Summary: Unlike other Margolin books, this strains believability
Review: Usually an excellent story teller, Margolin has relied on a completely predictable "plot twist." Worse, the twist depended on his experienced and other-wise intelligent protagonist doing something that not even a half-wit attorney would do (nor would even a half-wit reader believe).

Summary: The scariest Mystery I've ever read
Review: Very good plot - full of twists and excellent tension building scenes. Sometimes the tension was so tight that I almost couldn't stand to read on. A good job of building up to the answer to who dunnit. Complex, but believable. If you want to curl up with a good scary read, read this book!

Summary: An excellent read, compelling, fast speed.....but...
Review: Very gripping.., like driving a race car at fast speed in a road with many bumps, twists and turns. This is my second Philip Margollin book, my first one was The Last Innocent Man and what I see in both of them is that the author is centered on the going of the action and very skillful to create packed suspense out of the most simple circumstances. However. In my opinion as a reader, Mr Margollin should develop more deeply all his characters (lawyers, cops, judges, criminals), I mean, to give more dimensions to them besides their role in respect of the action, and also to provide more vivid and colorful descriptions of the settings (Cities, Houses, Courts, Cars, Whatever) where they play. In some chapters the mistery is not worked enough and in some events the situation is so simple that one can anticipate what is coming (I will not mention them for the benefit of other readers), so it is necessary to add other false clues to confuse and deceive the reader. Overall, is a good book in terms of action and suspense, I like it very much and took a weekend to finish it. Great company for a rainy day at home or a cloudy day in the beach.

Summary: This book stayed with me awhile
Review: You've probably already read a synopsis of the book, so I won't waste more of your time. This was the first book I'd read by him. I had never heard of Philip Margolin before I read the book, and now I can't understand why. This book was written so well, and I just couldn't put it down until I finished. It's not one of these books that drags on and seems to go nowhere until the last minute. This book catches your attention and keeps it. Later after I'd read it, I still found myself returning to the story and thinking about some of the characters.
