Let me begin by saying that I am not the target audience for this book.
While I’ve read my share of Tom Clancy and David Baldacci, plots that involve espionage, government cover-ups, and global terrorism aren’t really my thing. I had never before read a work by Robert K. Tanenbaum, so I was unaware of the Butch Karp-Marlene Ciampi series – Infamy is the twenty-eighth book starring the characters – but I do enjoy a good courtroom thriller.
I know firsthand how difficult writing fiction can be and, moreover, how unlikely it is to become a bestselling author, but this was simply not a good book. To be honest, I had to prevent myself from throwing it across the room a few times.
Still, it is not without its strengths.
The pages fly by. This is a perfect book to read on the plane or the train or the beach. The pace is breakneck and the chapters are short and easily digestible, so it’s a quick read.
Also, Tanenbaum knows how to write a strong court
