" Pretty enjoyable to a point and a very easy read. Would be a respectable legal thriller but there comes a point where there are too many twists in a story, and this book may just cross that line. I stayed pretty engaged and was curious about how certain things would turn out, but the continual "surprises" at the end became tiresome and detracted from the evolution of the story. "

" Fantastic and interesting to read of Portland, this author is coming up with information that I didn't know about Pdx! It also is a book that keeps me on my toes, some suspense and I usually read in bed before I go to sleep - not very conducive for that! Ha, ha, ha! The story line took awhile for me to figure out! What a GREAT ending! "

" This book was great, however... After my husband and kids were in bed. And I was a bit stressed and unable to sleep. I read it straight in one night. Managed to get less than 2 hrs of sleep that night, the book was that good! Be sure to read the descriptions of the characters in this book, and imagine them in your head. For me, this book played out in my mind like a Crime Show on TV. And the ending made me gasp! It was so wrong, it was so good. I highly recommend this book. "

" Bought this book for $1 and got more than my money's worth. Good legal thriller, although I consider the storyline not plausible which is why only 3 stars. It's a good beach read. "
