RARA-AVIS: Scott Turow, legal thrillers

        Never tried Turow, tried a Grisham and thought it was just how you described this Turow.

        I did finish a decent legal thriller last week that I thought some of you hard-boiled fans might appreciate. It's called The Judge. The author is Steve Martini. It's written in the first person point of view, has compelling courtroom dialogue (at least, for me), and is full of wry observations on the characters and the legal institution. The climax was cookie-cutter, but most ending disappoint me. It's an easy read. Give it a try.
