Favorite Quote: "Nah, I don't want a motorcycle," he said thoughtfully. "I've decided I want a dog. Then we'll be a real family. All we need is a dog. I never had a dog."
Synopsis (PBS): The author of the explosive bestseller Mitigating Circumstances again applies her insider's knowledge of the criminal justice system in a riveting new legal thriller. When Judge Lara Sanderstone's sister and husband are murdered, Lara takes in their teenaged son--who may be a suspect--and Lara may be the next victim.
Review: Now, this was a thriller. A corrupt judge, a pedophile, a murderer with a penchant for rape, another judge who, while she's a good person, is somehow related to all these, and a hard-nosed cop determined to get to the bottom of a real mystery. Fast-paced and easy to read, this book was everything that's good in a thriller.
The main characters were believable. The secondary characters were even better. The bad guys were really bad. I loved it.
Rating: 9 / 10
