Reader Reviews
Excellent book! As a law student, I spend a good portion of my waking hours reading. I get to read casebooks, statutes, and treatises - and the last thing I want to do with my sparse amound of free time after reading all of that is read a book about a lawyer in my spare time. That is, until I met Jake McCarthy. Mr. Baldwin has put together a legal mystery thriller that is simple, fun, and fast to read. The plot speeds along and kept me interested. The characters were sophisticated, but not so sophisticated that I had to spend a lot of time keeping them straight. I was able to finish the book inbetween reading for class over a week. Most legal thrillers are too long, and too complicated to keep straight while keeping my legal studies straight. Mr. Baldwin has managed to pack action, debauchery, legal prowess, and international intrigue into a concise, fun book. The plot is tight and well thought out, and the descriptions of the setting are excellent. In addition, the weaving of the Souteast Asian and Midwest Indian cultures is creative and well-done. Mr. Baldwin seems to have thought it all through in creating this piece. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to read a Tom Clancy-esque thriller but doesn't think they have the time.
