The Reversal
The Lincoln Lawyer • Book 3
Narrated by Peter Giles
Why Listen to This Audiobook?
Connelly flips the formula — his defense attorney becomes the prosecutor, and the tension of watching Mickey Haller fight against his own instincts is electric.
- Great if you want: courtroom drama with two iconic characters sharing the stage
- Listening experience: steady, procedural burn that accelerates sharply in the final third
- Narration: Giles handles both Bosch's stoicism and Haller's showmanship without overplaying either
- Skip if: you need to read the earlier Bosch or Lincoln Lawyer books first
About This Audiobook
Mickey Haller has spent his career as a defense attorney, but the DA's office approaches him to prosecute the retrial of Jason Jessup, convicted of a child murder and freed after twenty-four years by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty and takes the case on one condition: he gets to choose his investigator, and he wants LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. The two men who usually occupy opposite sides of the courtroom must work together against a defendant already planning his next crime. Connelly's third Lincoln Lawyer novel is one of his most formally inventive.
Peter Giles handles the Connelly universe's dual-protagonist structure with clarity, giving both Haller's courtroom cynicism and Bosch's implacable moral certainty their proper register without blurring the distinction between them. The Audie Award and multiple other recognitions this entry received reflect both Connelly's exceptional plotting and Giles's command of its delivery. At just under twelve hours, this is one of the most gripping entries in either the Haller or Bosch series.
