Until the Bough Breaks

Summary: the characters make the story
Review: ADA Kathryn MacKay is an extremely competent lawyer. Where she really hooks the reader is in her imperfect private life. She is good at her job, but in motherhood she comes up somewhat short or so she feels. Her relationship with beau David Grantz is on the rocks. Some of the scenes of the breakdown of their relationship were very poignant and hard to read. You genuinely like both these characters.
There is a somewhat standard crime and courtroom case, but it is the characters that keep you flipping the page

Summary: Exciting read
Review: I don't know what it is with this book. The plot is not overly complex or exciting. Quite early on it is clear who is the protagonist and who the victim. The courtroom scenes are not very exciting and, apart from that, build only a minor part of the novel And yet...I found it a very exciting book and read it in almost one session. I think it is the characters which in this fourt novel in the series continue to be well developed and intriguing. Even Emma is nice, where the spoiled brats some of the other female lawyers/detectives are raising, sometimes irritate you away from an otherwise good story. I am looking forward to the fifth...only I hope Mrs McGuire will do something about the very sad ( and perhaps undeserved) ending of this novel

Summary: Kathryn Mackay has done it again!
Review: She's a darn good prosecutor - I just can't read enough of her court victories! It wasn't too hard to figure out ahead of time who the bad guys were, but that did not spoil the reading at all - just the opposite! What compelled these people to do what resulted in their prosecution for first-degree murder??? Read on and find out - it's worth the reading. I was a bit disappointed at the end with the outcome of Kathryn's personal life, but I can't expect every book to end how I think it will end - can I?

Summary: A GREAT book in what I hope will be a long series.
Review: This is a well plotted, excellently written, can't-put-it-down book. The characters are believable and the story line is fast and furious. I am very excited about finding this series and have just ordered the first three. I hope the author is able to keep up with what should be her growing list of fans.

Summary: Poor Dave! They should have met !!
Review: Untill the Bough breaks is a novel which I read in four month. After every gap I restarted it just to see how & in which circumstances they meet. The end was really sad, the poor chap Dave Grantz!!My symapthies are with him. Hope to see them meeting again in a new story.
