Good novella.
Liked his writing style, gave short introduction of main characters. So far not much about his wife I liked. Fast moving discoveries ended courtroom drama very suddenly.

Fast, easy read.
Fast, easy read. Good for long plane ride. Nothing wrong with the writing, but nothing compelling about it either. I think author will improve with time. For now, good story, but the writer seems to feel readers need more information than really they do. I will buy the next-in - line book. But then, I am a sucker for lawyer stories. Good luck, J. J.

Meh. I don't particularly care for short stories as they generally feel rushed to me... and this one is no exception. I read it because it serves as a prequel to the Brad Madison legal thriller series. I really enjoyed book 1 of the series & I had hoped to get some additional background info on the characters prior to diving into book 2 (which has just been released). Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of new insight to be had here.

Exciting, ends when justice prevails and does not waste time with repeated info or unneeded text. Thanks!
Great read. I'll now look for more of his offerings. Was not too wording, wasting my time. Thanks for a good story.

Interesting plot-
I really like the character of Brad Madison. I like your storyline, and hope he gets his family back. I noticed quite a bit of typing errors, and errors in sentence structure with both books I've read. It was fairly distracting.

Too Obvious
Story is just too obvious all around, especially who turns out to be the murderer. Also I don't think very many men would put up with a wife who uses the family situation as a "hammer".

Too short
I thoroughly enjoyed the clear cut writing of JJ Miller. This was a good read that moved along very fast.

Good for a novella
But much too short and not well developed. I knew from the beginning who the killer was. It was really too easy to figure out.

I enjoyed the story. The story moved along at a good pace. The story line was reasonable and could have happened.

Good stuff
Keeps you going page to page. The full length book from this series is even better and I'm looking forward to the next one.

And I made the mistake of not reading it first... still enjoyed it a lot. The next one... full length... is great. Can't wait for more.

This writer is truly gifted
Get all books written by this author. Sometimes a complicated story/plot is enough and you want more. Amazing. Easy going.

Thriller
Author does a good job setting the tone of the book. The cross examination of the witnesses was well done.

Awesome Book!!!#
I see this is book one of Brad Madison's Legal Thriller books. I sincerely hope it will not be the last and I look forward to more books in the future. This is a fast read and I highly recommend it . I would enjoy a longer book but this is a wonderful book for a first time author. The five stars are well deserved. It would be good to be on a list to know when book 2 is available.
