Average Rating: 
Rating: - Good Characters and Courtroom Drama, but Lots of Explicit Sexual Assault
This book started out extremely well, carried on strongly through the middle and then, though it tailed off significantly in the last section, concluded satisfactorily. Had the final portion been as good as the start and the middle, it would rate five stars.
The strengths here are the development of the main characters and the care of the presentation of the legal machinations. While not at the level of a Scott Turow book in these categories, it is infinitely better in these ... Read More
Rating: - The Search For Truth
I recently completed this witer"s newest work, Exile, and wanted to back and read some of his earliest work. The book is well thought out and its characters are extremely well developed. In many ways, I found similarities to his recently published work. In both cases, one finds an idealistic attotney who takes a case that is high profile in nature with little upside existing for him. He is a staunch defender of finding the truth, even it will lead to personal harm or harm to the case that is being tried. ... Read More
Rating:  - The Best Legal Thriller Ever. Period.
Over the years, whenever I've gotten into a discussion of books with people, the topic always comes to legal thrillers. Without hesitation I have recommended this book to every single person who likes the genre, and there has never been a person that's been disappointed by their experience reading this.
Patterson's story and delivery are pitch-perfect, and the courtroom scenese and investigation prior to the trial are top notch. Unlike many of the modern legal thrillers, a great deal of this ... Read More
Rating: - Great plot, flabby ending
This is a paramount plot, one of a kind for smart guys, where the reader is forced to think deeply in order to medidate about all the offered scattered events so as to understand how the situations unfold and relate
Characters are very well created and developed and some of them relate to RNP other books.
As we approach the ending, we expect Judge Masters ruling with total anxiety, however this is solved fast paced in just one chapter leaving a bitter taste after 500 pages of legal ... Read More
Rating: - 8 stars please !!!
Fantastic!!!!. This book is going to go into my top 100 paperback reads of my life. I mean this is a book that has a basic plot which is kind of steered in such a manner to make it really look more complicated. The beauty of the book is the mixing of the flashbacks with the present. I mean few authors given this basic plot line could have told a story which is pushed forward by such amount of sheer relentless tension and suspense for over 500 odd pages. Mr paget is a attorney acting as defence for an alleged ... Read More
