Book Review & Giveaway: Supreme Justice

**This giveaway is now closed. Thank you very much for your entries.**

**Congratulations to Camels and Chocolates!**

Supreme Justice is a novel by author Phillip Margolin who has written fourteen New York Times bestsellers, including Fugitive and Executive Privilege.

From Harper Collins:

Sarah Woodruff, on death row in Oregon for murdering her lover, John Finley, has appealed her case to the Supreme Court just when a prominent justice resigns, leaving a vacancy.

Then, for no apparent reason, another justice is mysteriously attacked. Dana Cutler—one of the heroes from Margolin’s bestselling Executive Privilege—is quietly called in to investigate. She looks for links between the Woodruff appeal and the ominous incidents in the justices’ chambers, which eventually lead her to a shoot-out that took place years ago on a small freighter docked upriver in Shelby, Oregon, containing a dead crew and illegal drugs. The only survivor on board? John Finley.

I’ve always loved suspense novels, starting from the days when I read my first Sidney Sheldon novel so I was excited to read this book. It has a good plot and it started with an exciting chapter like some political or espionage thriller but somewhere along the way, I lost my interest.

The difficult part of the book is I think, would be, remembering all the characters. There are plenty and I found myself turning back pages to see who’s who and what he/she is up to. Or you could blame it to the late night reading – I read in bed in the wee hours of the night so that could be the reason. Also, this book is a sequel to Margolin’s book, Executive Privilege so it was a challenge for me to understand the innuendos and references to the previous work to be able to fully understand and appreciate the current one.

In short, it did serve my quench for a suspense novel, something I didn’t have for quite a while now but it didn’t leave me wanting for more. I’d like to know how you think of it!
