Local Fools,
By
This review is from: Local Rules (Hardcover)
I can't write little enough about this book, it all sounds like bull to me. This book made me take the next day off work sick it was so bad. A real page-sticker. Recommended to people with bad eye-sight and bad hearing with mimimal interaction with other people. Jay Brandon could ruin your life like he has ruined mine. All that said I would still rather read this than talk to anyonre in my hostel, the USA Hostel in San Francisco.

More true-to-life than most,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Local Rules (Hardcover)
The story is laid out above (Editorial Reviews). So I'll just add that I liked it. It was pleasantly different than most legalmysteries in that it was about regular people in a rural town, not your wealth blahblahblah clients who can and do buy and manipulate everything and everyone in sight. This is the third book by Jay Brandon I've read and enjoyed. The only blooper I found was that the lawyer went looking to see if the defendant was wearing a ring. Everything is taken

Classic courtroom drama told just at the right pace,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Local Rules (Paperback)
Unlike the works of John Grisham, this classic coutroom drama is told at a bit slower pace, leaving enough time to watch the story unfold and enjoy the characters, yet it never gets boring and pages are turned just as quickly, maybe even faster.I specifically enjoyed the fact that the mystery unfolds around one single case only, and is solved within the confines of the original setting (a small village and its courtroom) without resolving to surprising outside developments which in other courtroom dramas sometimes come from left field. This allows the reader to keep guessing at the solution without "changing the rules" halfway through the book. Brandon needs no subplots and doesn't have to jump between multiple storylines to spice up his book, the suspense comes from the classic "whodunit" question, which in this case is overshaded by the questions of "whydunit" and the mystery of the strange behavior of the entire village. I would! certainly recommend this book, however, for readers that look for more action-packed drama, there may not be enough "meat" in this novel. 0 of 2 people found the following review helpful
