Two young lovers stand accused of the murder of the girl's parents, and all of Philadelphia teems with speculation: Are they both innocent, or both guilty, or is one lying to protect the other? A story of the boundless power of obsessive love, Common Pleas is intricately constructed and lyrically written, with dazzling characters and breathtaking plot twists. Philadelphia lawyer and author Bonnie MacDougal again displays an impressive knowledge of forensic evidence and a true insider's savvy about the workings of the law. In Common Pleas, she delivers another provocative thriller that seamlessly blends the mystery of the crime with the darker secrets of the human heart. PRAISE FOR BONNIE MacDOUGAL'S PREVIOUS NOVEL, OUT OF ORDER "A top-notch thriller . . . high on suspense." Chicago Tribune "Much more than an ordinary legal thriller . . . . An ambitious, superbly crafted tale . . . . Top-notch in every respect." Providence Journal "MacDougal's third finds the author in ripping form, her writing keener and more glamorous than ever . . . . MacDougal writes with heart . . . . Bravo."

A Compelling Thriller,
By Joanne Edwards (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Common Pleas (Paperback)
MacDougal's latest is a tribute to her earlier works and it is clear that she has grown as an author. The novel is captivating from the first and her characters are utterly believable. This is MacDougal's best yet!
