Measuring Lives: A Thriller

How this brilliant author was able to take such an arcane and lackluster legal issue and turn it into the topic of an exciting legal thriller, I don't know! But I greatly enjoyed watching him do it! His characters were artfully developed (Cynthia was a hoot!) and left me wanting to read more about them. While Grishamesque is not typically my favorite literary style, this first work by this neophyte shows real talent. I can't wait to see what else Foley comes up with!

Foley has found a obscure legal angle and turned it into a real page turner. It moves at a fast pace and keeps the reader trying to get in 'one more chapter' before you put it down for the night. As a first effort it is strong. I look forward to more from this new author.

I was given this book when I was reading another book. I was told that I would love it, put down the book I was reading and read Measuring Lives immediately. The story line grabbed me from the first page. Foley put enough twist and turns in the plot to get my head spinning. Every time I thought I was on the right track the story changed directions. Parts of the book seemed to be a little far fetched, but they still kept me on the edge of my seat. Any supsense lover should read this book, they will not regret it.
