blogspot. ca I loved the witty dialogue between Rep and Melissa as well as other characters, Also appreciated the many fun Milwaukee references, A fun read. Five for the dialogue, but just one for the plotting and constructionthe numerous plot complications conceal some real flimsiness, and the speed of the plot is partly a reflection of the scantiness
of the background material in between the dialogue clips.
The reader isn't given all the information needed to follow and accept what's going on, much less guess at the circumstances behind the crime.
For instance, only two or three sentences are allotted for information about the actual murder, which isn't enough to make the rather oddball murder mechanism plausible, or even clear.
There's interesting color, especially on legal tactics, but with the poor construction, this is basically a "romp" novel, where one savors the moment and the wit, and that's all.
A fun read, though. I'll try some more of Bowen's books, and perhaps the others will be better, When a frat boy finds himself on trial in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for piracy on the high seas, Lawyer Rep Pennyworth, suspects heas being used as an unwitting accomplice in a cheap publicity stunt.
Meanwhile his wife Melissa, the professorhalf of the couple, gets caught in the middle of a verbal firefight between two colleagues at a literary conference that soon escalates into burglary, theft, jurytampering, forgery of an explosive papal document from World War IIaand murder.
