[from Deadline online obituary]
Peacock graduated from the University of Michigan with BA, from Columbia University with MFA and from Yale Law School. He worked as an intellectual property and First Amendment attorney in New York — with his experience ranging from death penalty defense to First Amendment cases and big-firm litigation — before publishing his first novel, A Cure for Night, in 2008. Published by Doubleday, it was nominated for an Edgar Award and honored by the Washington Post as a Book of the Year.

He went on to become a full-time writer and relocated to Los Angeles in 2011 to work on Suits. Peacock wrote for the hit USA Network legal drama for three seasons in 2012-15. He went on to work as writer-producer on another legal drama, Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, created by another lawyer-turned-TV writer, David E. Kelley. Most recently, Peacock was writer-supervising producer on Fox's freshman series Alert: Missing Persons Unit, which was renewed for a second season.

Blind Man's Alley: A Novel por Justin Peacock

I had a hard time with this one. It was long and not really my thing, I suppose. I found the subject matter and the legal language a bit too dense and so it was hard to get into the murder mystery part. I only read it because I got the book in first reads and so I wanted to give it a try and be able to say something about it. I think people who like murder mysteries and do not mind some heavy duty legal jargon, especially at the beginning, will enjoy this book.
Note to self: Don't enter giveaways involving real estate and legal jargon. Just not my thing.… (más)

Blind Man's Alley por Justin Peacock

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.

It's probably not a good sign that I don't remember much about this book, which I read less than 3 years ago. OK, I've read a lot of books since then, but this is a thick book (465 pages) so I must have spent some time on it. I gather it's about rich people, lawyers, real estate, community activists, and politicians in New York City so it's the sort of thing I like (I like to stay close to home, even in my fiction) ... but I just can't remember much.

This book was a little hard to read. It was very wordy, and it just sounds like a lawyer telling the story. It was a good story, but it could have been much better.

Verdict por Justin Peacock

Une histoire d'avocat américain, sans trop d'effets - mais sans doute moins par par projet esthétique que par respect de la source autobiographique et par manque de moyens - ou d'envie - narratifs. Pour les amateurs de séries américaines à motif judiciaire, le cynisme local ne surprendra pas. Apprendra peut-être quelque chose aux suiveurs de Maigret ou de Boulevard du Palais. Autrement...
