Customer Reviews

Brilliant story!

Fascinating! One of the most gripping stories I have ever read. It combines a classic whodunnit plot with a family drama. It can be a cold and rigid courtroom battle or a moving tale of love and devotion. The story is told in the first person viewpoint and provides an insight into the psyche of a man whose life is torn apart. It has the reader aching for this man, while at the same time wondering whether he is rightly accused! Ethics, the law, technical stuff, family love, tragedy and the pursuit of personal agendas are matters that blend together and create this masterpiece of suspense with feelings... an unusual combination. The hero's turmoil becomes your own as you read this book and stays with you long after you finish it. This book tests the reader, presenting in it intellectual puzzles and ethical challenges. It is truly an amazing story. I'd reccommend it to anyone who likes to read books with exciting plots and also meaning.

Reckless Homicide

AMAZING! That is the word I would use to describe this first time novel. It held me captive from the first word...I sat up all night to find out what was going to happen. I was pleased to see that the main characters faced as many trials, family deaths, etc. as I seem to. And the phrase my parent's taught me in kindergarden came to mind 'Be Sure Your Sins Will Find You Out' certainly came true... One Lie. Again, BRAVO...and PLEASE tell me when the next novel is out!

A Home Run In His First Time At Bat!

In Reckless Homicide, first-time novelist, Ira Genberg, has written a legal thriller that is at least as good as--and possibly better than--the best of Grisham, Turow, J.F. Freedman, et al. The plot never wanes in its excitement, the characters are very interesting and well-developed, the dialog rings true, and surprises pop up throughout the story. Be ready to be glued to your seat once you start this book!

Best legal thriller since Scott Turow

Excellent writing. The tension makes it unbearable to put the book down! I can only hope the next book by this author comes out soon!

TREMENDOUS! - GREAT DEBUT

I was looking for a new book and took a chance on 'Reckless Homide'. I'm very glad I did. Ira Genberg will be as popular as Grisham if he keeps this up. I really enjoyed the trial. Ira did a great job explaining the legalese and what the characters were thinking. Isabel Castino and Diana Wells were great characters. I was surprised that the jurors didn't get more attention in the story. But it worked. I'm glad he didn't leave us hanging with: "The up and down is stewed". If you enjoy legal thrillers - you'll love this book. Ira, please give us more!
