Nifty Tale

Here I am. It's 1:54 AM. I should have been asleep for three hours already; instead, I just finished reading "Wrongful Death". Couldn't put it down at the end. It was an enjoyable book to read, although it dealt with a soldier's death in Iraq. And a few more deaths along the way. It was a well-crafted novel that includes a likable and skilled lawyer, David Sloan, his capable friend Charles Jenkins. And throw in a strong...

As intricately woven a plot as Dugoni's Jury Master

The second in what I hope will be a long series of David Sloan novels by Robert Dugoni, this book succeeds in making the improbable believable. When Sloan sets out to sue the federal government to obtain benefits he believes belong to the family of a National Guardsman killed in the Iraq War, he must overcome a formidable barrier--the doctrine that prohibits soldiers or their families from suing the US government for injuries...

Legal thriller with a little bit of everything

The taut pacing of the story is punctuated by brief and extremely tense segments revealing the action in Iraq that led to the demise...

Fast-paced legal thriller; may want to start with the first in the series

"Wrongful Death" is a fast-paced legal thriller with a large side helping of military-conspiracy. It wasn't my favorite legal thriller (my favorite genre of mystery) but I enjoyed it very much. The book started out a little slow & disjointed for me but I soon got into the flow of it. So keep going even if you don't love it for the first 20 pages or so. After I finished the book, I realized this is the second David Sloane...
