Rating: Summary: A Great Read Review: I read "Breach of Trust" and thought it was very good, but I enjoyed "Angle of Impact" even more. This book was exciting from the first chapter to the last. I liked that the main character, Dana, was more take charge than the lead female character in "Breach." I didn't find Whit's part as likeable and was a little disapointed he didn't get dumped at the end (he doesn't deserve Dana). MacDougal could have developed some of the characters better, such as the other lawyers Dana worked with. I had trouble putting this book down and would recommend it without reserve.
Rating: Summary: Impossible to put down! Review: This book grabbed me and wouldn't let go until the last page. MacDougal is the Cornwell of novels about the law profession. She painted pictures in my mind, and included a fascinating mix of action and courtroom scenes. I can't wait for more!
Rating: Summary: The talent is there, it just needs to be honed a bit Review: While rushing to a meeting, Philadelphia lawyer, Dana Svenssen is talking on her car phone with a client. Suddenly, the man's helicopter collides with a plane over an amusement park where Dana's two daughters are spending the day. Dana rushes over to the fiery site to insure that her beloved children are okay, which they are. Dana soon finds her car and her home have been burglarized as if someone was searching for something. She also learns that her client's crash was not an accident. However, knowing that makes things worse for Dana, who is now fighting for her life against an unknown assailant(s). ANGLE OF IMPACT is an interesting thriller, with action scenes that are very exciting. However, though Dana is as tough as any male SOB, she garners no empathy from readers. Worse yet, the secondary players have so little depth, they seem to be less than one-dimensional. All that aside, the action based storyline with its' jibes at the legal profession turn Bonnie MacDougal's novel into an exciting novel, though it is NO BREACH OF TRUST. Harriet Klausner
