Robert Tarza walks into work one Monday morning to find Simon, a partner at his law firm dead on the floor, with a knife in his back. While there's no shortage of people who'd like to see Simon dead, Robert finds himself the primary suspect. While there were some rather unbelievable parts (Robert trying to investigate his own case being the biggest example), on the whole it was entertaining. My other complaint was that it almost ended too quickly. There was soooooo much setup, then everything was revealed in a matter of minutes. While many murder mysteries fall into this trap, it seemed even more so here.3.5 stars Murder mysteries are not my usual, mysteries in general are not...courtroom drama investigative...still not but this is a book that made me think hmmmm what have I been missing. I really enjoyed this however...there were many things in this story that I knew could not be going on in the real world that are not legal in real life...but they make it work for the story so I swallowed my protests and put my pointer finger down with the but but but you can't..... And went with it. What was the point of complaining it wouldn't change anything and I've never been one to "know better" (even tho I do in some cases) but I don't like picking books apart ....usually. Will definitely look for another book by this author. So this kept me guessing a little, I had thought one thing and was happy to be proven wrong... so all in all if anything this book is making me dog up other mysteries and other courtroom drama books! Looking forward to getting hooked into a whole new world!
