Product Details
|
The particulars of the killings are so similar to the first set of murders that Amanda is convinced Cardoni is involved. When he is found to be working at the same hospital where he was once a promising surgeon (this time as a custodian and under an assumed name), she draws the logical conclusion. But when she finds Cardoni's severed hand at the scene of the crimes, she is forced to rethink the assumptions on which her defense of the doctor's ex-wife is based. Could Justine, in fact, be the killer? Author Phillip Margolin's newest book moves at an almost frantic pace. Bodies pile up, evidence mounts, and everything points to Cardoni's guilt until the end, a stunner that surprises Amanda as well as the reader. This chilling, deftly crafted novel will hold the reader's attention to the last page. --Jane Adams --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Summer Suspense,
By Parisfan (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wild Justice Low Price (Audio Cassette)
I heard Philip Margolin at a University of Toronto suspense author's night, and went out afterwards to check out his works. The guy is on his tenth book, which in itself is a feat. I read part of his current one (Sleeping Beauty) and he read from this, but I'll give it a miss. I picked up a couple of his paperbacks though and Wild Justice is the first one I read. It is a page-turner. The ending became obvious mid way through the book, and the story was less plausible than I'd like, but by the time you realized that, the hook was in. I'll probably read a few of his others.

Just not very good.,

This review is from: Wild Justice (Mass Market Paperback)
A co-worker of mine read this after it had been recommended by a friend. But she was disappointed when she finished it. I should have listened to her and skipped it, but I didn't have anything else to read at the time, so I gave it a shot.The plot is fast-paced, and exciting, but there really isn't much more to it, besides a lot of bodies, blood and gore. The characters are completely unrealistic and shallow, and the "twist" at the end is easy to see coming. I had it figured out around page 125 somewhere. If you like a page-turner with lots of violence, you may enjoy this book. Otherwise, it's not worth the time.

A bit too easy to figure...some good moments though,

This review is from: Wild Justice (Mass Market Paperback)
This was my first Margolin book and it was a decent read. I really liked Amanda and Frank Jaffe. They are sympathic leads. However, book tries to be a serious and complex mystery, but I figured it out well before the end. In fact, some of my questions about the murderer were not answers. I don't want to ruin the book and put my questions here, but I still don't quite understand the frame-ups. Why? The dialogue here is a bit too wooden and the plot too bizarre.
