The Suspense Never Rests ..., April 12 2005
By C.J. Darlington "Author of Thicker Than Blood... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sins Of The Fathers (Paperback)
At first glance, Darren DiCinni is a normal, scrawny teenager - no longer a boy, not yet a man. But looks can be deceiving. This thirteen-year-old has just shot six people to death in cold blood. A slam dunk life-without-parole case? Not to Lindy Field, Darren's young and ambitious defense attorney.
Library Journal calls James Scott Bell "a master of legal suspense", and that's clearly evident in SINS OF THE FATHERS. With a keep-you-guessing plot, witty dialogue, and memorable three-dimensional characters, I tried to savor it and read little bits each day. But by the time I was half-way through, I couldn't put it down. I like that about a book. I also appreciate how the faith element is woven into the plot in unpreachy ways. We discover Christian truths right along with Lindy and company, and we root for her every step of the way.
SINS OF THE FATHERS probably compares closest to Jim's award winning FINAL WITNESS, but with even more depth (and minus the Russian mafia).
The suspense definitely never rests in a James Scott Bell novel ... and neither, apparently, does James Scott Bell. I highly recommend this book to thriller and contemporary fiction readers alike.

I could not put this down!, May 11 2005
By Michael A. Berrier - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sins Of The Fathers (Paperback)
James Scott Bell takes on tough issues and deals with them head-on in this absolutely riveting story. He carries his readers through grueling loss while extracting mercy from places you'd never expect. He manages to evoke sympathy for even the most seemingly unsympathetic characters, and raises questions that need to be asked about our system of justice -- while conveying insightful understanding of the system itself and those who participate in it. This is a story about loss, redemption, justice, and mercy, and I'll never forget its characters. I could not put this book down, and the suspense in the story forced me to finish it in a day. Highly recommended.

Fabulous characterization, Feb 4 2006
By Deborah Raney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sins Of The Fathers (Paperback)
After reading John Grisham's first eight novels (and loving them) I discovered James Scott Bell. Now I'll only read Grisham if I have time after I've finished Bell's latest book. What does he have over Grisham. In a word--characters! Bell brings his people to life in a way few authors are able to achieve. He somehow manages to give a character's entire compelling backstory in one succinct line. Sins of the Fathers is his best yet, though Breach of Promise will always be up there near the top of my list.
Listmania!
