Title: Predictable, poorly written, and a corny sex scene
Review: Like all the others, I had figured out that Cardoni was not guilty by page 100. Of course, I admit I had to go back and reread the beginning pages, but it was pretty clear that the author had taken giant steps to keep any refernce to him off the page when the murderous events were taking place. Unfortunately, no one really cares whether Cardoni is innocent or not. Margolin's main character is a woman, and like most male writers, he lacks the facility to tell the story from the female viewpoint. Most of the characters are cardboard, and the moment the sex scene came up, I said, she's sleeping with the enemy [and hasn't that one been done to death?]. Save your time and efforts. Read something by Robert K. Tanenbaum.
