Rating:  Summary: Awesome Thriller, Stunning Read Review: This one had me hooked from the very first chapter. The more I read, the more I wanted to keep going. When I got to the end last night, it blew me away.The story is about a young attorney who gets dragged into a horrific murder case and quickly learns how corrupt the world can be and how some people don't put much stock in the truth. But he hangs in there, sacrificing himself and his job to save his client and a woman he thinks might be the killer's next victim. While I was reading, I thought about John Grisham, but also Thomas Harris. Yet this book doesn't depend on either author and stands out all by itself as totally unique. The characters are well developed, and the plot is cut so fine I had trouble believing it was only Ellis's second novel. It's that good. The Dead Room is a must-read. I highly recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: Bad Editing Review: This was an ok story. There are others out there that are better written. The editing is atrocious, the supposed killer was first introduced as a brother of the wife of one of the main characters. Later in the book the same accused killer was now the brother of the husband. Can't have it both ways.
