A review by maureenmccombs
The Guilty Plea by Robert Rotenberg

4.0

I do love a good mystery/courtroom thriller and this book was both. This is the first book by Rotenberg that I have read and it was very, very good. The characters are well-formed, the plot is plausible, the twists and turns were unpredictable and this all adds up to a very enjoyable read. One of my GR friends has wondered why Rotenberg is not as well known as Grisham - I agree with her - this book is every bit as good as Grisham and in fact much better than many of his recent, extremely formulaic attempts. The pace of this book is fast and it was very easy to stay engaged in this novel from beginning to end. Great effort and I will look forward to reading more of Rotenberg's future books.
