• Another Fantastic Margolin Novel 14 April, 2008
If you are a fan of legal thrillers, you can't do better than Phillip Margolin. His novels are as tightly and cleanly written as John Grisham, but he has an edge that Grisham lacks. Margolin has a gift for creating unique, three-dimensional characters, and his "bad guys" are truly frightening sociopaths. "After Dark" is no exception to this; it is taut and riveting, and there are some brilliant plot twists that you will NOT see coming.

• Good, But... 28 November, 2004
Now, don't get me wrong - this book has more good things going for it than bad, but the whole thing just seems a bit off to me. There is a lack of focus, for one thing. Whose story is it? Tracy's? Abigail's? Matthews? Charlie's? I also figured it out about 1/3 of the way through the book but I was written well enough that I gladly stuck it out to see if I was right. (I was, but my theory about the motive was a tad bit off). This is not Margolin's best work ('The Burning Man' gets that honor) but it is a good enough read for a long holiday weekend.

• Muy Bueno! 16 May, 2007
Otra vez nos cautiva!
Una manera tan ligera, practica y afilada de manejar los terminos legales y los enfrentamientos en corte muy tipico y fascinante del autor.
Claro, se trata de descubrir y quien mato a quien? ..... Pero.... Como de costumbre y aparte cuando no es la primera vez que lo lees a este amigo sabes que TodO puede pasar... asi que debes de leerlo con el cerebro bien oxigenado para mantener la alerta...
Aqui nos comparte la historia de una serie de crimenes, de un grupo de abogados muy agiles, otros que se dejan llevar por sus propios intereses, practicantes que pueden llegar a superar al maestro...
Y lo mas importante que tanto puedes perder la razon por el amor? o sera obsesion?
Huy! maravilloso!
Te lo recomiendo

• A Masterfully Told Mystery 25 July, 2008
Afer Dark, by Phillip Margolin, is the best mystery/thriller I've ever read (and believe me I've read many). To me the evaluation of how good a book is can be determined in how long it takes one to read it. I read After Dark in less than two days. It is a masterful work of penmanship with a twisted plot that keeps you reading to see whodunit, but the plot is so intricately woven, you never can decide what the resolution will turn out to be. Publishers Weekly called Margolin's style "whiplash plotting", which is an excellent description. This was a complicated story with a great deal of legalese that could only be done through Margolin's background as an attorney. If you are a mystery/thriller buff like me, then read this book. I think it was wonderful.
