Customer Reviews

The story is clear, keeps moving at a good pace, detailed.

Flowing storyline with well developed characters and scenes. Action keeps rolling with very few lulls. About as deep as a Grisham novel, with ample twists and turns. Very good narration with emphatic voice characterizations and distinct personalities. Hard to put down.

Impossible to put down!

This book grabbed me and wouldn't let go until the last page. MacDougal is the Cornwell of novels about the law profession. She painted pictures in my mind, and included a fascinating mix of action and courtroom scenes. I can't wait for more!

A Great Read

I read "Breach of Trust" and thought it was very good, but I enjoyed "Angle of Impact" even more. This book was exciting from the first chapter to the last. I liked that the main character, Dana, was more take charge than the lead female character in "Breach." I didn't find Whit's part as likeable and was a little disapointed he didn't get dumped at the end (he doesn't deserve Dana). MacDougal could have developed some of the characters better, such as the other lawyers Dana worked with. I had trouble putting this book down and would recommend it without reserve.

Great legal drama!

A great legal thriller for fans of the sub-genre and fans of suspense novels in general. MacDougal is a very talented writer and her novel's level of suspense should make John Grisham sit up and take notice!

Splendid Technological Seminar

A Technological Seminar of the First Order. Philadelphia lawyer Dana Svenssen emerges as a brilliant, complex, driven lawyer, whose technical, legal, creative, tough girl skills seem to know no bounds. Facing a daunting challenge in defending clients during an aviation disaster, she brings in the experts - and from them we learn. The technical knowledge range is awesome and educational. But it is presented in such a way that the plot keeps moving and the suspense heightens. As the author begins, "Certainty generally is illusion, and repose is not the destiny of man."
