While covering the New York murder trial of Lenore, accused of killing her artist husband Bram Serian, midwesterner Owen Byrne fights a deep attraction to the accused, even as her involvement in the murder seems ever more unquestionable.
Just got around to reading this--and I was pleasantly surprised. I found this a well-written, interesting, insightful novel. Better written than many courtroom novels today. Good background on courtroom stuff, without being pedantic.
Held My Interest
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This was my first Dorian North book and it really held my interest. Although I am not a native Kansan, I have lived here many years and the references to the Flint Hills and Wichita were fun to read. The characters and plot were good, although some parts of the story were a bit too "pat". Some of the court-room dialoge could have been cut down. I liked the ending. I thought I had it all figured out and it took a nice twist. Overall it was an enjoyable read. This was my lunch-time book and I looked forward to it each day. I have added Dorian North's name to the list of authors on a post-it note I keep on my library card. I plan to read more of her work.
ENGROSSING
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
it took me a while to get into it, but i found myself getting pulled deeper and deeper into the story, and then it was very hard to put down. one reviewer said there should have been a better ending with the main characters. i disagree. when the book ended, the story wasn't over: the last bit of the epilogue was left up to the reader and, in my mind, the ending was eminently satisfactory. this was my first darian north book, but it won't be my last.
A good book

This book was good. I really liked the suspense in the courtroom scenes. I didn't like it when a character had a long story to tell. I also would have liked a better ending with the main characters.
