Summary: Are all so-called legal thrillers this predictable?
Comment: As a woman lawyer and avid novel reader, I was intrigued to hear author Mimi Latt speak to a group of us about her transition from litigator to 'best-selling author.' I purchased a copy of her book, Pursuit of Justice, even though I don't typically read mysteries and legal fiction. I was sorely disappointed by the standardized plot, wafer-thin characters, and trite observances. Shouldn't there be a more artistic (or just interesting) way to say "Rebecca felt like she was on an emotional roller coaster"?

Halfway through this murder mystery, I was still yawningly unconcerned about who killed Ryan Morland or why. I knew so little about him, I had no reason to care. And his grieving widow, Rebecca, who's supposed to be an attorney herself, makes all the most obvious and stupid mistakes, only because without them, the plot couldn't hold together.

I suspect Ms. Latt can do much better than this simplistic, unenergetic tale. I hope she'll try.

Summary: Practically unreadable
Comment: It is unbelievable to me that anyone could actually praise this book. As a lawyer, I found it totally without credibility in any respect. The characters are amateurishly drawn. This book gives new meaning to the word "cliche."

Summary: Magnificent!!!
Comment: I read the other reviews written about this book from other readers and I am dumbfounded!! I cannot believe that one reader thought that the plot was paper-thin. Not true. This book is a real page turner!! Ms. Latt's characters are full bodied and interesting. I truly felt heartache for Rebecca and wanted to choke Catherine and her flipant, snotty and witchy attitude toward Rebecca. In my opinion Rebecca should have flung her off the boat it definately would have been justifiable homicide not to mention an act of kindness on the part of humanity. As with all Ms. Latt's books, I could not put this one down!!! I cannot say enough about Ms. Latt's writing skills and brillant stories.
