Totally awesome- capitalising- intense- great read-- the second of this series- I will now get the third one- can't wait
This was a well written, many faceted legal thriller. There were many twists and turns to keep it interesting and yet still a believable plot. I purchased the rest of the series and look forward to her new adventures.
It is always so exciting to discover a new author who knows how to write intelligently and who clearly has the credentials to make her stories credible. I REALLY enjoyed this book...found myself wanting to get back to it as frequently as I could, and did, until I HAD to race through the final chapters to get to the ending. Immediately ordered the next book in the series, and will obviously read everything written by this excellent new author. Like Elmore Leonard recommends, she, too, understands that the secret to good writing is to leave out all the stuff people skip over. Loved the fast pace of this book, and she's another "Michigander," so GO BLUE!!!
This is my second 5 star Robin James novel and am waiting to buy her third. She continues to be an exceptional storyteller and I much look forward to her next courtroom thriller.
...a thrilling courtroom/crime drama! What a great story... with edgy suspense thrown in. Kept me guessing until the very end!
