Summary: A full speed ahead Mystery/Thriller
Review: The pace of the story leaps out, grabs the reader, and keeps on moving. I look for the novel that I have a tough time putting down, and when I do, I want to pick it up again ASAP. Wild Justice is that kind of book. Margolin is refreshing in that he doesn't try to show us how smart he is by crafting a complicated plot using high brow dialogue. His stuff is straight forward and contains little embellishment; in that regard, he reminds me somewhat of Agatha Christy. Only 4 stars because a few acts committed by the characters seemed to unrealistic-especially by Dr. Cardoni to himself; however, this book is worth the read.

Summary: Go back to Gone...
Review: I have read several of Margolin's books, most recently Wild Justice. With each one, I am increasingly disappointed. It's not just that most of his dialogue is stiff, and that his characters are relatively one dimensional. Margolin too often states the obvious in terms of what the individual is feeling when he could convey the same feelings through a better description. This is no small point, and now that I am aware of it, I find it distracting in every Margolin book.That said, I think he is very creative in his stories. Wild Justice is a fine example of this. The story is unique, clever, and true to life--at least given my limited relevant experiences as an attorney. My biggest problem with this book is that it is painfully obvious from very early in this book who the culprit is. It's not as bad as The Burning Man, but it's close. I don't claim to be that bright, but even I could figure this one out. If you are looking for a Margolin book to read, pick up Gone, But Not Forgotten. It too has a unique, clever story and kept me guessing until the end. Yes, some of the dialogue there is wooden and its characters are one dimensional, but given a good mystery, I guess I'm just a little more forgiving.

Summary: Creepy, but a Great Read!
Review: Philip Margolin has done it again - written a real "page turner". Wild Justice is not for the weak-stomached reader, though. Instead, its gory descriptions are a little like driving past a car wreck, you have to look even if you're scared to. Well in this novel, you have to keep reading the desciptive passages, but you aren't sure you want to. My only complaint is that the "red herring" was too obvious. For the real mystery-lover, you know that the killer can't possibly be the person all fingers point to from the first 50 pages, so I felt a little irritated that they expected me to buy the villian set up at beginning, as the true bad guy. However, the book truly delivers thrills and chills, and sets up the plot in a completely enjoyable way.

Summary: OK, but easy to figure out
Review: As I read in a review one time, "if you are a mystery fan and you can't figure out whodunit you need a new hobby". Overalll the book was just OK, nothing new or exiting. I didn't even think it was all that "gross" or anything. One of the book jacket comments compared Wild Justice to Harris' "Red Dragon", this book is not nearly in that class.

Summary: Fast paced and exciting
Review: Wild, exciting, full of suspense and very fast paced. I loved it. I bought the audio cassette and it might not have been a good idea to listen to it while driving to work. I was so into it that I found myself driving a little erratic. The story is filled with suspense and I kept thinking, I knew who the killer was. Just the thought of people waking up with missing organs or beind killed and their organs stolen is a scary thought. The plot thickens as the story goes on and it's filled with twists. I really got into it.

Summary: Margolin has another winner.....
Review: I too was among those that new early on who-dunnit. Nevertheless I throughly enjoyed this book. I think it is almost impossible to write this type of book and not reveal some clues as to who the culprit is unless you have absolutely no character development. I do not think this automatically detracts from the story. I would recommend this book to anyone, all though it may not be for the squeamish. <Ree-views>

Summary: Wild Justice: Great Suspense
Review: Wild Justice was my first book by Phillip Margolin. After Wild Justice I raced back to read the reviews of his other books and then ordered them. AND I will be watching for his next book! In Wild Justice, Dr. Vincent Cardoni, a surgeon with a disgusting personality and abusive temperment appears to have created a horrifying crime. Amanda Jaffe, an inexperienced new criminal defense lawyer is anxious to get her chance in court, but is concerned about getting Cardoni found not guilty when he may actually be a serial killer. Cardoni claims he was "set up" After he is freed, he stages his own death, and years later his wife Justine,also a doctor, is accused of the same kind of murders that Cardoni had been accused of. She too claims she has been set up. The only thing for certain is that many innocent people have been tortured and killed. Who is this serial killer? Read the book!

Summary: Be ready to be up all night
Review: Outstanding page turner. Well written and plausible. I found myself up to all hours reading this book. It never ceases to amaze me how some authors have the ability to come up with plots and twists, yet keep it all together and not confuse or overwhelm. GOOD READING

Summary: yuck
Review: this book is only for people who like nonstop blood and gore. character after character is brutally murdered, and that was only in the first 30 or so pages. it's kind of like reading a steven seagall movie. if that appeals to you, this book is for you.
