Robert K. Tanenbaum really knows how to write memorable characters! He captures the crime, perpetrators, investigation perfectly. Very entertaining. Strong language and a bit raunchy in some places, were my only concerns. (

I jumped right into this series. I have read the last several books in this series. I enjoy Karp. He is a good attorney. This might have to do with the fact that Karp is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Yet, don't let this confuse you into thinking that Karp is a sleazy attorney type. No, he is one of the good guys. Someone that you want fighting for you if you find yourself in trouble.

However, you might not really experience all of what Karp has to offer in this book. It was nice to go back to the beginning. Yet, I felt that this story was not one of the strongest showings. It seemed like half of the story had nothing to do with the main story. In addition, I was not really that interested in the characters. The court scenes are realistic. If, I was a new reader I might consider checking out the next book in this series. Luckily, I have seen the progression in this series and it does get better. (

I was really worried when I started this book because being set in the 1980's when it was written, I thought that it might show age in missing technology (computers and cell phones, etc.) but was very pleasantly surprised that it really wasn't an issue.

The story is of a young Asst DA trying to get justice for 2 murder victims and having to deal with a murderer who plays against the system by faking mental disorders.

The writing was crisp and the story well-told keeping this reader on the edge of her seat while characters worked to find enough evidence for conviction along with proof of the mental illness deception. (
