Another tale from the fictional Kindle County. Here is a tale of a lawyer on his way down the ladder of success. He's searching for a partner who absconded with millions of dollars. In this case he must search the city, and investigate its characters. This is par for the course for Turrow. Not as

much tension as in others, but still a pleasant, light read.

Not quite as good as Presumed Innocent or The Burden of Proof, but great none-the-less.

Not as good as Presumed Innocent. I was able to follow the first part only half listening. I was a little disappointed. I was sick of the main character referring to cops as "coppers."

The story of a law firm struggling with a case corporate embezzlement and a missing lawyer.

The interesting sound scenario of the blurb quickly devolves into a plodding, slow and methodical story line written in the form of dictated notes by the protagonist.

Whilst being duller than a room with no

lights on it does manage to at least achieve a willingness for the reader to see how the story ends, but provides very little else.

It's not 1 star crap, but 2 stars would be rather optimistic.

The story had twists and turns galore. Too many. It was just to confuse the reader but doesn't advance the story. Disappointing.

LibraryThing member AliceAnna

A fast read. Kind of reminded me of The Firm except this guy was a definite anti-hero, and the ending was much more satisfactory.
