I've read 'em all & this film gets in the whole plot!

It followed the book faithfully, and the book was written by a good craftsman: Michael Connelly. The one missing element was the relationship with his late father, which was explored more in the book; but when a novel is made into a film, something has to get cut. <br /><br />The character is one of several continuing characters in Connelly's universe. (His half-brother is LAPD detective Hieronymus Bosch.) He made cameos in a couple of Bosch books, and is the main character in THE LINCOLN LAWYER, THE BRASS VERDICT, and the new one THE REVERSAL. In the latter he is joined by Harry Bosch and by his ex-wife Maggie McPherson (known as Maggie McFierce).TheOFloinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756711106266484327noreply@blogger.com
