The author's style is fluid and easy to read. The plot took several surprise turns, which I liked very much. In other words I didn't find it predictable or formulaic. The action sequences were exciting and well done as was the trial. I've worked in the Cleveland court system for fifteen years and I can say with some assurance it was pretty accurate. One of the things I generally look for in a novel is solid characterizations and I wasn't disappointed. I would have liked to see a bit more of Katherine Adams however. She's not only whip smart, but funny. She and John Delaney, an ex-New York homicide detective, turned lawyer make a great pair. I hope the author writes more about these two.

I'm a fan of courtroom drama and this is one of the better examples I've seen. The plot moves quickly with a lot of twists that keep you guessing until the end. I've also read "Majestic Descending" which is the first book in this series and was really pleased with that as well. This nice thing is you don't have to read them in sequence.
