A Certain Justice

Summary: A great story with a greater message.
Review: This book may be the best of this author's. I'm sorry I didn't read it earlier. Although the familiar Dismas Hardy is not the central figure of this book - you will recognize other central characters from other Lescroart work. I found this book to be very thought-provoking, fair, and unbiased in presenting the reader with a story that could happen in any city (and probably does happen to some extent more often than we wish to think). The reader cannot ignore the depth of fears, prejudices, attitudes, and personal agendas than hinder the progress of race relations in our country. You'll not be able to put the book down until you've read the last word.

Summary: An original political thriller
Review: This book, a political thriller has an original plot and is interesting enough to keep the reader riveted as never slackens its pace. Had the author added more twist and turns throughout all the story, it would have been more attractive and enjoyable and had also the author recreated more action packed suspense i.e.(the FBI tracking down Shea- the Pizzaiola shop episode) it would have been a hell of a -blockbuster--could-not -put- it- down. From my experience as a reader, in this book all the situations involved are solved in a short time and then the story goes back on. Overall, this novel has some twist and turns at the beginning, the run in a straight line and repeats the same scheme at the end with a lot of surprises. It is a fairly entertaining book and I would recommend it.
