Better than a 3 but just not a 4.

DNF. This was just another lawyer in trouble getting a big case, blah, blah, blah. I thought the story was too slow and it seemed to me that a lot of the dialogue was immature and sophomoric.

Woww what a classic hey another classic novel I can't. Wit for theFifth

This book is a great read if you enjoy courtroom dramas! I’ll definitely check out more of Steve Martini’s books!

The 4th in the Paul Madriani series. In this book, Paul Madriani, defends a judge that he has done battle with in the past. Romance comes into play in this book too and police corrution. Okay book for legal thriller, kept my attention. But ending is a bit over the top.

Brilliantly twisty!

An excellent entry in the Paul Madriani series, this is exciting with very good plot twists and an unusually strong ending. Paul must defend a judge of murder charges. Lenore is especially feisty in this book. Highly recommended.

This is the first Steve Martini novel I've read and I'd have no problem reading more. Comparable to John Grisham when it comes to courtroom drama - but not quite as good, the author tells a good story with believable characters.
I thought the story dragged a bit, mostly because Martini goes into excruciating detail about every little clue or piece of evidence introduced, slowing the story down. Having said that, I enjoyed the story and was surprised when the truth about the real killer was revealed at the very end.
For Grisham fans out there, Martini is worth checking out.

Very well written legal thriller

classic martini. vivid characters, good sets, fantastic courtroom drama.

multiple twists and turns involving friends and enemies.

Madriani top of his form.

the Coconut we have seen before and may later.

A good airport read.

Great suspense! Clean read

I gave this book 5 stars because it kept my interest and also because it did not contain any overt sexuality. And I am very much enjoying this series by Steve Martini.
