The Reversal was a quick read that leads the reader on a venture in search of justice. The questions at hand are “is there evidence to support the originally conviction and is the evidence strong enough to obtain a new one”. Michael Connelly does a first-rate job of pulling the reader into the storyline and provides plenty of background information to keep the reader engaged and guessing. This is a quick read that will not disappoint and did not require that the earlier books in the series had been read to enjoy this author’s latest addition to his collection.
