Title: Heartstone
Product review: Margolin may have written other more well received novels, such as "Gone But Not Forgotten", or "The Last Innocent Man", I am told by friends, but to me, here in "Heartstone", he has written a novel that could very well be classified as one of today's true crime expose's. His list of characters is long, but interesting, and very well interwoven as he brings them together and details their inter-relationships.Starting with the murder of Richie Walters and his cheerleader girlfriend Elaine Murray, who have just agreed to go steady, the plot developes into a multitude of experiences from Esther Peglosi's key witness role, to her seduction by a police officer, to her hypnotic episode, to a lawyers eye opening revelation, all of which lead to a totally acceptable story-tell ending with the deathbed confession of the true murderer. Cleverly written, fast moving, entirely believable, and well worth the time spent in reading it.
