4.0�toiles sur 5 A Sleazy Fellow's Bad Deeds Catch Up With Him, Mai 23 2003

Par	George Webster, Ph.D., (Orlando, FL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Murder in the Supreme Court (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a typical Margaret Truman mystery. The plot is simple, the characters are well-drawn, and we get more of Margaret Truman's wonderful insight into Washington. A law clerk at the Supreme Court is found shot to death while he sits in the chair of the Chief Justice. Lieutenant Martin Teller of the Washington police and Susanna Pincher of the Justice Department investigate the murder. They find that the Supreme Court is not the high-minded place they imagined. It is a hot bed of intrigue, backbiting, and politics, especially under a right wing Chief Justice and President. The law clerk had dug up dirt on all the Justices and was using it claw his way to the White House. Thus, we have plenty of suspects in high places. It makes for a tangled web and a relaxing mystery to read.

This review is from: Murder in the Supreme Court (Mass Market Paperback)

Murder is not a subject that one thinks of when one considers the somber, hallowed halls of the stately granite structure that abuts the U. S. Capitol grounds. Yet the author makes the crime in the sacred highest court in the land indeed seem plausible. The reader is spellbound throughout the narrative of this page-turner. The insight into the behind-the-scenes working of the court gives even more credibility to this mystery. This is a welcome addition to the spectular crime series.

Par	Christina P. Branson "killer_b_books" (Farmington) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Murder in the Supreme Court (Mass Market Paperback)

The cop had his moments, but on the whole the characters were not very well drawn, and the manner in which they interrelated were slapdash. Maybe it was just typical of the disco era in which this book was written, but I thought the dialogue was atrocious. The puzzle was not all that compelling, and the author's political overtones seemed both simplistic and schizophrenic.

Final verdict: a poor attempt at mystery fiction.
