(5) = Best; (4) = Better; (3) = Good; (2) = Fair; (1) = OK

These abstracts serve as reminders to myself; they serve to "jog" my memory on what a book was all about. That's all. This is not a literary critique, not a social commentary, and certainly nothing profound to warrant further discussion.

(5) = means that I really enjoyed this book; (1) = means I finished reading it but wonder if my time could have been better spent elsewhere.

Ty Buchanon is living on the peaceful grounds of St. Monica’s far away from the glamorous life he led as a rising trial lawyer for a big L.A. law firm. He found his previous ambitions unrewarding. Now he prefers offering legal services to the poor and under represented from his “office’ at a local coffee bar. His first client is a mysterious woman who arrives with her six-year old daughter…he’s going to fight for the woman’s rights. But then she ends up dead…and the mystery continues. This was interesting book. Well written. The author kept me on the edge of my lounge chair. (4)
