Summary: Just not very good.
Review: A co-worker of mine read this after it had been recommended by a friend. But she was disappointed when she finished it. I should have listened to her and skipped it, but I didn't have anything else to read at the time, so I gave it a shot.The plot is fast-paced, and exciting, but there really isn't much more to it, besides a lot of bodies, blood and gore. The characters are completely unrealistic and shallow, and the "twist" at the end is easy to see coming. I had it figured out around page 125 somewhere. If you like a page-turner with lots of violence, you may enjoy this book. Otherwise, it's not worth the time.

Summary: A bit too easy to figure...some good moments though
Review: This was my first Margolin book and it was a decent read. I really liked Amanda and Frank Jaffe. They are sympathic leads. However, book tries to be a serious and complex mystery, but I figured it out well before the end. In fact, some of my questions about the murderer were not answers. I don't want to ruin the book and put my questions here, but I still don't quite understand the frame-ups. Why? The dialogue here is a bit too wooden and the plot too bizarre.

Summary: Couldn't put it down!!
Review: One of the best thrillers I've read in a long time. This is the 2nd book I've read by this author. Heartstone was very good, but this one much better. I intend to read all of Margolin's books after this one.
