Robert Traver writes this story of murder, deception, and courtroom events from the point of view of the defense lawyer. The scenes, characters, and story are authentic. The dialogue is realistic between all of the characters. It is an exciting drama about a military man accused of murder, his lawyer who is desperately looking for a decent income, and the prosecution who wants to win this case. The courtroom scenes are as close to being actually in a courtroom as the author can show the reader. Immersed in sleuthing for the truth the lawyer finds and interviews people who may or may not be telling the truth.

This book is a great murder and courtroom drama with a plot that will take the reader into the story and keep them looking for the answers to the murder.

I liked the lawyer for being thorough in his investigation. The courtroom drama brought me into the courtroom and I didn't want to miss a second of the proceedings.

Some of the language wasn't what I wanted to read but I glossed over it or mentally changed the words to something platable and continued reading this fascinating story.

I wanted to read something different for a change but hope to find a similar story to read in the future.

I felt completely inside this story. At first, it seemed to get off to a slow start until I became accustomed to the writing style and began to get to know the characters. As I became familiar with everything the story gained momentum.

The pace of this book is good and matches the story well. Told from the defense lawyer's point of view helped me get to know the accused well and see the details of the events leading up to the murder.

The drama and excitement of this story kept me glued to the story and for readers who like this genre they n will certainly enjoy this book.

This is a book containing real-life based events. For readers who prefer a cozy mystery, I suggest looking for another book.

I like the story and everything within it enough to consider reading this book again sometime in the future.
