Once again, this author has amazed me. Right away, the action begins and I wouldn't expect it any other way with Cavanagh.

The plot was interesting and kept me on my toes the whole time. To be honest, I did feel like the story dragged a little in the beginning. It was not much, but since I'm so used to Cavanagh's books being so thrilling and hard to put down, I noticed it slowed a bit. Although, it easily picked back up and I found myself engrossed once again.

Is it just me or is the setting of this book 80% in the courtroom. I feel like, even though I didn't take away a star because I didn't think it seemed fair, that was the main thing that got me a little annoyed at times. I wanted that action, I wanted that thrill, and that was just hard to get when you're stuck in a courtroom. Don't get me wrong, it was still gripping, but just not as the previous books in my opinion. I understand it's a legal thriller and obviously mainly scenes will be in court, but I began to get a little bored. You know the book is worthwhile though, when the great parts manage to override the small issues.

SOMETHING FUN: I just wanted to say this because I found it funny. In my edition of the book on page 325, I found a typo! It didn't bother me and I wasn't annoyed at all, I just thought it was very interesting and made me laugh. Very rare to spot a typo in a finished, edited, and published book. As you now know, not impossible though.
