Great legal thriller!
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2015
You can always depend on an interesting book written by Kate wilhelm. The Barbara Halloway series is my favorite! If Kate doesn't have a law background, she certainly does a lot surperb court house writing.

I love every one of these books. The characters are more than interesting, the story is always suspenseful and believable, and Kate Wilhelm is a consummate writer and story-teller. I have read her almost my entire life, starting with her science fiction, and admit I was surprised at the direction her books took with the first of these legal thrillers. They are just wonderful.

Outrageous.
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2010
Wilhelm's books are interesting but to ask for 12.00 for an out-of-print ten year old book is ridiculous. Good luck! The author should insist that older books go for a couple of dollars in order to hook new readers.

Disappointing book

I wasn't able to read more than ninety pages of this book. Usually I devour Kate Wilhem's Barbara Gordon mysteries in a day or two and can't leave my seat until I'm finished. This time I got bored, the story didn't interest me, it dragged on, wasn't tightly written, didn't get to the heart of the issues. Don't know what happened this time but it was a mediocre plot, boring characters whom one doesn't really care about except the main character and those closest to her. Will reserve judgment until I read the next book.
