review 1: AN INNOCENT CILENT was an enjoyable book.Considering that it concerns the trial of a young woman accused off the murder and mutilating of a man, albeit a sleazy hypocrite, the ending left me with a smile.I had read another book of Mr. Pratt's Joe Dillard books and thought it was quite good, so I wanted to read the first of the series. This one, too, is well written . It reveals the character of the lawyer - hero Dillard , who is sickened and depressed by his life as a criminal lawyer. DillArd is basically a good, moral man sickened by the liars he encounters and the lies he has to face daily fron his clients, the police and the judicial system itself. He is determined to leave criminal defense behind, but he takes this case because it appears that the young woman is, tru... morely, AN INNOCENT CLIENT. Is she? Well, that is the story Mr. Pratt writes so well. I won't drop any spoilers , except to say that there are many turns in the road to "justice" coming at the reader, and while the endgame is not entirely unexpected, it was wholly gratifyingly acceptable.Liked the book, you will, too.
review 2: is this the john MacDonald recast as a lawyer and not a P.I. type in Florida? maybe, maybe not. that was my initial impression about mid-way thru the book. I liked the all the characters, including the drug addict sister, the strip club owner, the judge, everyone. Scott Pratt has a whole series about?out this lawyer, and apparently, he makes the switch from defense lawyer to a prosecuting attorney, or at least the teaser at the end of the book leads us to believe that. Looking forward to reading many more from Pratt. less
