multi-millionaire authors who feel the need to include their hatred of Donald Trump in the story line. In Connelly's case he not only gave his readers his opinion of Trump but also portrays a possible juror as a "jury Judy". One of Haller's flunkies identifies the woman as a problem after seeing a Trump bumper sticker on the woman's car! Haller then sums up the potential juror as someone for whom " truthfulness is not part of her framework". This sentence, by the way, from a writer who stated in an interview that he " never wants to tell people what to think in my books. I don't want to be didactic". But insulting and hypocritical re your readers is just fine? This book was released about 10 days after the election so the jury Judy character was really his way of forcing his political opinion on unsuspecting readers. Bosch is getting old, Haller is a moral loser and Connelly's hypocrisy lost him a former fan.
