review 1: This is the second in a series. I rather enjoyed the first one. The main characters are a lawyer and his law partner/ex-wife. The two of them are very fond of one another. That was the good part. The action takes place in San Francisco so it is fun if you know the city and can picture where they are.The story is so much like the first book that I almost quit reading about l/4 of the way through. In both books Mike and Rosie take on a difficult case with a difficult defendant. In both cases, the defendant lied and lied and lied. Therefore, there were numerous revelations during the trial as the lies were uncovered by the prosecution. Both defendants were supposedly upstanding citizens with reputations to preserve.I would not recommend this in particular. It is too ... morelong, but it might be OK if you have not read the first one. If you have read the first one don't bother with this one.
review 2: Good premise, but executed poorly. I couldn't care about any of the characters, regardless of how much backstory the author provided, and it seemed endless, and thrown in for "depth." The story itself seemed like it was stretched out to novel size. If told in novella size, straight to the point, it could have been more compelling. It took 300 and some pages to get to the grit of the evidence--that's just ridiculous! I only read the first 100 pages consecutively and from then on I skimmed, and found even that was a waste of time. The author writes in the present tense--who writes like that!? I found it annoying, and probably one of the reasons why I couldn't get through the book. less
