review 1: This author was recommended by Nancy McCormick. It was actually a different book she talked about but this is the one I found. I quite enjoyed this. I learned a lot about the military trial system. Well, a lot of surface facts. He did a great job of explaining why the number of people on the jury definitely favors either the prosecution or the defense depending n the #. It took me awhile, but I figured out the twist before it was revealed. And although shocking, it wasn't as incredible as it could have been. It was published in 2010. I like the way Richard discussed the idea of how the war effects soldiers and how sometimes they have to wait months to get help. And that was 4 years before the current VA scandal. I will read another of his b... moreooks.
review 2: Geez I enjoyed this book. Maybe it was just timing - coming after the heels of a dog (that's being unfair to the previous book, but it was just a dragger for me). This book was quick tempo-ed and methodical but had a mystery behind the that really keeps you guessing right to the end. And thankfully, the ending was nothing I expected either. I do love a book that gives me a wee surprise!A murder of an officer on an army post in Virginia by one of their own, brutal in it's intensity and with a haze of questions that muddy the waters as to the reasons why and even how it could of happened, we join the man who has been called to defend the murderer and see that justice is served. Two military families pitted against each other and an endless bounty of lies, it's a story that shows the military both at it's best and at it's worst. It gives a very brief glimpse at the horrors some of these young men come back burdened with and what they have to contend with once they are back home.The trial is superb - excellent back and forth of the story between two points of view of the argument, with sufficient twists and turns to keep you pinned to the edge of the book pages. I highly recommend this book! less
