Reviews / Votes
Praise for the Rachel Knight series * . * You must read this book: it is wildly and complexly plotted, ebulliently witty and filled with riotous humor; it details the inner workings of the L.A. legal system with unprecedented accuracy and verve - and to top it off, it is a damn, damn, good thriller. * James Ellroy * Marcia Clark's debut novel showcases her experience and knowledge of the legal system. The pace, plot and dialogue are as sharp as they come in the genre. * David Baldacci * This introduction to LA special prosecutor Rachel Knight charms from the first line then surfs a tide of knockabout humour, sassy backchat and armour-piercing observation * <i>Daily Telegraph</i> * Taut, compelling, and accomplished, with a gritty authenticity that comes from an insider's knowledge of the criminal justice system...A first rate legal thriller * Meg Gardiner * Knight makes a compelling protagonist - rebellious, straight-forward, salty * <i>Guardian</i> * An accomplished debut...Clark is a polished writer who knows her material * <i>Sunday Telegraph</i> Australia * Her first legal thriller, about a tenacious Los Angeles DA, is on the money * <i>Daily Mail</i> * A corker of a debut novel * <i>Kirkus Review</i> * A triumphant fiction debut...Readers will want to see a lot more of Knight, who combines strength of character and compassion with all-too-human foibles. * <i>Publishers Weekly</i> * Remarkably accomplished...A top-notch legal thriller that will leave readers wanting more. * <i>Booklist</i> * Spying on the system's inner workings proves increasingly addictive, and it's refreshing to find a lead character pursuing a stressful life because she actually enjoys it. A blade-sharp read. * Financial Times *More details
