Summary: Are all so-called legal thrillers this predictable?
Review: As a woman lawyer and avid novel reader, I was intrigued to hear author Mimi Latt speak to a group of us about her transition from litigator to 'best-selling author.' I purchased a copy of her book, Pursuit of Justice, even though I don't typically read mysteries and legal fiction. I was sorely disappointed by the standardized plot, wafer-thin characters, and trite observances. Shouldn't there be a more artistic (or just interesting) way to say "Rebecca felt like she was on an emotional roller coaster"?Halfway through this murder mystery, I was still yawningly unconcerned about who killed Ryan Morland or why. I knew so little about him, I had no reason to care. And his grieving widow, Rebecca, who's supposed to be an attorney herself, makes all the most obvious and stupid mistakes, only because without them, the plot couldn't hold together. I suspect Ms. Latt can do much better than this simplistic, unenergetic tale. I hope she'll try.

Summary: I'm waiting breathlessly for a sequel!
Review: Excellent character development and just the right amount of intrigue. A tightly woven spider's nest that seems to keep catching you by surprise, just as you think you have things figured out! The characters were colorful and believable. I sincerely hope Mimi considers a sequeal involving Rebecca & Daniel. Excellent sizzle material for a future book!

Summary: Very well done
Review: I could really feel Rebecca's stress and drive. The characters all seemed real and were driven by human nature not by plot necessities as I think is often the case. This is the first time I have read Mim Lair, but will not be the last.

Summary: Practically unreadable
Review: I read the other reviews written about this book from other readers and I am dumbfounded!! I cannot believe that one reader thought that the plot was paper-thin. Not true. This book is a real page turner!! Ms. Latt's characters are full bodied and interesting. I truly felt heartache for Rebecca and wanted to choke Catherine and her flipant, snotty and witchy attitude toward Rebecca. In my opinion Rebecca should have flung her off the boat it definately would have been justifiable homicide not to mention an act of kindness on the part of humanity. As with all Ms. Latt's books, I could not put this one down!!! I cannot say enough about Ms. Latt's writing skills and brillant stories.

Summary: A string of cliches.
Review: I usually stop reading poorly written books, but this one had so many cliches I read the whole book, underlining as many gems as I could find. Characters storm out of rooms and tremble with rage, chills run down spines; eyes flutter, plead for understanding, and flicker impatiently; a chin is "stubbornly high"; foreheads are rubbed thoughtfully and hands flutter to various body parts. In the dialog department, characters retort, chuckle, persist gently, say angrily, say with a smirk, muse, sound genuinely contrite, try to sound nonchalant, say curtly and (this is one of my favorites) retort stiffly. In the area of medicine, hearts are constantly racing or hammering, stomachs drop, breathing starts and stops with dramatic regularity. This book gets one star as a serious mystery and about 4 stars as a laugh a minute parady

Summary: Practically unreadable
Review: It is unbelievable to me that anyone could actually praise this book. As a lawyer, I found it totally without credibility in any respect. The characters are amateurishly drawn. This book gives new meaning to the word "cliche."
