A review by martyfried
The Ophelia Cut by John Lescroart

4.0

Another fairly typical Lescroart novel, although this one deviated a bit. Oh, it had the usual Dismas Hardy widecracks, with Abe Glitsky's dry responses, a few humorous T-shirts, etc. But in this one, we're never sure if the accused is guilty or not, and the ending isn't that happy. But I'm not complaining; I think it's a good thing to break the mold now and then to keep us on our toes.

There is a fair amount of material that relates back to a previous book, "The First Law", so it would be very good if one was to read it before the current one. I usually like to read a series in order, so I knew all about it, and I'm sure it added to my enjoyment. It's not completely necessary, but you will be wondering what happened if you didn't read it first.
