I love John Ellsworth books especially the Thaddeus Murphy series, so I finished that series and started in on Michael Gresham books. They are grittier and a little more violent but very believable and I love the trial work and the great explanations about court procedure. I can't wait to get the next Michael Gresham book!"</p><p> </p><p>"When you are looking for writing excellence you cannot go wrong with John Ellsworth! This book is no exception, it is maybe more shocking than those I have read before, but the story is good and believable, with well drawn characters. The shock element is dealt with sensitively which reduces the impact fortunately, but the twists are clever and unexpected, keeping this story fresh in the reader's mind long after the book closes!"</p><p> </p><p>"Once again, John Ellsworth has written a winner. I have read all of his books and they have all been very good. This one is a little darker but the story line is very compelling and the characters are well developed, as they are in all of his novels. I hope he keeps writing because I will keep buying. I look forward to the next MG book just as I did the TM and Sisters books. Another book with Christine would go well about now. Thanks for the reading enjoyment. I am a big fan."</p><p> </p><br>
