Summary: Margolin redefines scarey........again!!!!
Review: Phillip Margolin has again mastered the art of terror in this totally unpredictable novel. He uses startingly discoveries to totally knock the reader off balance as he takes you on the trail of a serial killer, with obviously, deadly results. A young woman, Amanda Jaffe, returns home to join her father in his successful law practice, where she is distracted by a young man, Tony Fiori, she had known and been romantically interested in, while in school. When murders past and present run a collsion course with each other and her life, the action takes off, leaving her and the reader breathless and wondering at the possibilities that they pose. Did the first Dr. Vincent Cardoni get away with murder merely on a technicality? Was he framed? Was his soon to be ex-wife, Dr. Justine Castle a player in this picture? Could it have been someone else? Or did the one of the doctors carefully plan it to look like an outside frame-up? Could it be just a copycat murder? The possibilities seem endless and just when you are sure, Margolin works his magic and you begin to doubt what a chapter or even a page ago seemed logical. After all, does logic even fit into a serial killers modus operandi???? This was another great novel by Margolin!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pedictable
Review: I found this book enjoyable and entertaining but I also found it to be pretty predictable. That was disappointing. I've read all of Phillip Margolin books and for the most part found them to be excellent reads.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Margolin's best yet or close to it
Review: Won't spend time commenting on this book other than to say it is one of his best. Can't put it down - lots of action, suspense, and twists. Fun, entertaining, and enjoyable. Buy it, read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book!
Review: I couldn't put this book down and couldn't seem to turn the pages fast enough! Way to go you can't miss this one!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Obvious
Review: .... No mystery! Obvious who the bad guy is early on. Fortunately, it's a very quick read (big type, wide margins).

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good for reading in the smallest room in the house
Review: I can't imagine what books previous reviewers are reading to consider any of the cheesy cardboard characters in this tome as more than 1 micrometer thick. Lassie Go Home? The real murderer was unmistakably telegraphed on page 127, and even the plot machinations designed to lead us away from this obvious revelation were embarrassingly, pellucidly thin.

I'm always a fan of gristle and gore, and there was that aplenty, but with no great sense of where its maniacal power derived from. "I was an abused child, and now I'm a mega-, multiple-serial killer. Woe is me." Puh-leez.

On the one hand, I finished this in 5 hours flat, and it was something of a page turner. So, if you're working on flogging your melanocytes on the beach, maybe it's worth a read to keep you awake.

If, on the other hand, you're serious about your crime novels and want to linger over some delicious prose and mind-boggling characterizations, you might want to try spending some quality time with anything by Elizabeth George or the fabulous new book from Robert Wilson, A Small Death in Portugal.

Like so many things in life, it's all a matter of priorities!

Review: Fast pace-a good page turner

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is good
Review: After reading just one of his books I went back and read all the othes. This book is written by a master craftsman who never forgets to surprise the reader. A must read for anyone interested in good books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: He has done it again
Review: I read one of his books and had to go back and get all the rest. This is a high caliber ride that leaves you stunned. Margolin is a master craftsman who knows how to write. Well told, detailed and exciting. Read this book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wild Ride in "Wild Justice"
Review: Phillip Margolin's "Wild Justice" exemplifies the writer's love of twist and circumstance. Margolin holds no punches in this fast paced story of murder and deciet, and that's just the beginning! Addictive plots that carry more twists than a rollercoaster at full speed, Margolin test the flaws of human judgement and its eventual consequences. A master storyteller with an brazen side for the macabre, Margolin scores a hit with this insatiable ride in "Wild Justice". Amanda Jaffe, Vincent Cardoni, and Bobby Vasques play viable characters in this off-beat suspense of trust and betrayal. Good to the last sentence. This one's a keeper!
