Excellent legal thriller......not over until its over.

Might be his best effort to date of those ive read. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Best Mystery/Thriller I've Ever Read

Afer Dark, by Phillip Margolin, is the best mystery/thriller I've ever read (and believe me I've read many). To me the evaluation of how good a book is can be determined in how long it takes one to read it. I read After Dark in less than two days. It is a masterful work of penmanship with a twisted plot that keeps you reading to see whodunit, but the plot is so intricately woven, you never can decide what the resolution will turn out to be. Publishers Weekly called Margolin's style "whiplash plotting", which is an excellent description inasmuch as several characters were under suspicion. This was a complicated story with a great deal of legalese that could only be done through Margolin's background as an attorney. It is so well written, one must wonder if it comes from one of his court cases. If you are a mystery/thriller buff like me, then read this book. I think you will be as pleased as I was with it.

Great author!

I love this author. His stories are full of twists and will keep you guessing! One of my top 3 authors! Wish he would write a book every month!

Awesome!

This is my 3rd book by Mr. Margolin and all three are awesome! Very superb writing and can't put down books. Now, I'm reading my 4th one, Burning Man, and even my father-in-law, said it's a good book, so here I am giving my reviews because I want to let other readers to know, that you will not be disappointed. Reading his novels, is like watching a movie, and my imaginations just go wild. After Dark, just one of those who-dunnit books. So there, hopefully other readers can find this review helpful... Thanks

A book to betray your emotions

As a reader of many books, I enjoyed Margolin's book with it evoking so many emotions. The reader can feel like a fly on the wall, watching the amazing events unfold, one by one, shocking as the reader turns the page. With his mastery in this subject, he can write with such enthusiasm and wisdom on the subjects. Margolin is able to expose the many injustices that can be seen throughout his story, allowing the reader to become emotionally attached to the characters. Tracy, in her infinite wisdom captures the audience as the hero, that finds the right path for every one involved. Reader beware, Matthew's a 'genius' to put it mildly, don't be drawn to close to his immaculate facade.

This is the best book

This is one of the best book that I have read in a long time. I could not put this book down. It took me 2 days to read this book. Because once you start it you have to keep going to find out what will happen next. It is a must read.
