Dead Even: A Novel by Brad Meltzer

3.0

Entertaining, well-paced story about married lawyers who end up on opposite sides of the same case. Why would they ever agree to this conflict of interest? Because unbeknownst to the other, each has been promised that dropping or losing the case means the death of their spouse. Though the premise is clever, I had hoped for slightly better writing and more fully developed characters. I've read several of Meltzer's newer novels, and he's clearly come a long way since 1998!
