More About the Author

Michael Kahn is a trial lawyer by day and an author at night. He wrote his first novel, GRAVE DESIGNS, on a challenge from his wife Margi, who got tired of listening to the same answer whenever she asked him about a book he was reading. "Not bad," he would say, "but I could write a better book than that." "Then write one," she finally said, "or please shut up." So he shut up, and then he wrote one.

Kahn is the award-winning author of: seven Rachel Gold novels; an eighth novel, THE MOURNING SEXTON, under the pen name Michael Baron; and several short stories.

In addition to his day job as a lawyer, he is an adjunct professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis, where he teaches a class on censorship and free expression. Married to his high school sweetheart, he is the father of five and the grandfather of, so far, three.

This review is from: Firm Ambitions (Rachel Gold Mystery Series) (Paperback)

Rachel Gold is cool. Tho a lawyer, she spends most of her time 'detecting' along with her mother and a lifelong friend, Benny, a rotund fancier of foods and females. They are all working on freeing her sister Ann from a murder rap. Good book, a little heavy on the sexual inuendo and 'out' uendo too. Lots of plots, counter plots, dead ends and runarounds. It doesn't fully resolve until almost the final page.

This review is from: Firm Ambitions (Rachel Gold Mystery Series) (Paperback)

Rachel Gold is Everywoman of today! She is smart, witty, shrewd, career-minded, independent and clever. Michael A. Kahn does an excellent job of embodying a successful female lawyer, and can keep a reader captivated. I was never much into mysteries, but I picked up this book on a whim and when I got home, I couldn't put it down! So many twists and turns, plenty of drama and quite a few laughs. Highly recommended!

This review is from: Firm Ambitions: 2A Rachel Gold Mystery (Rachel Gold Novels) (Hardcover)

a swarthy fitness guru who sexercises with rich suburbanites is poisoned. a weak link in an otherwise praiseworthy rachel gold series. a straightforward who-done-it lacking the usual consideration of weightier legal issues.
