4.0 out of 5 stars Good legal thriller that kept me guessing!, January 6, 2000

Marion "dragonfly80@hotmail.com" (Louisiana) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Absent Witness (Mass Market Paperback)

Nancy Kopp really knows her stuff. This thriller kept me guessing till the end. A comatose patient in a hospital is mysteriously raped and impregnated and a bulldog female attorney will stop at nothing to find the rapist. Fast-paced page turner. Great dialogue and memorable characters. I hated for the story to end. How about a sequel, Nancy?

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, November 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Absent Witness (Mass Market Paperback)

I purchased this book as a high school independant reading project. I was very impressed and loved the way Kopp led on her readers to let them believe that someone completely wrong committed the crime. I admit, the idea of the situation was disgusting, but it was a great book to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done and a Can Not Put Down Book, October 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Absent Witness (Mass Market Paperback)

This was my second book of Nancy Kopp. This one was very good. I did not even want to turn on the T.V. the night I started this. You think you have the guilty person all figuered out, and then you learn how wrong you were. I will now be looking forward to any book that has Nancy Kopp on the cover.

When on our recent cruise, I found myself in the rare position of

Ms. Kopp has a great writing style, which makes it easy to forget the time and keep flipping the pages. There is suspense until the very end. Read more
