( ) jothebookgirl | Jan 3, 2017 | Recently I've been kind of "stuck" - can't get into any books - so I've been rereading the Wagons West series and decided maybe what I needed was to try a different genre again, so I requested this one from the library. I did enjoy it - but I'm still burnt out on the genre. I was bored throughout most of the book. Of course the book is dated, too, with outdated technology especially, and I remembered who the murderer was the mystery part of the book wasn't a mystery to me. I do recommend the book to those who do enjoy the crime / legal dramas (  ) anastaciaknits | Oct 29, 2016 | no reviews | add a review

I really enjoyed this fast paced legal thriller. Published in 1995, it seems a bit outdated in many places. The characters need to be a bit more developed but that's normal in a debut novel. I see there are now thirteen books in the Nina Reilly series and I definitely plan to pick up another one in the future. It's not John Grisham, but I didn't expect it to be. While a little too long, it was still an entertaining read.
