Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Gone, But Not Forgotten rocketed Phillip Margolin into the select company of million-selling novelists. Here he displays again the same genius for best-selling suspense in another intricate, breathtaking thriller of multiple murder in the legal community of the Pacific Northwest.

Laura Rizzati, a law clerk for Oregon Supreme Court Justice Robert Griffen, is found slain late one night in the deserted courthouse. Her office is ransacked—but nothing seems to be missing. There are no suspects and no clues.

The following month Griffen himself is killed by a car bomb in the driveway of his Portland home. This time, though, there is a suspect: in a shocking turn of events, Abigail Griffen, star prosecutor in the Multnomah County District Attorney's office and estranged wife of Justice Griffen, is charged with first degree murder.

With the same gripping suspense that drove Gone, But Not Forgotten onto the bestseller lists, this is a complex legalthriller with a truly startling ending.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Masterfully Told Mystery
Afer Dark, by Phillip Margolin, is the best mystery/thriller I've ever read (and believe me I've read many). To me the evaluation of how good a book is can be determined in how long it takes one to read it. I read After Dark in less than two days. It is a masterful work of penmanship with a twisted plot that keeps you reading to see whodunit, but the plot is so intricately woven, you never can decide what the resolution will turn out to be. Publishers Weekly called Margolin's style "whiplash plotting", ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Another fantastic Margolin novel
If you are a fan of legal thrillers, you can't do better than Phillip Margolin. His novels are as tightly and cleanly written as John Grisham, but he has an edge that Grisham lacks. Margolin has a gift for creating unique, three-dimensional characters, and his "bad guys" are truly frightening sociopaths. "After Dark" is no exception to this; it is taut and riveting, and there are some brilliant plot twists that you will NOT see coming.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - muy bueno!
Otra vez nos cautiva!
Una manera tan ligera, practica y afilada de manejar los terminos legales y los enfrentamientos en corte muy tipico y fascinante del autor.

Claro, se trata de descubrir y quien mato a quien? ..... Pero.... Como de costumbre y aparte cuando no es la primera vez que lo lees a este amigo sabes que TodO puede pasar... asi que debes de leerlo con el cerebro bien oxigenado para mantener la alerta...

Aqui nos comparte la historia de una serie de crimenes, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great author!
I love this author. His stories are full of twists and will keep you guessing! One of my top 3 authors! Wish he would write a book every month!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good, but...
Now, don't get me wrong - this book has more good things going for it than bad, but the whole thing just seems a bit off to me. There is a lack of focus, for one thing. Whose story is it? Tracy's? Abigail's? Matthews? Charlie's? I also figured it out about 1/3 of the way through the book but I was written well enough that I gladly stuck it out to see if I was right. (I was, but my theory about the motive was a tad bit off). This is not Margolin's best work ('The Burning Man' gets that honor) but it is ... Read More
