tbsims's review against another edition
2.0
lots of mentions that Sasha is broken, but Connelly, the boyfriend, I don't think is any better - he has an easier time saying I love you and I want to marry you, yes. But he also takes a job in another State, doesn't explain why and doesn't involve her in the process or decision. They have no business getting married - they both need to evolve.

Good story and characters, not great. I had some problem with the ending. While new evidence was introduced in the final pages, it was circumstantial and regarding means. There was no mention of contradictory evidence previously mentioned regarding opportunity, which this opportunity would appear to be a quite unlikely set of events, although the events were presented in a vague way. Also, there was a hint that the accused may have had possession of his weapon, while another similar weapon remained at the scene. The timing of this hint was left unclear, but presented as after the incident. What I am saying is the ending left too many questions about plausibility.

In book #3, Sasha McCandless is thrown into the world of criminal defense. Her old firm (Prescott and Talbot) asks her to defend the husbands of two murdered partners at their firm. Of course they don't tell her everything, and she has to figure out her own cases as well as what they don't want her to know.
I felt like this was the most well-developed of the 3 Sasha McCandless books, in terms of supporting characters and plot twists. It still seems like things come too easy for Sasha at times, but she had to struggle more. I was glad that she was smart enough to get some help with her murder trials, rather than just assuming she could do it all herself despite a lack of experience. This book was a good mix of legal wrangling, investigation, and the usual scuffles that Sasha seems to get into. It wasn't quite as exciting or as good as book #1 but it was still a solid 3.5 to 4 stars.

It was looking like an OK extension of the series until the very end, when the climax demanded that I give it the highest score of the first three.

The plot here never quite hung together, but it was a moderately enjoyable read nonetheless
