Absent Witness

Summary: FANTASTIC -- GREAT
Review: Kept my interest from the very beginning -- Only problem was that I wanted to read all night & not put it down. Love your style -- Kept me in suspense -- couldn't guess the ending. (The person from Virginia must have been reading someone elses book! )

Summary: FANTASTIC -- GREAT
Review: Nancy Kopp really knows her stuff. This thriller kept me guessing till the end. A comatose patient in a hospital is mysteriously raped and impregnated and a bulldog female attorney will stop at nothing to find the rapist. Fast-paced page turner. Great dialogue and memorable characters. I hated for the story to end. How about a sequel, Nancy?

Summary: Appalling!
Review: That Nancy Kopp can get away with furthering the suggestion that white, upper-middle-class young men don't commit rapes is too appalling for words. We get the statement that "The Buckleys are an upstanding, upper-middle-class family. The idea that anyone who knows them would rape a woman in a coma is ludicrous." The nice boyfriend couldn't possibly be suspect because "Todd was one of the two or three top students in the class. He was bright. He was eager to learn. And he was a gentleman." Furthermore, "the young man was a third-year law student at the University of Chicago, and he was from a good family" so he obviously couldn't be a rapist. Sure enough, the rapist ends up being the only person of color in the book (Cuban). The only reason I read this book to the end was because I'm compulsive that way and have to finish a book once I've started it! But I'm so glad I only borrowed a copy from someone else, and didn't actually pay for this appalling book.

Summary: Well Done and a Can Not Put Down Book
Review: This was my second book of Nancy Kopp. This one was very good. I did not even want to turn on the T.V. the night I started this. You think you have the guilty person all figuered out, and then you learn how wrong you were. I will now be looking forward to any book that has Nancy Kopp on the cover.
