Customer Reviews

A Wonderful Collection!

A great collection of legal tales by fine writers of the genre. I enjoyed each story and recommend this as a nice book to curl up for some delicious mysteries!From R. Barri Flowers, the author of the legal thrillers, DAMNING EVIDENCE, POSITIVE I.D., and JUSTICE SERVED.

A stunning anthology

This collection of thirteen short stories centers on female attorneys as the stars of each tale working a wide variety of cases in diverse settings that run the sub-genre's gamut. The authors are a who's who of the legal procedural sub-genre and though mostly female, not totally. Each contributor insured that the tale was top quality (or perhaps the editor separated the chaff from the wheat) and fun to read regardless of the gender of the audience. Some of the lead characters are so good, readers will hope to see them reappear in a full-length novel. WOMEN BEFORE THE BENCH shows we've come a long way in the law and literature. Harriet Klausner
