Summary: A Five-Star Follow-Up to Her Debut Legal Thriller
Review: Rose Connor's second crime novel, "Temporary Sanity," picks up where "Absolute Certainty" left up. Former ADA Marty Nickerson is now a criminal defense lawyer caught up in defending two accused murderers. The story grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go until the last. Nickerson is a strong, intelligent, and often wryly humorous protagonist who cares deeply about the law and justice. The main storyline, her defense of a father who has killed the murderer of his young son, is compelling and heart-wrenching. The characters are likable and believable, the courtroom scenes are well-drawn, and the threads of the storyline are neatly brought together in a slam-bang climax. Connor's books are a great addition to the legal thriller genre. If you like Perri O'Shaughnessy and Lisa Scottoline, you'll love Rose Connors.

Review: This was a great book!! Just like Absoute Certainty, this is a book you can't put down!!
The characters are so real. The tension is felt in every page.
I love the heroine- she is so down to earth and smart.
Deals with real emotion, real issues, real courtroom drama.

Summary: Good reading mystery
Review: Thoroughly enjoyable courtroom procedural; it appealed to me quite a lot and I thought it a pretty darn good first novel. My fave bit occurs when the prosecuting attorney, after having been accused by defendent's attorney of trying to silence her, yells in response: "... the National Guard couldn't silence her." The resolution was not unexpected so much as unrealisted.
