Product Description

Susanna Yager, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
'Burke is a born storyteller and has created an attractive heroine whom I look forward to meeting again.'

Review
Debut novel by daughter of the great James Lee Burke and one that he can proudly applaud. Quite unlike JLB's own work, but exciting, individual and unreservedly excellent. ... An absorbing, enjoyable first outing. Safe to assume they'll be many more.' (Philip Oakes LITERARY REVIEW )

'Burke is a born storyteller and has created an attractive heroine whom I look forward to meeting again.' (Susanna Yager SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )

'A legal thriller with a twist that is stuffed with authentic detail.' (YORK EVENING PRESS )

'Burke's entry into the world of crime fiction was nver going to be easy. The daughter of possibly the genre's greatest exponant - James Lee Burke - the dagers were bound to be drawn from the start. But to her credit, the former Assistant DA manages to hold her own. Judgment Calls is a smart and savvy legal thriller. ... A chip off the old block.' (IRISH EXAMINER )

'Burke...handles the various threads of the story with aplomb, her characters are believable, her plotting is right on the buton, and in Kincaid she has created a sympathetic protagonist that I'm sure we'll hear about again.' (IRISH TIMES )

2.0 out of 5 stars Possibly not her best, 12 Jun 2009
By A. Keys (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Alafair Burke seems to get good reviews, so this book may not be representative. However, I found it so turgid & overly-detailed I gave up after the first few pages. In addition, the main character came across as humourless & rather self satisfied; not someone you found yourself rooting for.

She did spark enough interest that I skipped to the back just to see what happened, but having read the final pages, I honestly didn't feel I had missed much by skipping the bulk of the book!

If I decide to give Ms Burke another chance, I will be getting a library copy to be on the safe side, before I spend any more money.
