Best Peter Giles Audiobooks
Peter Giles is an audiobook narrator closely associated with Michael Connelly's Mickey Haller series, having narrated Angels Flight, The Brass Verdict, The Reversal, The Fifth Witness, The Gods of Guilt, and The Law of Innocence. Giles gives Connelly's defense attorney protagonist a voice distinct from Harry Bosch — more urbane and morally slippery, befitting a character who defends the guilty as well as the innocent. The Lincoln Lawyer books require a narrator who can balance Haller's courtroom confidence with the ethical ambiguities he navigates, and Giles manages this with evident skill. His narration of The Scarecrow, a thriller featuring a different Connelly protagonist, shows his flexibility within the author's world. Giles' voice has a Los Angeles quality — confident, slightly world-weary, comfortable in both the courthouse and the street — that suits Connelly's city-specific fiction. He has become the audio identity of the Haller series for its dedicated readership.
