Checking Out Michael Connelly's "The Reversal"

Started Michael Connelly's "The Reversal." He uses the technique of first-person POV for lawyer Mickey Haller, then third-person for other characters, including Harry Bosch.

I've done this once and found it to be a distracting. These days I either stick to first person as in most of the Lassiter series, alternating first person between two characters, as in the "Solomon vs. Lord" series, or pure third person, shifting POV, as in "Illegal."

Anyone out there have opinions on shifting POV from first to third and back?
