By James L. Buckley
Capital Murder is a fine read. The court scenes and cross examinations are excellent and provide a good taste of the criminal justice system in action. Because of its insights into local procedures and locales, it should be of particular interest to Connecticut readers.

5A Great Read  Jan 06, 2010
By Knitting Maven
This is a great read. There were large parts where I couldn't put it down! The author's obvious familiarity with all phases of the court system make the reader feel as if he is part of the inner circle. The characters are real people and you care about them. I hope there will be more books about Becky Brown & her activities
