Summary: Martini keeps it interesting
Comment: I was very pleased with the work of Steve Martini in Undue Influence. This is the first book that I have read by him, but I am sure that I will read more. The numerous plot twists and courtroom excitement kept this book open in my hands for long periods of time.
Rating: 5
Summary: Try it, you'll like it
Comment: I'm turning into a 'lawyer-novel-junkie'. This is the first novel I've read by Martini, and I will be reading more in the future. If his other books are anything close to this one, I look forward to spending a lot more enjoyable and suspence filled hours. I felt that Martini does a good job in providing the reader with 'clues' along the way. Pay attention and you'll feel a level of satisfaction that you were able to guess 'who dunnit' about the time that Martini wraps up all the loose ends. Great book!

Summary: His very best, wonderful inventive plot with ultimate twist!
Comment: We've nearly given up on Steve Martini several times. While we enjoyed his first novel, "Simeon Chamber", most of the others of his books we have read, including a couple others from the Defense Attorney Paul Madriani series, have been so incredibly dry during sluggish middle sections that we really should have quit them right there. However, this his fourth novel, and third Madriani, gets it completely right: good writing, one of the most clever plots we've ever encountered, sustained suspense and pace, and a story so engrossing we'll admit to staying up til three in the morning to get to the end!
We don't want to reveal too much plot, but in short, Madriani is defending his sister-in-law Laurel on the charge of murdering her ex-husband's trophy wife. A custody battle for her two kids is an apparent motive, and the evidence all seems to look bad, including secrets Laurel won't even reveal to her defense team. Suspense builds as we join the courtroom audience for an entertaining fight with a female prosecutor with a chip on her shoulder, not to mention the main cop (Lama) who is a Madriani enemy. Things don't get sorted out until quite late in the book, yet we're on edge til nearly the very last page as twists and turns in the story line have us hustling through the pages at breakneck speed. A most unusual ending is our final reward!
This book is as good as Scott Turow or John Grisham at their best. While we're still not totally Madriani fan club enthusiasts, this is surely one of the best books we've read in a long time -- and thus very highly recommended!
