Not as clean as a Tourot or Grisham, but still entertaining. To me, Grisham develops a story line beautifully, and you don't have to suspend reality, with the story line being carefully constructed and developed, all very believable. In the Judge, there were a few, albeit very few, times where I felt myself feeling, "well that's not very likely". But those times weren't enough to interfere with the story, and it was still an enjoyable legal thriller.

mediocre story, drags a bit, telegraphs some of the key plot points a bit early. ( )

Another good legal thriller from Martini. ( )

A solid effort by Martini. Paul Madriani working WITH Acosta, his nemesis, didn't exactly ring true with me. Very little conflict in getting there - almost a fait accompli. Plus the idea of disturbing a potential crime scene (as an officer of the court) was ludicrous. Other than that, it was typical Martini --- good surprise ending, but not so good as Undue Influence.
