Review # 1 was written on 2010-09-26 00:00:00 Greg Fisher Twist and shout! Death and gloom! Very slow start but it picked up through the middle then an ending that could’ve used a little more finesse I thought. I like the series of Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitsky it’s good to follow them. I seldom read them in order only because I don’t get them in order. Nonetheless it was a good read.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-12 00:00:00 Jonathan Wilkerson finished this morning 19th of september 2020 good read four stars really liked it kindle owned this one is a telling of an event the is told in part in at least one other story forget which one and mentioned in other stories the gunfight at pier 70 and i like how in this story lescroart addresses the idea of what i've called frontier justice...a motif that is prevalent in many of the stories i've read of late and while the other writers never seem to question...to any degree...the idea that one can take the law into one's hands...vigilante justice, another phrase for the same idea...here, lescroart digs a bit deeper into the subject and there's an analogy about the fabled ghetto and what happens there...lack of law, own hands, this that the other. anyway, it's a start. our country this i see. the first law. hmmm.
