Way too liberal. And since when is a Judge a detective? why can't this author stick to the courtroom. This book started out in the courtroom (which is exactly what I was looking for; courtroom drama) but quickly became a one woman detective taking on a Russian Olegard! PLEASE. Give me a break. So bad I couldn't even finish it.

Judgment starts out a little slow for my taste, but it gradually builds in momentum until I felt like I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. If you're looking for realism in your thriller, this probably isn't it with its convoluted and high reaching conspiracy. In fact, I lost track of the number of times I caught myself rolling my eyes at the many ways Juliana finds to get into more and more danger, not to mention the number of laws she breaks in the process. Nevertheless, the pacing and writing style kept me turning those pages. I wanted that next bit of crazy that had become this woman's life, and I had to see how the author was going to get her out of this corner he had painted her into. So, convoluted, yes. Over the top, definitely. But it's also full of terrific characters, good and bad, and held my interest til the very last page.
