The First Law

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing
Review: The premise of this story is a good one: a disappointed cop,
and his protective lawyer-buddy, have to take the law into their
own hands to stop some heavily-entrenched, protected, thugs and criminals from further injuring the innocent. But the exciting
promise is never reached. The author spends so much time trying
to be "politically correct," his personal goals get in the way
of a good story, and the book is disappointing.
Only for a few, so be careful about how much time you put into
this one.

Summary: End of Hardy/Glitsky era?
Review: This is the first book by Lescroart I was really disappointed with. Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitsky seem depressed and burned out. It seemed neither one wanted to do anything about anything. There is no actual mystery - the prologue gives the ending away and the story just seems to plod along. Only near the end of the book does it begin to pick up and show some life. Don't think I'll read anymore in this series - these characters are too depressing!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This one is not even close to his best and after reading everything he has put out with these characters this one leaves me a bit disapointed. The Prologue pretty much tells you what happens where you are going to end up once you get through the next 400 odd pages. Glitsky is hanging on to a desk job waiting for his pension and the partnership of Dismas and David Freeman is broken up.
