Summary: Courthouse Steps
Review: Judson Ingalls' trial keeps you in suspense throughout the novel, leaving one to wonder to the very end whether he actually killed his wife or not. While still suspecting his daughter may have had some involvement. The romance between the lawyer and D.A. kept everyone on the edge of their seats....for an excellent ending to an overcharge, extremely emotional novel.

Summary: Wonderful series
Review: This book has a good story line that ties in well with the others in this series. There is very good character continuity considering that the books are written by several different authors. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series to find out how it all wraps up.
