“I had not read this author before and thought this a very good crime/suspense. There is substantial legalize included and clearly much social commentary about our system today and the ability, if one has money, to circumvent that system using creative lawyers. The possible escape of the law for one individual hung in the balance throughout the story. The author has done a very credible job of developing the likable and complex character of Alan, and well with Lauren and a couple of others and combined that with a satisfying plot. I hate reading a series' installment out of sequence, and there is plenty of reference to earlier events that affect this story in minor ways. So I would highly recommend that one start at the beginning, though this book certainly can stand alone. As an excellent escape read, the eighteenth in the series, I am looking forward to starting at the beginning with many installments to go.”
