	No Self Defense Plea Needed: A Risky Novel That Pays Off  Jan 3, 2009
I am still behind on my Randy Singer reading. I've read only the first four of his eight novels (at this point). I am reading them in order, by the way. And this one is the best so far. He introduced Brad Carson and Leslie O'Connor in his first novel ("Directed Verdict"), as well as secretary Bela, paralegal Nikki Moreno. Nikki showed up in the next two novels, but Bela only showed up once in the third novel, Brad's firm was mentioned with no appearances from Brad, and Leslie was not mentioned. In "Self-Incrimination", we see the return of Brad, Leslie, and Bela, with Nikki only mentioned twice. Randy Singer took risks in this novel. The major risk was his decision to tell the novel from the first person's perspective. Is that a risk? Only if he took it from a female perspective, which he did. This is Leslie's story. The second risk was bringing back Mitch Taylor, the protagonist of the second novel ("Irreparable Harm"), as an antagonist. Singer makes both work well. The story is believable as being told by a woman (Singer mentioned in the acknowledgments) he had female advance readers to give him feedback), and Mitch stays in character, being a believable antagonist. (Note -- there is a difference between an antagonist and a villain; an antagonist merely needs to be an opposing party, but you can have a nice, decent antagonist.) The only drawback to this story is trying to put the first four stories on a timeline, which is not a problem if you are reading this one first or if you skipped from "Directed Verdict" directly to this one. It sounds like this is the most recent one in time because of the (lack of) role of Nikki Moreno. However, it sounds like this story follows "Directed Verdict" by a period of time too short to fit the other two novels in. This is a nit-picking criticism of my favorite author -- it has nothing to do to keep this novel from being a great read. I'm learning not to read the back of Singer's novels, because they usually tell something that happens late in the story but that has my mind thinking throughout the book -- it would be more fun not knowing. This is one where I advise you forget the descriptions and start reading. There are plenty of twists and turns in this one. Technically, I consider this novel Singer's best out of his first four. (I would say "Directed Verdict" is still my favorite because it touches on themes dear to my heart, but that is subjective.) I would recommend that you read this one. Now, I finally am ready to read a novel with one of my favorite titles: "The Judge Who Stole Christmas"! It will be interesting which characters show up in that one!
	Awesome, Awesome, Awesome  Sep 2, 2008
This is probably my favorite Randy Singer book thus far. I couldn't put it down. I took it to the beach on our vacation and finished it in a day. The storyline was terrific and the characters are so real. A great follow up to Directed Verdict.
	A Great Book  Oct 1, 2007
It is rare I can not walk away from a book. But this one was one that could not be put down until finished.
	Can't Get Into the First Person  Sep 7, 2007
I gave this book four stars because I enjoyed Singer's other books. Unfortunately, this one is difficult for me to get into for a couple of reasons. One, it is written in the first person. I have a hard time reading a book in the first person. Second, it is written from a woman's perspective -- I don't have a problem with that except, as a man, it is not easy to identify with the character. Therefore, I would caution readers who are looking for a story from Singer that is captivating like his other books.
	entertaining but comfortable  Sep 6, 2007
Randy SInger provides enteratining Christian legal thrillers, without the tawdry and sick material that permeates regurlar ficiton in this genre. I would recommend his novels to anyoen who likes legal trhillers, butis tired of the mainstream downward spiral into the evermoe disgusting.
