Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about a reference material.
Do you keep reference books on your shelves at home? What’s your first port of call when you need information – the internet or a book?
  99% of the time it is Google.  I do, however, have a very old dictionary for those rare times that a computer is not booted up.  I remember as a child when my parents purchased “The Encyclopedia Britannica” and feeling lucky to have all that knowledge in the house at our finger tips instead of having to go to the library.

False Convictions by Tim Green (Rating 4)
Grand Central Publishing
ISBN 978-0-446-40152-4
At the request of The Hachette Book Group, a HC copy was sent, at no cost to me, for my honest opinion.
  Synopsis: (from the book jacket) Tormented by death threats and assassination attempts, Casey investigates a prosecution apparently rife with lies. From the judge, the lawyers. the jury, to the police, she traces a web of corruption surrounding the destruction of one young man. But in all the chaos, Casey’s hardest challenge may be just staying alive.

  My Thoughts: Casey Jordan, Texas attorney, beautiful and famous since having had a movie made about her and a recent case that she won. Enter Robert Graham, handsome, philanthropist and founder of the Freedom Project. The offer is one million dollars for her firm and all she is to do is exonerate 2 felons, within a year, who have been convicted wrongly. Sounds easy enough! But as she obtains details for her first case, of a man who has been locked up for twenty years, unsavory facts are surfacing, and not about her client. How do politicians, judges, police officers and even the “mob” tie in to this old case? How is it that she is arrested for falsifying evidence? And is Robert Graham really who he says he is?

  My Opinion and Rating: This was the first book by this author that I read from a long list of previous novels. I personally enjoy when a book has chapters that are just a few pages. I find myself thinking “just one more chapter” and read the next 7 or 8, and this book was just that. The suspense was gripping, and at times, fast paced. The characters were intriguing and came to life with the author’s writing style. The ending left this reader quite disappointed though. The book was thrilling until the seemingly unrealistic finale. However, I gave this book a rating of 4 stars for the overall riveting plot.

DISCLAIMER
I received a copy of this book, at no charge to me,
in exchange for my HONEST review.
No items that I receive
are ever sold…they are kept by me,
or given to family or friends.

Want to say thank you to all that stop by and visit and to wish you a very special ……..

  Did everyone watch the Opening Day of the 2010 Olympics?  Did you enjoy?  Because I am a morning person, I tried very hard to watch but sleep took over.  So, unfortunately, I missed most of it. 
  Sorry this is being posted later than usual but having some computer problems again.  Hubby is trying to figure it out so this will be a quick post.  Am hoping to be back on later today and have it running smoothly.  Have another review to write and enter.
  So until then……

Have a great Saturday…..RELAX and READ !!
