To be honest I was going to put away the book after a few chapters, just when I thought everything had died down. Little did I know I was heading for an anti climax.

While this is an absolutely entertaining novel as Margolin's inevitably are, it's also one to stimulate one's thoughts about the legal system and the morality or lack of same embedded in it. There's little doubt that the guilty are often released, and there are also times when the innocent may well be punished.

As always Margolin is an attention holding author, but the ending to this and most of his others are almost pre-written a thousand times over... Boy gets girl, flys off to wonderland.
