Customer Reviews

a real page turner

A very well written book. The pages seemed to turn themselves, and the end was...oh, I better not spoil it!!

Great Read!

This book is so good I swallowed it up! Great legal thriller. I haven't read one this good since The Firm-John Grissom. The book has everything from racial tension to political intrigue. I highly recommend this book and can hardly wait for another one from this author! Shirlz

Undertow

I also picked this book to fulfill a book club obligation. I finished it last night. Although I couldn't wait to see how it would end, I was sad for it to be over. Many twist and turns along the way. Excellent read, very John Grisham-like, his earlier books. Before I bought it, I looked for reviews and found none......hope more people read this one!

A Must Read!

Just happened to purchase this book to fufill a book club obligation and because the plot sounded interesting. Wow! What a surprise. This is the best book of it's kind that I've read since Grisham's "A Time To Kill". Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. I look forward to Sydney Bauer's next novel with great anticipation.

An awesome novel

I'm amazed that others haven't yet read and/or written about "The Undertow". I don't remember how I picked up this book but I'm sure glad I did. It's an exciting book about a tragedy involving the daughter of a prominent and somewhat sleezy politician(maybe that's a bit redundant) and his wife. The tragic accident happens in the opening chapter and the rest of the very large book is devoted to the legal aspects of planning a law suit and a trial that includes many very interesting issues including the "race card". There are twists and turns------the final one is one I didn't see coming. This was a page turner from the first page with surprises along the way to keep you interested. I lost a lot of sleep and housework didn't get done until the end of the story. And it was worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and hated to see it end. I hope this author continues to write this well. I wish her lots of success.
