Summary: Really 3 1/2 Stars!
Review: I like this author. I read "All Fall Down", which was thoroughly enjoyable, unique, and intelligently written. This book is the same, just not quite as. Again, his writing is so intelligent and insightful, and this is what escalates this novel to a higher realm. This is a good story, a good read, and has plenty of twists. Definitely recommend it, especially if you like this author.

Summary: Amazing legal thriller author!
Review: I read this book in two days - I simply could not put it down. This particular book dealt with a computer encryption case and the details of the author's research was truly amazing. The female protagonist was written very well - I hope he will continue with the character in a later book. The legal twists and turns were fascinating, as were the detailed trial scenes. Upon finishing this book, I immediately ordered his other three.

Summary: Tight plot with plenty of twists and turns
Review: Lee Gruenfeld has written a gripping story that keeps the reader constantly probing to determine the direction the story will carry him. The main character is a strong woman who makes mistakes, but also adapts, to make the most of a difficult circumstance. This is one of those books that keeps you resentful of the everyday interuptions that prevent your finishing it. A riveting novel that pulls you ever deeper into the plot.

Summary: Not the usual superficial legal thriller
Review: This book was a step up from the legal thriller novel that has become very popular today. The reason is that it was not as superficial as are most such thrillers. I love and read most of the others, but this one was different and better. There was detail that is lacking in most legal works of fiction. The author reminded me of Tom Clancy in that the detail was substantial but interesting. Many readers do not like Clancy because he goes into too much detail for a casual reader, but Gruenfeld does what Clancy does best without the depth of detail that bore those without the patience or desire to learn or delve into detail or reality, and who seek only to enjoy. I heartily recommend the book to lawyers or others trained in the legal field as it comes across as muuch more authentic than most.

Summary: OH, THE HALLS OF JUSTICE
Review: Wow, how I enjoyed this book. I am completely surprised that Gruenfeld did not receive more reviews here on Amazon.com--only 9... Truly, the cost should have sent a message that this was not one of the usual novels. And, I surely agree. This was a fabulous read. I enjoy legal stories and this one tops Grisham's books. I also have an affinity with this book as I, too, have a computer background. Thanks to Gruenfeld he had the ability to marry the two fields with the human experience and walked away with my heart. Rebecca Verona was an ace attorney and her client was betting his life (or prison term) on her ability to set him free. Notwithstanding the fact that he (a computer business millionaire) had aborted a recent love affair with her, he knew if she would defend him inspite of their past relationship (well know by all) that her defense would send the message that he was innocent of the charge of treason. Weaved into the plot was the workings of encryption, sabatoge, computer theft, and oh yes--the prosecuting attorney who also was a recent ex-lover of Rebecca. Can't you see this being reality. Life is often very complicated as this story plays out. I highly recommend this book and hope that Gruenfeld keeps these wonderful books coming.
