About This Audiobook
Mickey Haller receives a murder victim's final text message, and the victim is a former client, a woman Haller once helped escape prostitution. He carries the guilt of suspecting he may have inadvertently sent her back into danger, and now must defend a suspect the prosecution has built an apparently airtight case against, while running his own investigation into what actually happened. The fifth Lincoln Lawyer novel deepens Haller's moral complexity, making him simultaneously the most motivated person in the room and the one with the most to answer for.
Peter Giles has narrated Haller's story throughout the series, and by the fifth book his performance carries the accumulated history of a character the listener knows well. His Haller is sharper and harder than the earlier installments, and Giles conveys that without making the evolution feel abrupt. The courtroom sequences, where Haller operates at his most brilliant and his most compromised, are the audiobook's particular strength.
