"For a mystery, there is a lot going on in this book, and most leads are tied together by the end with nonstop action inbetween--with just a couple left for another book. It is a pretty good look at the Supreme Court system of clerks, too. "
— Parkerspammy (4 out of 5 stars)

Supreme Justice Listener Reviews

" I thought the previous book "Executive Privilege" packed a bigger punch, but "Supreme Justice" kept my interest peaked as the author took the reader through a twisting series of turns. I did find that a lot of the story repeated itself, as told by different characters, and some of the events stretched the realm of belief, at times. Overall however, I enjoyed reading this book and enjoyed the surprise twists provided. "
— Carl, 2/20/2014 -
" Always enjoy his books. Loved this one. Johnnie, I think you'd enjoy this one. "
— Diane, 2/15/2014 -
" I'm not Margolin's biggest fan, but this one was decent. There were a lot of different parts that came together at the end. A lot of it is highly improbable and the prose is a bit clunky, but the story more or less held my interest 'til the end. I like some of the Supreme Court stuff even if it wasn't all that believable. Decent, not great. "
— Terry, 2/10/2014 -
" Excellent follow-up to Executive Privilege! Again, kept me on my toes to the very end! I honestly can't hardly put these books down and have finished both within 48 hours! "
— Shellmc, 2/10/2014 -
" Interesting, but not as heavy on the Supreme Court side of the story as I had hoped. "
— Kristin, 2/9/2014 -
" Thought I would give this author a try. Pretty good. The story kept me interested. Found it a little confusing in parts with too many different sub-plots going on. "
— Eric, 2/3/2014 -
" One of the best books I have read in ages! "
— Fatima, 1/29/2014 -
" Lots of action and intrigue. Agood read. "
— Scott, 1/29/2014 -
" Fast read; before you can really be too bothered you're just about finished. Nothing makes sense, practically nothing is plausible. It really is an insult. But. Slightly sympathetic characters, slightly interesting locale. "
— Tom, 1/13/2014 -
" fairly good mystery, but predictable "
— Betty, 12/31/2013 -
" Supreme Justice: A Novel of SuspenseFast moving and thrilling page turner. "
— Christine, 12/19/2013 -
" Nice when an ending isn't predictable. He has been off his previous book or two, so good to see him back on his game. "
— Duane, 12/10/2013 -
" Fast paced thriller that was a nice escape. "
— SweetPea, 12/1/2013 -
" Almost a five-star book. The last 2 or three chapters could have been knocked off and Phillip Margolin would have done it. "
— Pam, 11/25/2013 -
" Fun read, fast paced. Great for conspiracy theories! If you like David Baldacci, you'll probably like this as well. "
— Sandy, 11/20/2013 -
" Quick read. Interesting stuff about the Supreme Court. "
— Marianne, 11/7/2013 -

— Barbara, 10/15/2013 -
" Sometimes a bit confusing as it jumped from one time or place to another, but a good thriller. I never saw the ending coming. "
— Linda, 7/4/2013 -
" i've read all margolin books-----------i kept thinking i had read this one before. i hadn't --it was entertaining but not his best. "
— Rose, 10/14/2012 -
" 2.5 Definitely a summer time read. (You wouldn't want to waste time on it if you had anything pressing to do!). Such corruption in high places! Such stereotypes! "
— Lynn, 8/8/2012 -
" "Supreme Justice" was pretty good for "a novel of suspense. It was better than your everyday mystery novel. "
— Kathy, 4/4/2012 -
" Characters from Executive Privilege return-this time mystery and murder and the Supreme Court. The former head of the CIA and a Supreme Court Judge are trying to cover up a CIA operation of years ago. "
— Pmcdnld2, 2/7/2012 -
" This was a fast read - I consumed the book in a couple of days. Lots of suspense and action and a good follow-up to "Executive Privilege" "
— Laura, 1/29/2012 -
" A run of the mill political suspense novel with a surprise ending. Lots of flashbacks, lots of characters, too many unsolved and unnoticed murders to be believable. But for books like this you're supposed to suspend your disbelief. "
— Vicki, 11/23/2011 -

" Phillip Margolin's books are always exciting, fast paced reads, and "Supreme Justice" was no exception. "
— Georgi, 1/8/2011 -
" Nicely written plot with no holes I could see. I did find it a stretch though that a law clerk could be involved in both bringing down a president (an earlier book) and an assassination attempt on a supreme court justice (this book). But in fiction anything is possible. "
— Drew, 1/1/2011 -
" OK. A tad predictable. I liked the characterization of the Justice. "
— Mhd, 12/12/2010 -
" He's done much better. I was not impressed. Too many characters. Too personal. Not realistic. Other books were better. "
