Brilliant. Literally this could be a one-word review and it would capture my complete thoughts on this work. Wilder has crafted a work that could resonate through the world of American Suspense Thrillers. From the start I felt I was reading John Grisham. The characters come at you hard and fast but with instant depth. You are brought into the terrifying world of Gabe McAllister who found himself wrongfully convicted of the most heinous crime. The group that came together to take on his cause and fight for justice for him was inspiring. From his Doctor to his Warden to his lawyer to the journalist…every character you cared for deeply. I was shocked, horrified, filled with fear, despair and dread. I was given to laughing out loud at the humor. There are romantic scenes that are touching with how true they feel. This author takes you on a journey that is a must read for everyone. I am really enjoying this series by Lin Wilder, for many reasons, one being that the reader does not necessarily have to read the series in order. “Do You Solemnly Swear” is another gripping courtroom drama, focused on a character Gabel McCallister, who is accused of molesting a child, which is the worst crime that can be committed, even by prison standards. He is beaten severely and winds up in the prison infirmary where he is tended to by another previously wrongly accused inmate, now the medical director Lindsay McCall. As the story plays out, familiar characters are brought back into the story, as well as new faces, who the reader hope will see again in future books. The storyline is similar and appealing to fans of John Grisham, and justice is served at the end. Most of the appeal of the story is in the character development of each of the new characters. Wow. Just wow. This book kept me on the edge of my seat with every passing page and Im pretty sure Lin Wilder has blown my mind. Do you Solemnly Swear is a book following the tale of Gabe McAllister who is accused of sexually abusing his ex girlfriends five year old daughter. A topic alone that will make your skin crawl, and the author skillfully crafts her words to twist your stomach in knots. Through the entire book she deals with not only this taboo subject, but the topic of how the justice system in America can fail you. So well written and researched, The legal drama and court procedures will intrigue and satisfy those with a taste for convoluted high-conflict plot, and characters are well-rounded and fully local to Houston, with Wilder cleverly spinning up the professional angles of journalism, medicine, legal, and military at every turn to give the story a unique feel. It’s not a push to imagine this highly female-led series making to a TV adaptation; something like The Closer would suit very well. Pertence a Série
What if your former girlfriend decides to use her 6-year-old daughter to punish you for breaking up with her? How do you prove that you are innocent of the worst case of sexual perversion against a child? Is it possible to refute the lies of a beautiful, seemingly innocent, little girl? When Gabe McAllister decorated former Marine and respected Texas State Trooper, walked out of his condo in west Houston on a Tuesday morning to head to a meeting of the newly formed task force of the DEA, Texas State Police, and Border Patrol, he found five Houston cops waiting to collar him for the rape of 6-year-old Annie Bridges. His next several days and weeks are a blur as he realizes belatedly that he has no chance against his diminutive accuser, his implicit trust in the fairness of the justice system shattered, McAllister lands in the Huntsville prison, sentenced to 3 counts of 20 to life sentences. In the sequel to The Fragrance Shed By A Violet, Lin Wilder embroils characters in another complex web of dysfunctional family, deceit, revenge and the politics of courtrooms. Pulitzer Prize reporter Kate Townsend¿s front page story for her newspaper, The Houston Tribune, about a juror¿the foreman of McAllister¿s jury¿stepping forward to speak about the case and her concern about why McAllister was not granted a retrial galvanizes Houstonians once again: Had a Houston jury convicted another innocent person? Dr. Lindsey McCall, former inmate at Huntsville and now Medical Director at the Prisons and Rich Jansen, Chief Warden at the prisons are faced with the all-too-familiar question of just how involved should they get as Townsend begins to dig into the background of little Annie Bridges and her mother. When Townsend reveals the details of her new investigative series: A Nation of Law: The Dark Side, Jansen is more than intrigued. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
