review 1: Now this was one surprise thriller for me. The first two chapters read a little dull but beyond that, it picks up.Jamie Brock is the sure fire prosecutor who believe in the sanctity of the law and who's grappling w/ the loss of her father shortly after the murder of her mother. She's determined to bring the person she deems as the killer, to book.Caleb Tate is a savvy and sleazy defense lawyer, who's being fingered for the murder of his wife, Rikki Tate. He works to defend himself of the charges, but things get a little out of hand and he decides to break the law.Ben Masterson is the chief prosecutor, the Wyatt Earp, if you will. He's the leader of the good guys, until a twist you cannot anticipate pulls it all under his feet.Quite the entertaining piece. If you love legal... more thrillers, police procedural reads and the most unexpected of twists to the ending of a book, then read on.
review 2: Singer did a very good job of keeping me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't put the book down because I wanted to see how it ended. But I deeply disliked the hero. She is a prosecutor who never plea bargains or shows any type of real empathy or sympathy. Not only is this horribly unrealistic, it is also somewhat psychopathic. What type of a person does not have the ability to show sympathy or empathy? The type of person who tortures puppies, that's who. Of course, she undergoes a little bit of a transformation at the end, but it is not enough to save her character.Additionally, Singer really does not allow too much moral ambiguity in this one. With a couple of exceptions, the good guys end up being good, and the bad guys end up being bad - like in a children's story. The only exceptions are one sympathetic character who does not really turn completely bad; he saves some major face. And the other was technically a good guy, but he was not very likable through the story.I have been looking forward to reading Singer, and The Last Plea Bargain was my first one. I will read at least one more and hope it is better. less
