Maybe because I waited until 1999 to read this book and maybe because I have read the entire "Justice" series in order (recently, I might add), I don't share some of the other reviewers' problems with this book. Sure, there are parallels with O.J., but truth be told I found this book to be not only interesting but exciting. (I also hazard a guess that anyone reading this book would love to hear an explaination from OJ, such as was provided in this book by it's defendant.)

I not only enjoyed the main plot, but the sub-plots of this book as well. The "Justice" books keep me reading and wanting more. Mr. Bernhardt's main characters are people that if they were real, I would love to know in real life. I also love to hate the prosecutor, Jack Bullock (making his second appearance). Kincaid and Bullock have a history and we learn even more about Kincaid's background in this book than ever before.

I would recommend this book highly, although based on the other reviews, maybe you should read the others in this series first - beginning with "Primary Justice" and following them in sequential order.

Excellent Book! By far the best he's written. Keeps you guessing until the very end and not many books can do that. This book comes highly recommended!

This isn't so much a review of Naked Justice by itself as a review of the whole Ben Kincaid (Justice) series. I won't pretend that Bernhardt's books are Pulitzer candidates, but their zany cast of characters will enchant you! They will grab you, especially if you read the series in order. The self-effacing Ben Kincaid is Everyman turned defense attorney, and the other members of his entourage, especially the beguiling Christina, will similarly strike a chord with readers in a way that the super-lawyers of other current legal fiction cannot. These books are just plain fun. While you will become interested in the plots and legal maneuverings, their main attraction is the characters themselves. You will discover that you really care about these people, because they will reflect so much of yourself and of "normal" people, complete with foibles...Stan Davi

This is the 6th Bernhardt book I have read in the Ben Kincaid series. I think I have rated all the others with five stars. This is the first one I was disappointd in. To me, the trial pages were way to long. He went into to much detail on blood and DNA testing. If I had wanted a medical book I would have read one. All the people I liked were there, Ben, Christina, Jones, Loving and Mike. The first of the book was good and the ending was a surprise, to me at least. The middle was boring and to wordy at times. The ending left me sad and this had not happened in the previous books. I will read number seven as the first five were so good. I surely hope I enjoy it more.

The book did have many chaacteristics to OJ trial but you never knew the answers. The ending gets you quick and I doubt few people could figure it out. I think the only complaint I had was that there was way too many personal parts coming into play, I feel that it should have been more centered on the case. Overall, a qucik enjoyable read.

The only way I could recieve Justice from author Bernhardt would be to have him read something my children wrote. A truly poor , unbielievable story line. I can only assume that his other justice series books were much better ( I dont intend to find out)

This sixth book in the series does not disappoint. It is a fast paced novel that keeps you guessing until the end. There are some parallelisms in the story with the OJ trial (football start accused of murder, mishandling of the crime scene, car chase through a highway, etc.) but Bernhardt keeps it interesting regardless.

For those readers that have been following the series, in this installment we get more information about Ben's relationship with his father and the DA Bullock.

I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

This was my first William Bernhardt novel, and needless to say, I will be finding the rest of them to read, especially his Ben Kincaid series. This book kept me enthralled through all 405 pages, and even when I thought I had it all figured out--Surprise! I thoroughly enjoyed 'Naked Justice' and would recommend it to ANYONE who enjoys a top-notch legal thriller.

I thought this book was another O.J. case. It turn my interest as it went on, and had me believing. I thought it was well written and easy to follow. I never saw the end comeing, and when it did, I realised maybe it was an O.J. case and I didn't care. I realy enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more of his books.

Not 'just another O.J. knockoff'? Coulda fooled me. His characters are interesting, but puhhhleese, folks. This could have been taken from the transcripts of the 'trial of the century'. Hope he doesn't continue in this vein. He's got oodles of material out there to draw from, and apparently the legal expertise to fill in all the blanks. I like his style, just not his choice of plot material.
