False Witness - Phillip Margolin
Pub. Date: Nov. 11, 2025
She read
Attorney Karen Wyatt was framed by crooked police officers and a DA and imprisoned. After exposing the corruption, she was exonerated, won a huge settlement and has returned to practicing law. She takes on the case of a man accused of stealing a Jaguar and killing the owner. Is he guilty or was it a set up? Then there is the congressman who went missing and claimed to have been abducted by aliens, financial shenanigans by the murder victim, a desperado motorcycle Gang, and it seems there is still corruption within the DAs office.
Over four decades since his debut novel, Phillip Margolin continues to captivate readers with his storytelling. This mystery/crime story/legal thriller has a plot that moves along at a brisk pace that keeps the reader engaged. Initially, multiple storylines appear to diverge, but Margolin skillfully weaves them together by the end.
While I’m uncertain if this will be a new series to accompany Margolin’s popular Robin Lockwood series, I do like the character of Karen, particularly her sense of fairness and justice, as well as her intelligence. I also enjoyed her investigator, Morris, a former police officer.
Thanks to @NetGalley and @StMartinsPress @Minotaur_Books for the DRC.
