The Last Plea Bargain

I have read several of Randy Singer's books, but "The last plea bargain" wasn't one of my favorites. There seemed to be so many different angles all going on at the same time. Keeping straight who did what and why it was part of the big picture, seemed too much at times. It was full of intrigue and who done its. Between the crisis in the court system when Caleb Tate masterminds a no plea deal with prisoners, the unsolved murder of Rikki, the questionable guilt of Antoine, the suspicion of who to trust in the DA'a office, the underhanded dealings of Mace, and the struggles of Jamie, the book kept you guessing. There was an unexpected ending. But even in that the epilogue had 2 time frames. It felt like we ran out of book and still hadn't pulled together the loose strings, so an epilogue with two months, and one month later was needed.

I enjoyed the fact that Jamie Brock's black and white view of justice was challenged. She was faced with decisions that made her rethink her whole life. She had a crisis of faith, so to speak, when she realized her faith wasn't really what it should have been. She wasn't giving grace and mercy the way she expected it from God.
