" Good drama and intensity. Kept you wondering until the very end! "

" This is a tough book to rate, the characters and dialog are good, but the murder and Barbara's case are so bad as to be laughable. The "case" against her defendant was nonsense, no cop would make the arrest, and no prosecutor would file the charges on such non-evidence. And, in the end, Barbara's moral dilemma was meaningless - any good lawyer would have presented the evidence, and offered to help the real killer. The shame of it is that I normally like Wilhelm's work, and this one could make me quit scouring the used book stores for her stuff. "

" Good mystery, that had a good, unpredictable ending. Upbeat and interesting. An easy read that doesn't require a lot of thought or concentration. Right now, that's all I can handle. "

" Very human conundrum, but too much courtroom "

" My mom is a big fan of this author, so I read these Barbara Holloway novels sometimes. A little slow sometimes, but not bad stories. "
- Jeanette, 10/3/2013

" I am amazed with each of her books. the story lines are easy to identify with which makes the reader feel involved. "

" 4-. I ended up liking this book for the courtroom drama, the lawyer's ethical dilemma as she defends an excon pickpocket from murder charges, as well as the mystery itself. It took about a third into the book before I got really engrossed. "

" Well written. Good story. Last third of the story told by relating the complete day-by-day trial, a method I found unappealing. "

" Always enjoy the twists and turns of Kate Wilhelm's books. The characters and story lines are believable. Love the dad and Thing One and Thing Two in the stories as well as the other characters. Well fleshed out. "

" A nice concise legal drama, similar to John Grisham. Less of a mystery than a compelling legal case, this book has really good characters. It's an episode of Matlock in book form. :) "

" Totally unconscionable. "

" Set in Eugene Oregon! Another new author for me, another set of new characters to get involved with. A little too much of the trial details for my taste, let's get to the vedict already. "

" The plot is more provocative than usual, and the reliable elements are there. A good one! "

" I read this one on vactaion, another great book in this series. "
- Janice, 3/6/2013
-
" This ended up being another gem, but it took until the courtroom scenes to totally captivate me. I think my favorite so far was The Unbidden Truth. "

" Gripping legal thriller, with the lead attorney put in a position that would stymie Solomon. "

" one of a series that features a female lawyer and her father who is a retired lawyer. this one is the best of the series but the others are good. "

" Another excellent book by Wilhelm. How she manages to keep writing these books without repeating herself is beyond me, but she does it, and does it also without resorting to greater and greater levels of psychopathology as some writers have done (e.g. Jonathan Kellerman and Nevada Barr). "

" A good book...suspenseful and predictable. "

" A light listen on my MP3 when I am walking. I have read/listened to many of this Barbara Holloway series, and enjoy them. "
- Linda, 12/22/2011

" While I was enjoying the story and the supporting characters, the main character, Barbara Holloway, was completely unlikable in my opinion. Once the murderer was revealed, halfway through the book, I decided that I couldn't take Barbara for one more page and gave up. "

" FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC!!!!! This whole Barbara Holloway series was Great! "
- Becky, 8/26/2011

" Another great author like my favorite Mary Higgins Clark. A real page turner. Her style of writing reminds me of Law and Order. The first half of the book is finding who to take to court and the last is the court case. "
