Summary: Good reading
Review: See storyline above.Tim Green obviously has no trouble writing about something other than football based novels, as this quite readable suspense novel proves. Just when you think you have it figured out and start cheering on the good guys, you read a little more and go oops! wrong one. Or is it? A good book with a lot of suspense and colorful characters. How about that Donald Sales guy, and what he does to prove a point? I also enjoyed the ending. Overall a very satisfying read. Keep it up, Tim Green, because Grisham has nothing on you. Highly Recommended for legal thriller and suspense fans.

Summary: green starts a new track
Review: Thankfully, Tim Green moves on to another type of fiction and leaves the NFL-based thrillers behind with The Letter of the Law, a serial killer thriller with a legal basis. The main character is a strong female attorney reminiscent of Madison McCall from his NFL fiction. The villain is quite different this time, and that makes for more interesting suspense. This book is not on the level of Greg Iles, for example, but is still entertaining and an easy diversion. Being predictable is not the worst thing a book can be, but it is certainly nice to be surprised too.

Summary: Dreadful
Review: This book did have technically accurate and well-crafted cross-examination scenes. However, the characters were cardboard caricatures. Psychological changes came about in ways that were too abrupt to be believed. The lawyers, without revealing any plot twists, behaved in ways that no ethical lawyer _could_. The computer comments were laughably inaccurate at times (a small gray box described as a "Norton Utility" with a straight face). It's hard to believe that the author is really a lawyer, unless someone else wrote everything but the courtroom scenes. Even the scenes in chambers with the judge didn't ring true. This book mostly reads like a layperson's dream of what being a big-time criminal defense lawyer would be like. You would be better off reading a Scott Turow novel if you are looking for a legal thriller, or even a John Grisham one.

Summary: A little more research next time
Review: This book succeeds or fails on the character actions between Donald Sales and Casey Jordan. For me it failed. Casey Jordon is hot shot criminal defense lawyer who gets a serial killer off the hook. The bad guy is Professor Lipton (as in tea) who gets his jollies carving up women and stealing their gall bladders. Donald Sales is the father of one of Lipton's victims and he has basically two modes of action: suicidal and homicidal. Considering how Law Enforcement generally approaches things like this, Sales should have been locked up and the key thrown away. Instead, he's treated as a Good Ol' Boy. If you know anything about guns, then you'll probably gag on the descriptions. I don't think the author got one right. There is a detective named Bollinger who knows right away that Lipton is the bad guy, but fails to prove the case. Evidence might have helped. There is an FBI guy name Unger who happens the run into Lipton in a high priced whore house. This is just another of the improbable plot developments that you stumble across in this book. Finally, about 20 pages from the end you find out what the connection to the prologue is--pretty weak. This book is a quick, mindless read for a pleasant afternoon.

Summary: Atrocious!
Review: This has to be the worst book I've ever read! I'm on page 274 and while the plot is interesting, I'm debating finishing it. The writing is seriously flawed. Case in point, pg. 6: "Bollinger didn't have to show his badge as he dipped under the yellow tape. They knew who he was." I was just told me he didn't have to show his badge. What is the following sentence for? Why does the reader need to be told the same thing twice? Let the reader figure a thing or two out - it's much more dramatic that way. Read some Hemingway, or Elroy, anything. Less is more! Often there are too many adjectives where only one is needed, leading to seriously purple prose. It may sound as if I'm picking nits, but this seriously damages the novel. The basic plot is halfway decent, although the characters' motivations is often not believable and the descriptions of those motivations doesn't resemble any human psychology I've ever encountered. I almost recommend this book to computer professionals for an absolute howler of a misunderstanding of common computer technology toward the middle of the book. I won't give it away, but you'll at least be amused. Seriously, Tim Green appears to be capable of coming up with interesting plotlines. The book has a lot of the qualities of a page turner - he does a good job of mixing plotlines to keep the reader interested. He needs a much better editor than this book had, and some coaching on plotting.
