I haven’t read much written by Phillip Margolin, but I have enjoyed everything I’ve read up to this point. I did not realize this book was the first one in a new series so that is kind of exciting. Overall I think the story is well written. Set up is done nicely and I did not guess the ending until it was very close. ( )
I generally liked the book, the themes and the storyline, but twisty ending didn't seem believable. Full marks yo the narrator for making the prose come alive. ( )
