Summary: Top Notch!
Review: There is a killer out there who is possessed of the lethal combination of medical knowledge and a sick, twisted mind. The question is, who is it -- and how can s/he be stopped?
Amanda Jaffe, a criminal defense attorney, is on the defense team for Dr. Vincent Cardoni, a smug, unlikable surgeon who is accused of several murders involving acts of brutal, yet exquisitely skilled torture. Cardoni is let off the hook on a technicality, however, before the case even goes to trial.

Four years later, Jaffe is hired again to represent a defendant accused of similar killings. This time the suspect is none other than Cardoni's estranged wife. Jaffe persistently digs to the bottom of this mystery and learns the chilling truth behind these unthinkable crimes.

Margolin does a great job all around on this one. The characters are interesting, the villains are despicable, and the suspenseful plot keeps you guessing until the unforgettable ending.

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.
