Excellent writing for a first book! I enjoyed the development of the characters and the plot with a summer-in-the-south mood and atmosphere. Reminiscent of Turow. Great ending! I never saw it coming, but as a rule I don't figure out the end of books anyway. Dwells a little bit too much on the main character's introspection, but overall, a book I would recommend.

This book was great - my second book from John Hart. Good story, kept you guessing, lots of twists and turns -excellent!
A slow start, but once it got going, WOW! It really gets cracking!
I loved it. Well written, entertaining, very early Grishamlike southern lawyer mystery. If you are looking for a new author, give John Hart a try--you won't be disappointed.
