Week #19 – The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly

Welcome to 2023!  On Mondays this year, let’s discuss and have fun with books. No I’m not writing book reviews. But this website is for writers, and writers like books right? So let’s have FUN with books!

Week #19 – The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly

Michael “Mickey” Haller is a criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles County who doesn't have a formal office but works out of a Lincoln Town Car. 

Most of his clients are drug dealers and gangsters, but he takes on the case against a wealthy Los Angeles realtor, Louis Roulet, accused of assault and attempted murder.

I drive a 10yo Kia Rio.

2013 Kia Rio

It's not the the smallest street-legal vehicle in the US.

Microcar

But it's small just the same. I love this car because it has been reliable over the past 190,000 miles, gets 35+ mpg, and it's small enough that I can park it almost anywhere, even when I drive to crowded downtown Los Angeles. 

I don’t think I could ever use it as a mobile office!

What about you? What kind of car do you drive? Do you use it as an office? Tell us in the comments!
