Rating: Summary: This is the first Bernhardt book I have read....... Review: Simply, I found this book an easy read. It kept me reading through the night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A must read.
Rating: Summary: Not as good as the previous ones Review: The previous books in the series were very good or excellent, but in this installment Bernhardt delivers an average book. It is still easy to read and entertaining, but there are some things missing. The most clear one is that there is no courtroom events in this "legal thriller". The other thing I didn't like was that the descriptions of the violence are too gory in some parts.After deciding to leave his legal practice in the last book, Ben Kincaid starts playing the piano in a jazz group and is forced to go back to practice when a body drops on top of him during a performance. The the main suspect is Earl, who owns the place and has established a friendship with Ben, since the murdered victim is a former lover. For those of you that follow the series there are a couple of interesting side stories going on with Jones, Christina and Mrs. Marmelstein. Of course I will continue reading this series; at least the next book to see if the quality picks up again.
Rating: Summary: Well thought out ending that brings GREAT closure! Review: This book is face paced, but not too fast that you are lost in the middle of everything. The characters are "real" because they seem more human than a lot of other books. The best part of the book, I thought, was the closure that was brought to the book. Many books just drop off with "this is the end.." and that's it. The ending of this book really feels like an ending. I LOVED this book!
Rating: Summary: don't want to put it down. Get's more and more interesting Review: This book is so interesting to read it's amazing. I am one of the most stingy readers out there. When I read a book, it has to be more interesting than you can imagine. This book combines murder, law, suspense, and suprisingly, jazz. If you like a good thriller, be sure to pick up this one. You won't be able to put it down.
Rating: Summary: Bernhardt is the best! Review: This was the worst installment of Ben Kincaid I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed the other Ben Books, but this one was more like Bernhadt's diary of his own mid-life crisis. What are we to think? He jumps from one thing to another, can't make up his mind, the ensemble cast isn't allowed to help, and it falls flat on its face. I had the murderer pegged and why the second time he made an appearance in the "club". I am very disappointed in this book.

Rating: Summary: Only for hardcore fans Review: Unless you have been reading faithfully Bernhardt's Justice-series books, this book is *not* worth your money. Although I was very impressed with Naked Justice, this next book is a thorough disappointment. The plot is weak, and the story boring. If not for my initial experience with Naked justice, I would never have even continued reading this book after the first chapter. I'll give it a 2-star for at least a decent attempt at a twist in the story. But that's about it.
