Cristina –
This one moved a little slower than usual, so it got 3 stars. But it was still a good read. I was pleased because I *knew* who did it…and then I got to the end and was proven wrong. This is why I like Martini’s books so much. I can’t always tell who the killer is and I like it because so often I have mysteries figured out in the first couple chapters. That gets boring. So Martini generally keeps me guessing.
Anyway, I thought it was a little slower than usual because there was so very little actual court time. I like the court scenes in Martini’s books the best. It’s fun to see Madriani really get on a roll. Harry Hinds is, as always, a fun sidekick kind of character, snarky and fiesty.
One thing that did bug me about this book, though–why the frak is it called The Jury? There was hardly any court time, no time at all with the jury or any one specific juror. None of the jurors were even mentioned by name. I just thought it was a weird title for a book that had nothing to do with a jury. Oh well! An anachronism.
