The author caputered the South Beach lifestyle quite accurately. It was an interesting suspense novel but it dragged on and on and on. Could say more with less words. Even though it was a good story, I'd be reluctant to read more of her work.
Hard to Put Down Thriller

I am a real Barbara Parker fan. Her newest book is not a disappointment. The story line is exciting and as intriguing as all of the "Suspicion of" novels. The twists and turns as well as exciting characters makes one call for more even when this particular story is through.
Great Legal Thriller

Anyone who likes intriguing characters, a plot full of twists and turns, and a tropical Miami setting should read Barbara Parker! Parker is a former Florida prosecutor; her protagonist in this novel is high power defense attorney C.J. Dunn, whose clients are not the only ones with skeletons in their closets. I enjoyed Parker's "Suspicion" series as well, and hope that she will write more books about C.J. Dunn. If you have enjoyed other legal thrillers, try reading The Dark of Day--it won't disappoint you.
Exciting Miami-based thriller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I won't repeat the basic storyline, which is already here in the book description. Instead, I'll just say that the book is a great read and hard to put down. It has a complex protagonist--a very successful defense lawyer, a recovering alcoholic with a secret past. It it set in Miami, and delves into the sordid side of the lives of that city's "beautiful people." It has a compromised politician, society high-rollers, an unscrupulous journalist, vulnerable young women seeking a piece of the action, and a shadowy client, who may or may not be guilty of murder. The author takes her protagonist on a suspenseful, roller-coaster ride, as C. J. Dunn tries to find the truth before she loses her reputation or even her life. Highly recommended, as are Parker's early books, also set in Miami, which featured attorneys Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana
