À propos de cet audio
INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES THE LINCOLN LAWYER–THE #1 TV SHOW ON NETFLIX
Defense attorney Mickey Haller is forced to bend the law until it breaks when he is hired to defend a man accused of killing a prostitute in this novel of courtroom suspense, the "best one yet" (The Washington Post).
Mickey Haller gets the text, "Call me ASAP—187," and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game.
When Mickey learns that the victim was his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow path, he knows he is on the hook for this one. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in the life. Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who put her in danger.
Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Mickey must work tirelessly and bring all his skill to bear on a case that could mean his ultimate redemption or proof of his ultimate guilt. The Gods of Guilt shows once again why "Michael Connelly excels, easily surpassing John Grisham in the building of courtroom suspense" (Los Angeles Times).
©2013 Michael Connelly (P)2013 Hachette AudioCe que les critiques en disent
"The combination of this fast-paced courtroom drama and Giles's steady and consistent narration makes for an engrossing listening experience…Giles's rich portrayals help listeners differentiate the multiple characters as Haller becomes convinced that his client is not only innocent but also the victim of an elaborate setup involving local police and DEA agents." (AudioFile)
"Connelly knows when to put his foot on the gas and when to take it off. Once he has you on board, turning the pages, you won't want to climb off." (Boston Globe)
"Haller is the kind of slick, cynical showman who can't resist making high drama out of every legal procedure....There's always something deadly serious behind Connelly's entertaining courtroom high jinks" (New York Times Book Review)
the story was interesting. I highly recommend this audio book if you like books about crime and trial

Spellbinding story. One of the best from Connelly

In the 5th Lincoln Lawyer novel, Michael Connelly does what he does best with the legal thriller series, this time it feels like his edges extra sharp. Like in most of Connolly's work, he has worries both inside and outside of the courtroom as well as his own personal inner battles to worry about. And all of it revolves around one central theme, Guilt.
This is certainly the best written Lincoln Lawyer book in the series so far, and as of the writing of this review there are only two more ahead of it. Either of those could contend with this one for the best written, but this book certainly has a level of emotional pacing that could very well rival the next two. (Though book 6 and 7 have strong stories and themes in their own right.)
Also, unlike most of the other Lincoln Lawyer books, while they all can be read on their own, this one benefits greatly from having read another book in the series, namely the first one. There are some characters that return from the first book, and though you can get by just fine without having read it, it will increase your enjoyment to a certain degree. (Same goes for The Reversal, another previous Lincoln Lawyer book, if you're concerned about why he's struggling in his family life, though the broad Strokes of that one are also clearly conveyed.)
One warning about the ending though, this one comes fast and is both intense and unexpected. Fortunately, the author does wrap things up well and ties up all the loose ends. Though you might feel a little rattled by how the case ends, Haller and Associates come out satisfying wins.
One of the best Lincoln Lawyer Novels

In this display of courtroom intrigue, Haller draws from his team's investigation and acumen to prove the innocence of his client. Meanwhile, faces from past novels resurface... some with goals to destroy his client.

What I found insulting was that several times it was female characters that were chosen to say they 'didn't understand'. this enabled the author, through the character of the lawyer to over-explain what was going on. As the listener, I received it as condescending.
Preformer has a clear voice and is able to make the listener feel like they are seeing the events as the main character did.
