Summary: Exceptional-not to be missed
Review: Rebecca Moreland, a senior staff attorney at a local legal clinic, is happily married to Ryan Moreland, a partner in the prestigious law firm of Taylor, Denison, and Evans. They are desperately in love and hoping for a baby. Their future seems even more secure when Brandon Taylor announces his candidacy for the senate and promises to bring his protégé with him to DC when he wins. On the night of a fund raiser at a yacht, Ryan disappears. Two days later, Ryan's body washes ashore. The officials want to declare his death as a suicide because the partners claim that it was soon to be public knowledge that he embezzled company funds. Rebecca knew her spouse would never have killed himself even if he had committed a criminal action which she doubts he did. She thinks he was murdered and intends to prove it even if it means going up against the most powerful people in the state. PURSUIT OF JUSTICE is a very forceful and believable modern day rendition of David (actually Davidette) vs Goliath. The female protagonist is a heroine who is unafraid to battle with foes who could easily crush her if she was not so resourceful and intrepid. Although there is a lot of action and compelling sub-plots, the heart of this mesmerizing tale lies in the character of Rebecca who never loses faith that her beloved spouse never killed himself, let alone committed a criminal action. Mimi Lott, author of the best selling POWERS OF ATTORNEY, shows that she is a real force in the legal thriller sub-genre. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Like your plot served up on a platter?
Review: The book copy seems to have been spell-checked. That's about the best thing I can say for it, and it's the only thing keeping it from getting one star. The characters are 2-dimensional and boring. I'd say they're predictable, but they continued to surprise me with their actions--only because they were so unbelievably stupid. Forget about the plot. You can't possibly guess the ending simply because Mimi Latt refuses to give you salient clues to the true killer's Why or How until she tells you all about it in the best of Scooby-Do endings. Characters walk into the most implausible situations blindly, and the so-called action sequences--all two of them--last for all of a paragraph or two. Wa-hoo. What suspense. If you like murder mysteries, steer clear of this dog and find something with a bit more, well, mystery.

Summary: a total of waste of trees
Review: While the plot weaves back and forth, the author shows little or no depth of knowledge about any of the plot points and hence the plot situations seem contrived rather than naturally occuring. I actually quit reading this book about 2/3 of the way through. The characters were single-dimensional and I just didn't care about any of them. Both characters and plot were collections of cliches and banalities; on the basis of this book alone, I would avoid anything written by this author.

Summary: so bad I was stunned
Review: Whoowee! It's been a while since I've read a book written so badly in so many ways. The writing style is just one cliche linked to another, as an earlier person noted in their very entertaining review. Then, there's the stupidity of Rebecca, the main character. For example, she's interrogating a weaselly lawyer who worked with her husband and catches him in a lie. She was then "stunned" that he was lying to her. She continues to be "stunned" when she gets threatening phone calls, when other people lie to her, when her house is robbed - even though she's digging around the seamy world of politics and throwing around the phrase "my husband was murdered." What does she expect? Read this pathetic mess for a laugh and nothing else.
