5.0 out of 5 stars
Deeply satisfying
A wonder of a book that takes us inside the world of big law firms as well as the private lives of two lawyers who are fascinating both alone and together. A rare combination of smart, fast-paced suspense and a deeply moving story of real people. I read a lot of thrillers, legal and otherwise, but this one goes to the top of the list

1.0 out of 5 stars
Trite, juvenile and 2-dimensional
Ms. Macdougal ought to focus her efforts on writing teen-age romances. This book has all the sophistication and worldliness of a 14-year-old on a bad day. The main characters are flat as cardboard and the secondary characters are no more than names. The setting (Phladelphia, where I LIVE!) is limply described, the plot is obvious, and the motivations ludicrous...

A gripping plot and wonderful characters!,

I generally avoid reading lawyer books (thanks to Grisham overload), but I found myself unable to put this book down. I have lived most of my life in the Philadelphia area, and I worked in one of Philadelphia's large law firms, and MacDougal captured the essence of both quite well. It's difficult to believe that this is her first novel. She has clearly mastered the art of writing! I really felt that I knew, and had worked with, most of her main characters. Breach of Trust is a real treat, and I highly recommend this one!!

Action and pace keeps your interest peaked,

This review is from: Breach Of Trust (Paperback)
This is the 2nd of Ms MacDougal books that I've recently read - both about a young female lawyer - I can't wait for her next one - she has a easy writing style that keeps you wanting to read "just one more chapter" before setting it down - I never sat it down - BTW I'm not young, or a lawyer, or a female, I just liked it.

The main characters are flat as cardboard and the secondary characters are no more than names. The setting (Phladelphia, where I LIVE!) is limply described, the plot is obvious, and the motivations ludicrous. (For example, a gun-dealing teen delinquent becomes a model preppie after a few minutes' attention from his elder brother. Yeah, SURE.) The main character's love affair will sound very believable if you also believe that Bill Clinton actually was in love with Monica Lewinsky and was going to marry her. Ms. Macdougal is old enough to know better than to offer such teen-age fantasies and daydreams as adult drama.
