"I know that when I drag a book around with me everywhere (and I mean everywhere) so that I can read it every free moment, it is a great book. Murder One was that type of book for me. Great character development, a thrilling plot that keeps you guessing until the end, and a likeable main character all come together for an unbelievable combination...Best selling Author Robert Dugoni will keep you in suspense and guessing until the very end." 
- Lori Burns, Mysterious Galaxy, San Diego, CA.

 

"Robert Dugoni shows that he and his main character David Sloan are as at home in a criminal court as they are in a civil one. The courtroom scenes and surprises rival those of Perry Mason. Good police work, terrific legal expertise, and superb character development all contribute to a very believable legal thriller. Dugoni just gets better and better, and I can't wait to see what David Sloan will face next time."

" David Slone (Bodily Harm) is slowly rebuilding his life after his wife's murder. He runs into Barclay Reid, a beautiful attorney and an old legal adversary. Reid is also grieving; her daughter died from a drug overdose. They start dating, but Reid is obsessed with the man she believes caused her daughter's death, so when he gets off on a technicality, Reid decides to go after him via a civil suit with the famous "Jury Master" himself, Slone, as her new lawyer. The romance flourishes until the drug kingpin ends up dead, and Reid is arrested for his murder. Slone reluctantly tackles her defense, his first time in a criminal courtroom, but Reid isn't always forthcoming, and Slone finds his case unraveling. After his investigator uncovers some troubling evidence, the suspense really ratchets up a notch until the final, surprise ending. VERDICT Tight plotting and well-developed characters push Dugoni to the head of the legal thriller pack in what is probably his finest book to date. John Grisham and Scott Turow fans should add Dugoni to their list of must-reads. "

Library Journal."Dugoni continues to deliver the legal-thriller goods with his latest David Sloane novel. Still reeling from the death of his wife in Bodily Harm (2010), Seattle attorney Sloane finds unexpected comfort in Barclay Reid, a female lawyer with whom he has sparred in court. Barclay's daughter died of a drug overdose years earlier, and, since then, she has made it a crusade to convict drug traffickers. One of the biggest, Filyp Vasiliev, gets off on a technicality. Soon, he's found murdered, and the evidence leads the police first to Sloane and then Reid. The thrills and surprises fly as Sloane tries to to prove Reid s innocence. Dugoni has often been described as a challenger to Turow and the other big names in the legal-thriller genre, but at this point, he s claimed his own position on the A-list. A must read for fans of courtroom drama, from Grisham to Turow to Erle Stanley Gardner."
