The author committed what I consider an unpardonable sin. He withholds what the viewpoint characters know in order to ratchet up the tension and mystery. In my view, that's a cheat. I won't be reading anything further by Mr. Meltzer.

I found this book so predictable just about anyone could have written it. I was very disappointed in the quality of this story.

Suspenseful and twisty turney.

This book is very slow at the beginning, and then becomes a story that you can't put down. Endure the first few chapters, for the remainder is full of surprising plot twists.

It took me a 151 pages to realize that I was not interested in this book. It just droned on and on but did nothing to capture you. Maybe the rest picked up but I decided that I had spent enough time on this read and it was over for me.

This was great. I'm not much of a political thriller reader but the writing is so good and the young clerk point-of-view is so interesting that I was hooked. "Zero Game" by Meltzer is fantastic, too.

I had never read anything of this author before. He's good. I'll be looking for more grom him. If you like court-room mystery, you'll like this book.

I really enjoyed this thriller. Just enough twists to make it enjoyable versus being predictable or implausible.
