Within the Bosch series, Michael Connelly has written the Lincoln Lawyer series which consists of seven books, and I’ve been on a quest to read any of the Connelly novels that I’ve missed, or reread others. The Gods of Guilt is his fifth Lincoln Lawyer story, and unlike the rest of his catalogue, this one may not have been the best. The title is a reference to the jury to which he pitches his stories. By reminding himself that all accused people have a right to a good defense, Haller harnesses his own guilt over helping to free some people and reduce the sentence of others who have done truly bad acts against fellow humans. This is mostly a courtroom drama. As usual Connelly has created a cast of characters that are present and enrich the experience. His first ex-wife with whom he had his one child, is a skilled prosecutor, and his second wife is his case and office manager. Meanwhile, she has gotten married to his investigator. Over the course of his drama, Micky Haller goes through the ups and downs of a litigator, first having a great plan for a trial which then falls apart only to head in a different direction. Although Connelly's best, I was adequately entertained as I listened to the audio version while continue my early morning dog walking activities.
