Summary: A big disappointment
Comment: I placed a preorder for this book as I have very much enjoyed all the previous ones by these authors. However this seemed completely different - turgid, boring. I found the characters too confusing, there waas little mystery and indeed little legal drama - many pages of complex subplot and descriptions of poison oak forest. Nina and Paul now both seem irritating and indeed irritated with each other.
I didn't really complete it - got completely lost and baffled in the party scene and then skipped to the short courtroom sessions.
I doubt if I will buy their next one - not without finding out if it is back on track.

Summary: BORING
Comment: I have been a huge fan of this series, so I bought the hardcover edition of this book with great confindence. All I can say is it is by far the worst in the series. It was so boring that it took me several weeks to finish it and it was a chore. I don't know what happened, but I am surprised because usually the plot is so great in these books. I usually adore Nina, but for some reason found myself being very irked by her. The mystery was idiotic and I found myself not caring about the outcome. The only redeeming part was the chapter about the "party" because it was so crazy. Keeping all the families straight in my mind was hard though because I did not care enough to put any real effort into it. I think one of the biggest drawbacks in this series is the fact that all of the interesting characters have died out. I hope the next book is better and we can get back to the real Nina.

Summary: "A new direction"
Comment: I enjoy watching the characters in books of this genre take new directions, it keeps readers on their toes. The characters in 'Presumption of Death,' by Perri O' Shaughnessy are well-thoughout and interesting and the plot had me reading the story to the final page with much eagerness. I find that to be a very appealing combination.
