Title: A very good book
Review: Brad Meltzer's Dead Even is a great book by many standards. The plot is suspenseful, and the law know-how is very interesting. The characters are realistic with different foibles, personalities, and ethics. I loved this book a lot and I can safely say I could not put it down most of the way. The complex story is very fascinating, and as a writer myself, I appreciate the cerebration something like that might require. However, I was not too satisfied with the ending. It is too gory for my taste. I would have preferred steaming courtroom disputes and heated trials, and a legal clincher to end the story. That is what the story lacked. Nevertheless, the book is well worth reading.
