Legal thrillers seem boring in theory to me, but Martini's are good fun reads and this one has a nice couple of twists.

Typical Martini story. Murder, Lawyers, Cops.....good story.

The King of Cross

Martini does terrific cross examination The stories get a bit convoluted but trial scenes are great with lots of little philosophical musings along the way

He's a pro

Well written, suspenseful, complicated, great characterization. You never know what really is happening until the very end. Poignant, well worth your time.

Haven't finished this yet but I love it - am on the edge of my seat trying to figure it out....

Took this camping with me because it was a paperback and easy to carry. I found the story interesting and easy to read but the ending really came out of left field - a little Deus Ex Machina. Not sure if all the other books have similar types of endings but I would be willing to read more by this author. It could be interesting to try and figure out which obscure character was the real perpetrator of the crime. Would probably give this 3.5 stars.

Someone had thought a Lisa Scottoline novel would be better than this book. That is like comparing apples and oranges as they are very different types of books. Having read Scottoline's "Most Wanted" I would say Double Tap has been elevated to 3.75 stars.

"Double Tap" is an intriguing murder mystery with an underlying story about the federal government's Information for Security program and the software company that benefits from this spyware initiative. Martini brings back attorney Paul Madriani to defend the murder suspect, a former Army marksman. The plot was well-designed and executed and the characters were well-written. For those concerned with privacy, it's a little disconcerting to think that the government can so easily eavesdrop on Internet surfing. Martini was at his best, creating cyber villains that are perhaps not so fictional. Overall, it's a great read.

Paul Madriani, California

Not for me... But to be fair, thriller's not my favourite genre

As usual, Paul Madriani is plunged into a controversial legal and political mystery. Reading this was like dancing a tango. Stepping all over the place then being dragged into positions only a contortionist could make. But in the end, just like the tango, you're happy and in love with the great experience of having read this story.

Kiss or Kill

I read books all the time ..Reading gives me enjoyment and keeps my mind working, sometimes overworking like this book did. Twists and turns
, ups and downs misinformation current events murder,mayhem, even a little sex. you name it it’s in this book. You try to stay ahead of what’s happening, but you can’t , courtroom drama and surprise twists and finally you realize
You can see the end. Absolutely a great read, you won’t realize until the very end “ Who Done It” and then it all falls into focus.
