Fiction this week, a novel I picked up while on a Michael Connelly kick. This one started out good and then, suddenly, I couldn't put it down. Not that I minded but the family was ignored for a few hours one evening.
Still, my wife is reading it now, so I expect to be washing dishes and cooking solo one night soon.
The book is THE LINCON LAWYER and is selling for a measly five bucks right now!
Publisher's Weekly gave it a starred review and said: "After Connelly spends the book's first half involving the reader in Mickey's complex world, he thrusts his hero in the middle of two high-stakes duels, against the state and his own client, for heart-stopping twists and topflight storytelling."
Edited to add: I just received responses to an interview I did with true crime author Kathryn Casey. I will probably not post a Thriller Thursday next week (Xmas Eve and all) but will run it the following week.

Would you comment on the jury candidate strikes that occur during the Voir dire process: the strike types, number for each side, the circumstances for using a strike.

Do you mean in the book, or the strikes I use in my cases?
ReplyDeleteWhichever the answer... yes!
