This was a great book. I love the characters. The plot twists that Bill Blum put in here were great. This was exciting and fast paced.
Really bad metaphors ("the jury swallowed ... the testimony like Sunday morning Gospel"), hackneyed plot (former DA is a drunk and is redeemed; good guys are bad guys; bad guys are good guys) and crappy writing. But, if you can ignore all that, still a fun read for a lonely Saturday night or a short rail commute.
