Summary: Summer Suspense
Review: I heard Philip Margolin at a University of Toronto suspense author's night, and went out afterwards to check out his works. The guy is on his tenth book, which in itself is a feat. I read part of his current one (Sleeping Beauty) and he read from this, but I'll give it a miss. I picked up a couple of his paperbacks though and Wild Justice is the first one I read. It is a page-turner. The ending became obvious mid way through the book, and the story was less plausible than I'd like, but by the time you realized that, the hook was in. I'll probably read a few of his others.

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.
