O Magazine was right

Oprah was right. This is a story of a strong woman in a corrupt world who still possesses the idealism to fight back. I found the book to be well written and a very enlightening read. I am ordering several copies for my neices to read. I think Jeanne Boylan is an excellent role model for teenagers.

All The Right Stuff

"Portraits of Guilt" is like a buffet of literature. It has comedy, it has reality, it makes you cry, makes you ponder, forces your eyes open to the inside world of police. I read a great deal, but I seldom experience the gambit of emotion and the new insights into a world other than my own, as intensely as I did in this book. I highly recommend it to all ages and all interests. It has something for everyone and a lot for the discerning reader. Leaves you satisfied.

Happy Not To Be Her

I was exhausted after reading this book! I felt so much compassion for Jeanne Boylan and her struggles. Many of the police she works with are resentful of her expertise, her peers are cruel and jealous, and her own husband finds her success as something that outshines his own. Yet this woman cannot give up the fight for justice. The obstacles in her path are like a minefield but in the interest of helping others, she takes step after step, putting her own welfare aside in favor of doing the right thing. I would never trade her places, but then, I am not made of the substance this woman is. My hat is off to her and anything ever happens to someone I love, I hope she will be there for me as well. I felt smaller after I read this story, but also thankful for people out there like this author.

Not So Easy to Please

I am an English professor and I tend to me very hard on authors, always looking for some way to correct. What was interesting about this book, was the story transported me out of my professor mode and into that of an extremely absorbed reader, walking by the side of this author through her amazing trials and tribulations. For that, I give it the highest marks. Boylan made me forget my own profession and instead took me on an eye opening journey deep inside of hers. I learned so much from "Portraits of Guilt" and would recommend it to others with vigor.

Oprah Inspired

We found this author's article in Oprah Magazine and so trust Oprah to provide us with strong woman characters that we decided to order this book as a club. Nine of the ten of us have already given it to friends and family to read. It is unusually written, fast paced and flows beautifully, but what I loved was the authenticity. It felt like I was reading a work of fiction because it reads like a well written novel, yet I was learning all about real life national cases along the way. Put simply, I felt it was an excellent use of my rare discretionary time.
