Have I EVER only given 3 stars to a Margolin book? I wonder if it was a case of expectations too high, or getting used to reading on a Kindle, or what...but this one just didn't do it for me. There was not nearly enough suspense, too much upcoming actions telegraphed etc. 
 I DID enjoy the stuff about the behind-the-scenes at the Supreme Court, and it was well done in many ways, but the characters were not believable...and the whole Lezak switch thing was too contrived. Whatever, I will still buy his next one...or at least read the reviews carefully!
