"[The Advocate's Daughter] deals with legal issues ripped from the front pages...a strong family and legal drama...entertaining." - Above the Law

"“This is an impossible business to predict, but as a person and a writer Franze seems to have that little bit extra – whatever it is that makes the difference. Certainly ‘The Advocate’s Daughter’ came out a cut above. With a bit of luck, Franze should be around for a long time – which will be good for readers and his fellow writers, too." - Lee Childs, from an interview with the Detroit Legal News

“I haven’t read a legal thriller this good in a long time . . .There are a lot of variables in this story and the pacing is relentless, making this an all nighter for me. The characters are well developed and the family scenes especially rang true. And I loved all the details about the Supreme Court, a place most of us don’t know much about (and be sure to read the notes at the end, but only after you read the book!) This book put me in mind of The Tenth Justice by Brad Meltzer, his first book and still one of my favorite legal thrillers ever. Franze is in excellent company here and I look forward to more from this author.” - Bookbitch

“Enlightening…The mystery grows thick and dark, but the book’s major appeal lies in sorting out the real stuff about the court from the hectic fiction.” - The Toronto Star

"A gripping tale of politics, law and secrets, “The Advocate’s Daughter” displays Franze’s expertise as a Washington lawyer and commentator on the high court. As he weaves a stunning story that makes “House of Cards” look like “Little House on the Prairie,” readers of all ideological stripes will find it a splendid tale of grief and grievance, crime and corruption, power and perfidy." - The Richmond Times-Dispatch

"Lawyers by trade are storytellers, and good lawyers tell good stories ― Franze’s book is a case in point." - LA Review of Books
