Mike Daley Mystery

review 1: Mike Daley, San Francisco's favorite lawyer, is back with his ex-wife/law partner Rosie Fernandez. This time the case hits a bit too close to home for their tastes- a federal judge with a less-than-stellar reputation ends up dead and Bobby, their daughter Grave's boyfriend, is accused of killing him(the judge is bobby's dad). Things go along swimmingly well until right near the end, when all sorts of facts are revealed and lies are discovered. I usually love Sheldon Siegel's books, but once the big reveal came before the end, the trial got completely swept under the carpet, and none of the courtroom players were mentioned again- it seemed like this novel wrapped up a little too quickly after the emotional investment was so great. It seemed- forced somewhat. All in all, sti... morell an enjoyable read, but not one of the best in the Mike Daley series.
review 2: Mike Daley and his law partner/ex-wife Rosie Fernandez have a particularly daunting task. Their client is accused of murdering his father, a prominent judge and his perfect alibi is that he was with their daughter at the time. Although I find the premise that they would take on this conflict of interest case somewhat dubious, I do enjoy this series for the wonderful San Francisco setting, and the great, witty dialog. The main characters, with all their faults and strengths are old friends by now. less
