From Publishers Weekly

The crusading longtime chief of Manhattan's Sex Crimes Prosecutions Unit brings to her exciting first novel the same passion and insights into the criminal and crime-busting minds that marked her memoir, Sexual Violence (1994). Fairstein also brings herself to the novel-or at least an alter ego of a narrator, Alexandra Cooper, who's also a middle-aged blonde heading the borough's prosecution of sex offenders. Cooper's typical day of counseling victims and working with the NYPD on sex crimes would probably keep readers fascinated, but her latest problem-the shooting murder of glamorous movie star Isabella Lascar at Cooper's getaway home on Martha's Vineyard-pitches the plot at high intensity right away. Though Cooper is warned by the DA not to play cop, she and homicide detective Mike Chapman, who's assigned to bodyguard her, work together unofficially to solve the crime, carrying on a sort of anti-romance all the while. Fairstein isn't a gifted stylist-her dialogue is as wooden as a judge's gavel-and the details of Cooper's professional and personal lives drive the story forward with more vigor than the murder investigation does. Some readers will be disappointed, too, that Cooper, like any victim, has to be rescued in the end by her fiercely protective and ingenious friends on the NYPD. But then this heroine's greatest appeal lies in the warmth of her friendships, the humanness of her mistakes and her unswerving devotion to protecting the next female from harm. As a woman with grave responsibilities who still puts her pantyhose on one leg at a time, she makes a memorable debut.

From Library Journal

When assistant district attorney Alexandra Cooper allows friend and film star Isabella Lascar to borrow her summer home on Martha's Vineyard, she has no idea that Isabella will end up dead and that Alexandra's boyfriend will emerge as the prime suspect. Who is the real murderer? Was Alexandra the intended target? Though most listeners will figure out the answers pretty early on, the story is engaging and the pacing is on the money. Reader Diane Venora performs real-life Manhattan prosecutor Fairstein's gritty prose quite well. This recording will make a fine addition to mystery collections.?Danna C.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent behind the scenes look at an assistant DA., Juil 12 2004
Par Kel "acountkel" (Charlotte, NC USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Final Jeopardy (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a pretty good book. It is an excellent dipiction of what happens in the "sex crime unit" as an assistant district attorney. The story line was pretty decent as well. Alexandra is an assistant DA in the "sex crime unit" in NY. Her actress friend borrows her place on Martha's Vineyard and while she is there, she is murdered. At first the authorities think the murder was mistaken identity (should have been Alex) but as it turns out it wasn't. With a few twists and turns, the book continues nicely coming full circle at the end. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Fair story, poor prose, Fév 25 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Final Jeopardy (Mass Market Paperback)
I would have found this story of mystery and murder more engrossing if Fairstein's prose had been less murky, and the dialog less stilted. Conversations read like narrative, and it was often difficult to figure out who was speaking. The overall tone, even given the hard-boiled prosecutor and seen-it-all detectives, was flat and expressionless. With all the tightly written, literate crime novels out there, I wouldn't be inclined to try Ms. Fairstein's works again.

4.0étoiles sur 5 enjoyable and easy read, Fév 24 2004
Par Paul Ammann (New Fairfield, CT United) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Final Jeopardy (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was my first introduction to Linda Fairstein. I'm more of a Patricia Cornwell fan. Overall, the book reminded me of tv shows Law & Order SVU and CSI. I had a hard time getting into the book at first, but quickly eased into Linda's writing style. The story flowed pretty quickly and smoothly, although the main character came across a little "dim-witted" between the middle and end of the book. The only odd thing I've noticed about Linda's books is that they aren't listed in order from book to book. I had to go to her web site to make sure I followed the proper order.

The best thing that "Final Jeopardy" has going for it is its utter lack of pretension. Fairstein seems to know exactly what she's writing: fun, fast pulp fiction. Read more
