DESCRIPTION:
From the author of the number-one best-seller, The Good Lawyer. Nick Mannino, The Good Lawyer, is living off the ill-gotten gains of his deceased mobster uncle, when, without warning, a brutal serial killer turns on him, and worse, his family. #1 CRIME FICTION BESTSELLER!Inspired by real crimes. A serial killer is littering the South Shore beach of Long Island - the bones of his victims stuffed into burlap bags. As much a thriller as it is a mystery, with an ending as riveting as that in Silence of the Lambs, The Criminal Lawyer is also a love story, a novel of family secrets, and crimes beyond forgiveness.
KIRKUS REVIEW: "In the end (we) eventually confront the killer in a scene that's relentless in its ferocityWisely, Benigno doesn't save every twist until the end; indeed, one or two happen early on, and even when the case seems all but resolved, there are still a couple of doozies to comein this surprising thriller."
"Couldn't put it down" according to CrissTheTealCat. I loved The Good Lawyer (first book in the series) so much that I followed the author on Facebook, in hopes to find out what he was working on and be able to get it when it comes out. When the pre-order link was posted, I bought the book. At first I was disappointed that this book was set so many years in the future from the original, but I quickly got into the story and quit comparing the two. The story is well written, compelling, disturbing, and a good read. Poetic at times, but still hard boiled. Thoughtful, but moves at a good pace. I only found two or three typos. I gave it a four becaus. American Express said Page Turner for Sure!. Second book of this author that I have read (actually still reading it!). Neat plot line with lots of surprises. Characters are believable and transparent also. Benigno looks like a really good writer and should draw a lot of Grisham's readers since Grisham has really lost a lot of his good writing seen in his earlier books. Serial killer books have a lot of similarity with their gruesome, horrific descriptions of their crimes and the usual pursuit by the lawyers and law officials trying to find them. Worth your time to read Benigno's books if you like mystery fiction (based on true cases!).. Barb in MI said One of the Great authors!. I have to agree with some other reviewers, we want more books! I read his first book and immediately bought the second. Very hard to put his books down. The story line is well developed and hold you through the entire book. Thank you for these "One of the Great authors!" according to Barb in MI. I have to agree with some other reviewers, we want more books! I read his first book and immediately bought the second.
