THE BURNING MAN (Phillip Margolin) - February 13/12

This surprisingly entertaining legal thriller isn't exactly super well written, but it moves fast and contains a genuinely interesting case at its core. The main character does possess a few one-dimensional traits, but Margolin otherwise does a nice job of handling the supporting characters. (It's worth noting that the guy I was sure would be the killer wasn't, though he was just as sleazy as I assumed.) I'll definitely be checking out more of Margolin's work in the future. *** out of ****
