Death Penalty (A Charley Sloan Courtroom Thriller)

Rating:
Summary: A Winner
Review: This book is a gripping read, and does not insult a lawyer's intelligence. The central character, outside of his personal morals, is an admirable lawyer with whom one cannot help but empathize. And tho there are evil lawyers and judges portrayed, the book does not seek to demonize the profession, and at the end the lawyer hero does not go off to some tropical island so he won't have to practice law any more. A most welcome relief to the lawyer-bashing books a la Grisham. One of the best legal thrillers I have ever read.

Summary: Satisfying on all levels
Review: This is a simple, direct story that works. It doesn't let the reader down in any way, from first page to last. The plot is sensible, the side-plots are engaging, and the characters are deftly drawn with a few short sentences.

Summary: Waste of time.
Review: This was not a good book. The main character was unlikable and the plot could be guessed at every turn. I have a chapter to go to finish this. I will read it while I stand in line somewhere. Not worth actually sitting down to finish.

Summary: Excellent writing!! Enjoyed every page !!
Review: William Coughlin has a way of keeping you hanging on and won't let you go. Just when you think you know what is going to happen, he comes up with a surprise. The more I read, the more I wanted to read!! Although most people hate lawyers, this one was actually human!
