3 out of 5 stars Better than most   February 16, 2002
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Started out slow but built right up into an interesting story. I wouldn't call it a thriller tho. I'll be
keeping an eye out for his next offering.



5 out of 5 stars Keeps you thinking every page!   December 4, 1999
 2 out of 4 found this review helpful

Book was very well written, and kept me thinking. These type of books are fantastic. I hadn't read for a while, but for some reason this one caught my eye. Don't want to say much so as not to give it away, but nice book overall.


3 out of 5 stars Pretty good book with old plot line   August 20, 1999
I read this book over a three day period and was alternately disappointed and surprised as I read it. The externals of the story are hardly new. A burned out, formerly idealistic public defender flees the big city to practice law in a small town only to become embroiled in the most sensational case to ever hit the small town. Nothing too new there.

What is new, however, are the scary and disturbing details as to why Davey Alden commited perjury and the depraved people that prey on innocent children, even in small towns. That part of the book was truly refreshingly different, although certainly difficult to read without being horrified.

While the story had some interesting turns, it was disappointing to me that, except for Davey Alden, all the characters at the end of the story where as they were at the beginning of the story. No one really changed despite a tumultous ride.

The author's portrayal of the judges and the games lawyers play with each other certainly seemed credible. It's an entertaining read.


5 out of 5 stars Good first attempt   July 19, 1999

I found this book by accident and just bought it. I am glad I did. The story held my interests and it was a refreshing book with twists and turns and I did not expect the "bang at the end". It reminded me of the early Grisham novels. I just hope he stays fresh and gives us more of not the same, but different reading.


5 out of 5 stars An interesting book, I enjoyed reading it   April 3, 1999

Legal 'thrillers' are not generally an interest of mine. I read the book on a recommendation, and found it to be very good. The characters were well developed, and the ending was unexpected.
