This book is the 4th in the Samantha Brinkman series and I highly recommend reading them in order. This one wasn't my favorite as it was hard to follow and I am not certain that all was resolved or tied together at the end but having said this, it's a good mystery and I like following the development of these characters. This author knows her subject matter and it shows in the realistic plot line. I would definitely read a 5th if she writes one. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced readers copy for review.

I have read several of Marcia Clark’s books and enjoyed them. This one failed to engage me. The plot was convoluted and in the end the outcome was unbelievable. The author also failed to tie all the story lines together into a cohesive whole. The original stock swindle deteriorated into a personal vendetta and hints of previous revenge murders. Also, the constant repetitions about lack of sleep, coffee drinking, driving and computer hacking gave the novel an underlying monotony I found tiresome and boring. Not her finest effort.

A page turner for sure... good for a a rainy cold afternoon to curl up and get lost. She tells a good tale and it reminds me of the stories my friends in the DA's office used to tell about their daily life, but at a faster pace.

Not like the usual lawyer book. Lots more of day-to-day “grunt work” of getting the job done. Sam does an excellent job of keeping all the plates spinning in what starts off as an investment scandal, but works its way through murder, rape, and revenge.

Final Judgment is the fourth book in the Samantha Brinkman legal thriller series. I can certainly see how this would appeal to another reader, but it simply wasn't to my taste what with the endless descriptions of blue scrunchies and the latest fashions.

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. It was a well written book. I hope to read more books by this author.
