3 1/2 Stars -- Not Among Margolin's Best But Still Good! June 5, 2008
bobbewig (New Jersey, USA)
Ties That Bind features lawyer Amanda Jaffe -- returning from her harrowing experience in Wild Justice -- to take on a case that no one will take. The plot revolves around the owner of an upscale call-girl service accused of murdering a U.S. Senator, and of his claiming to have proof of the existence of a secret society of powerful men who have banded together for a commonly held political agenda. In typical Margolin style, the plot moves at a brisk pace and is laced with several twists and turns that will keep you guessing about what is to happen next. Unlike Margolin's earlier expertise, however, in creating multidimensional characters that you really care about, I found Amanda Jaffe to be a little boring and without a lot of depth; with the latter also being how I felt about many of the other characters in Ties That Bind. Having stated this criticism, Margolin's books are always fun to read and keep the pages flying through your fingers. If you are in the mood for a fast-paced book in which you can easily lose yourself, Ties That Bind is one you should consider. While it is not as good as many of Margolin's earlier books (such as Gone, But Not Forgottern, After Dark, Heartstone and The Last Innocent Man), Ties That Bind is a book I think you will enjoy.

Few authors write with the clarity and pace to equal Margolin, his prose positively purrs with ruthless efficiency. Lean, relentless, and intrically plotted, his lethal thrillers expose the likes of John Grisham as the plodding bores they are. Always a joy, even when Margolin looks like he's going to cop out with a nice, neat happy ending, he still manges to slip in a little grit, managing to maintain something that is quite wonderful. Smart, sharp, and lethal.
