The Reversal

The Reversal by Michael Connelly

Any Michael Connelly fans out there? I recently finished “The Reversal” and really liked it. I am adding Connelly to my author list!

Description: “Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.”

Connelly wrote in strong suspense that kept me turning the pages. I didn't love the ending of this one, but I would still recommend it!

New suspense series

For the suspense lovers out there, “The Burying Place” by Brian Freeman is a book to add to your list. The plot follows police detective Stride as he works to solve a missing child case.

Full of twists and turns, Freeman still creates strong, intriguing characters. I didn’t figure out the mystery until the end, which seldom happens…so that earns Freeman brownie points and a spot on my “authors to read” list.
