Summary: susan wolfe is a martha stewart wannabe
Review: I enjoyed this book a great deal, thought it was really good especially for a first book. Ever since I read it I have been looking for more books by Susan Wolfe - so sad not to find any.
It is so nice to find an author I like, I wish she would write a few dozen more.

Summary: A good mystery set in a legal envrironment
Review: I love this book. It is an interesting and enjoyable read. My only disappointment is that I want this to be a series. It would make such a great series and be very interesting to see the characters develop. Over the past several years I have looked in bookstores to see if Susan Wolfe has written another book. If she has written another book I have not been able to find it. This book is currently out of print but if you can find a copy of this book, read it. You won't be disappointed. You'll enjoy it.

Summary: One of the best legal thrillers out there !
Review: I thought this a very enjoyable mystery with an endearing hero. Every since I read it, I've checked bookstores to make sure Susan Wolfe didn't sneak another one out there while I wasn't watching.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I thought this was an excellent first novel - well-written and plotted, with an outstanding sense of the atmosphere and character of the Silicon Valley law firm. However, I'm afraid I'm hideously biased, as I know the author. :) To those of you who are wondering about sequels, I happen to know that Ms. Wolfe is now busy as the General Counsel of a Silicon Valley software company, but she fully intends to return to writing after she retires.

Summary: susan wolfe is a martha stewart wannabe
Review: the book is not of literary worth. wolfe probably wrote about her experiences at a major silicon valley firm where she spent only 3 years. she was a loser associate in every respect having lasted only 3 years. she has a cold heart and will likely end up like leona or martha. no wonder she thinks of murdering partners.

Summary: A must read for legal wannabes
Review: The truly outstanding aspect of this book is the accuracy with which it depicts the experience of a rookie lawyer in an ambitious law firm. Having entering the Bay Area legal scene a year after Susan Wolfe, I can vouch for the authenticity of Howard Rickover's angst. Yes, partners do dump projects on your desk that can't be billed and then chastise you for not having enough billable hours. No, partners generally don't get murdered in their offices. Anyhow, the mystery aspect of this book is adequate but the sense of life and greed in the 1980's legal world is very real. I left the law in 1989 - can only hope that things are better. My notes indicate this book won an Edgar for best first novel. I can't find any hint of sequel. Wolfe must have had to get her billable hours back up
