Reader reviews for The Lincoln Lawyer

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.15 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.

4.15 / 5 (165 total reviews)

Reviewers largely praised The Lincoln Lawyer as a sharp, twist-heavy legal thriller with brisk pacing and assured prose. Mickey Haller’s mobile-office premise and morally ambiguous approach were compelling to most, though one reader criticized his ethics and another found the cop-lawyer friction repetitive. Many preferred the book to the film; audiobook listeners lauded Adam Grupper’s narration despite dated CD track breaks. Readers highlighted believable legal detail and themes of conscience, family, and loyalty, with several eager to continue the series.

Readers say this book is:

twisty engaging well-paced entertaining gritty character-driven morally gray authentic legal detail suspenseful smart

From the publisher

The bestselling legal thriller--and upcoming Netflix series--has charismatic defense attorney Mickey Haller taking on a slam-dunk court case involving a Beverly Hills playboy--but as it spirals into a nightmare, he finds himself in a fight for his life.

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers--they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice.

A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal--this time to save his own life.
