It took a little bit to get into the book, more especially into the trial. But once the trial started, I was hooked. I really enjoyed the story, minus the last few chapters. They story would've been better without Kelly.

The trial portions are good. The fantasizing about the young woman abused by her husband is disgustingly bad. And overall, the whole thing is too long and slow.

My biggest gripes are the little story lines and characters that fade in and out, some end up being important, others get fully dropped. The whole Kelly thing was really 0 to 100 and something that never made complete sense to me. She's also written with zero personality or redeeming qualities besides being pretty, meek, and loyal (all the usual womanly traits). Other than that it's a cute litigation procedural.
