In the year before we started this blog I had read eight Michael Connelly books. It isn't that they are the greatest books, but they are fun and enjoyable and don't require too much thought. Plus you can usually find them at library book sales for fifty cents. So after taking a break from Connelly I finally picked up the latest book in his Lincoln Lawyer series, The Fifth Witness. This time lawyer Mickey Haller has to defend a woman who is accused of murdering a banker that is foreclosing on her house.The book was fairly enjoyable, but I kept waiting for some kind of twist in the case to make it a bit more interesting... and then in the last chapter we finally get the twist and find out how the crime was really committed... and it is pretty much the same "surprise" as in two other Lincoln Lawyer books, except this time it happens after the case is closed. A bit of a disappointment. This one gets a C+. I do recommend the first book in the series though, The Lincoln Lawyer, or see the movie which follows it pretty closely.
