" Excellent book by an author the NY Times calls "not only the thinking man's John Grisham, but the drinking man's." My friends/realtors down here in Richmond gave me the book as their cousin, a judge in VA, wrote it (we were invited to the book release party but couldn't make it so Ed and Nancy had him sign a copy for us. And if you read the acknowledgments he mentions Ed and Nancy Turner, our realtors!)It's an interesting, fast-paced read written very smartly and with much humor throughout. It is based on a true story he became aware of as a judge but he wrote it as fiction. Definitely give it a try!!!! "

" A review on the book's cover said - "Clark(is) not only the thinking man's John Grisham but, maybee better the drinking man's." After reading the book I don't really know what to make of that reviewer's comments. The story line centers on two brothers and a covered up murder. It is a very complex story with the main character going through a wide variety of struggles in life. Actually, I don't know how many other problems could have been visited on Mason without changing his name to Job. The book doesn't end in despire so keep reading there is light at the end of the tunnel. Not a happy read, but good to see how the story resolves and Mason matures as a person. "

" Interesting novel for a 2nd timer. He is in the forensic-legal genre and I've read better, but I couldn't stop reading this one. "

" I could not put this crime/legal thriller down! It has a well crafted plot that explores the boundaries between law and justice, sin and forgiveness, fraternal bonds and betrayal. "

Lisa Ard | 1/15/2014
" I started this Thanksgiving day and finished 1 1/2 days later as I could not put it down! It's fiction, but opens as if it's based on a true account -- I'm not sure...but it is witty, complex and will pull you in. Great moral issues are explored within the context of an old murder case. "

Holly | 1/2/2014
" Great book overall. Somewhat reminiscent of the story of Cain & Abel - brother against brother. Enjoyable read. "

" Really good legal thriller - excellent, believable characters, interesting plot. A win from the New Books shelf at MultCoLib. "

Cheryl | 11/15/2013
" New legal author. Very detailed writing. Lawyer witness brother murder someone. They both cover it up. Brother is into drugs and ends up in jail. Brother sets up lawyer years later. Lawyer lives in small town and is loved by all in the community. He is a family man. Very good. "

" Nothing like a good legal thriller! The writing is not distinguished, and the female characters are all ciphers, but what a great story! "

Pam | 1/24/2013
" I love mysteries and thrillers that keep me reading. This is like a really good, early John Grisham. Very exciting - can't wait to see what happens next. Well written. "

R. B. | 12/6/2012
" A different kind of legal thriller. Very literate, very suspenseful, VERY surprising. Excellent book. "
-




Christine Kloosterman | 11/10/2012
" This book was great until about the last 100 pages and then it seemed to drag on a bit. By the last 25 pages or so I was confused as to what went on. Started out loving it but did not like the ending. "
-




Deana | 5/15/2012
" Excellent. Very exciting, but very real and believable and very fresh, not the same-old, same-old. Every character seems genuine. Best of the year for me. "
-




Mauri | 5/13/2012
" Listened to this and read the rest. REally well done, a little too much to the plot but a great read. The audio CD voice-over guy is sensational too. "
-




Sarah | 10/24/2011
" Whenever Martin publishes a new book, he sends out handwritten postcards to let his fans know. This touch alone will keep me reading his books-- the fact that they are actually good helps even more. "

" An intriguing, well written story that moves pretty fast. Not strictly a crime novel, this entertaining book gets into human nature and behavior quite well. Very, very enjoyable "
