Home is the place...........
......that, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. We have come to have high expectations of Sheldon. We should....he always meets them.

Family matters...Mike and Rosie have to fathom the depth of their relationship with each other, and with their extended ...

Save this book for a time when you can read it straight through
It's definitely a book that's hard to put down, although the writing style is such that despite the length, it's a quick read. The plot involves a priest who is accused of murdering a woman he was counseling -- the woman in fact was his girlfriend before seminary. His friend, a former priest now an attorney, and his friend's partner and ex-wife take on his defense, against the wishes of the ...

An interesting approach to differential equations
I read the preceding reviews and don't find what was said untrue. The simplicity and algorithmically solved problems, however, belie the sophisticated look at functions. My students found the work with difference equations difficult because of the symbolic manipulation, but their teacher (me), appreciated how the text took the idea of derivatives, reduced this concept into a discrete function, ...

Leon is dying and doesn't ...

Worth The Wait!
A book by Sheldon Siegel featuring Michael Daley and Rosie Fernandez is worth the wait. The plot has been covered in other reviews so I will just say I've read all of Mr. Siegel's books and would rate each with 5 stars. I'm sure I will re-read them all one day.

SHALL WE KILL ALL THE LAWYERS?
One of the most intriguing aspects of this book is that the author was one of the lawyers in the firm in San francisco in which a gunman opened fire in the late 80's (could be incorrect on the date). The book concerns a large law firm in which two lawyers are murdered or is it murder/suicide. Mike Daley, ex-priest, ex-public defender, ex-husband and as of yesterday ex-partner sets up his own ...

You don't have to like your client.........
......but you do have to do right by them. Doctors and lawyers don't always like the people who come to them for help. [That's true. Promise.] Hopefully, we all do the right thing, and, don't worry, Mike and Rosie do. I won't ruin this for you, but the client here is a real prize, and his daughter is even worse. The victim is not especially sympathetic, either. No murder victim can be said ...
