Reviews

[Cammy · Rating 2 out of 5]

This could’ve been better. The main substance of the book was good. The writing could’ve been better and there were parts of the book that made me want to stop reading it. When the prosecutor and the lawyer fell in love and a sex scene was inserted I felt like quitting the book. I was like “oh come on”, finish the book already. Sadly I almost quit reading but the plot was good enough that I saw it through to the end.

[Chuck · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a rather pedestrian Washington, D.C. story written in a very amateurish style. The story line is interesting enough that I never considered not finishing it but it is not memorable.
