I was very disappointed by a novel, “Motion to Kill,” that was heavily reviewed mostly in glowing terms. In fact, though I understand we all have diverse reading "likes" I was shocked at all the 5 point reviews and their expressions of "love" for this genuinely mediocre novel. This is a very quick read because there is nothing you can do but follow along while the somewhat childish protagonist, Lou Mason, who though in his early 30s, acts like a teenager with pimples. While Goldman may have a future, he needs some serious practice. Here's what I didn't like about Mr. Goldman's book: 1. Too many characters with too many roles--there was no way to figure out the storyline without Lou, the hero. 2. It took Lou and several other characters to tell me what was going on, since the narrative was convoluted and filled with too many deaths, characters, and a difficult, tortuous plot. 3. The conversations are stilted and unbelievable. People just don't talk like this. Its more written prose than dialogue. 4. I just finished the novel and I'm still not clear what the novel is really about. It certainly wasn't a thriller and it had no courtroom drama, both of which are hinted at in the title. 4. There was no way with all the players and activities ongoing to know who was doing what to whom; even though Lou is required to reveal it to us because no one would be able to follow the plot line without his assistance. 5. His relationship and dialogue with Kelly is so childish and doesn't merit a romp in bed, even if it was just lust, because that never entered the picture either. Kelly doesn't come across as a sympathy sex partner, so we're left with another "huh?" 6. Though Kelly is sometimes mature and likable, she can also lack empathy and become incomprehensible. 7. Though the novel did not garner my allegiance in any way, I kept waiting to find a character that I could get my arms around. I found no one to root for. 8. None of the characters were fleshed out; I think this is due to the sheer number. 9. I like my protagonist flawed but not so much that he needs serious therapy, which, as it turns out, most of the characters flashing throughout this story do. 10. I don’t enjoy a novel that has to be explained to me by the main character in long boring observations. I prefer novels where the plot is revealed in actions and direct observations On the plus side: 1. Mr. Goldman goes for some unchartered territory and perhaps pushes some buttons that we might possess but suppress. 2. It’s a quick read if you’re not constantly referring back to find out who the character under consideration is. 3. Mr. Goldman has potential and he likely could have had two novels within this one alone. 4. There were some great plot twists and surprises and you’ll never figure out who did what to whom without some assistance from the author and Lou Mason.

No way is this book in the same league as Lee Child and Michael Connelly, two of my favorite authors. And, yes, I gave Goldman a chance outside of this comparison, because I think every author deserves his own voice, but he just didn't pull it off. No grab-you-from-the-start-and-not-let-go story line, no great character development--Goldman tries too hard to make his hero sound trite, snarky, and flip, and it just falls flat--and poor writing; Goldman "tells" way too much. "Mason was surprised," "Mason doubted," "Mason worried," etc. The style of "non-showing" writing creates no emotional connection with a character, and so I didn't care about Mason's future. The story also didn't seem realistic right from the beginning. There seemed way too much interaction between Mason and Sheriff Kelly, considering law enforcement and lawyers are often natural adversaries...but mainly it felt like an info dump. Overall, I'm disappointed, and I only gave this book the 3 stars I did because I didn't finish it, and thought it deserved the benefit of the doubt.

The junior member of a prestige’s law firm rousted from his slumber on the beach finds himself at the center of a murder investigation. Bodies drop quickly in this twisting story of greed and betrayal as our hero unravels why he has become the killer’s next target. Troubled by a trail he lost and spurred on by his mother’s folksy wisdom he pulls on the threads of evidence. At times, the threads yield a nugget of truth, and sometimes the blazing guns of the killer’s henchmen. Laced with dry humor, and for the most part well paced, the climax seemed drawn out and a convoluted attempt to get out of a painted-in corner.

Corrupt law firms, attorneys, dirty clients and shady mobsters—Oh My! Answer me one question—what didn’t this novel have? What an exciting cast of characters wreaking all type of havoc on Kansas City. A very powerful and prominent attorney, Richard Sullivan, was found dead along the shore of a Missouri Lake. How convenient of all places for his body to come up while the law firm was trying to enjoy a relaxing weekend of golf and seminars at their retreat. The nerve of this guy to come up dead, some thought! Lou Mason, also an attorney working at this law firm, had too many questions and not enough answers, but one thing will become very clear to the reader, Lou was not one to mess around with. When you get right down to it, he was the man you’d want on your side. Partners were dropping dead at every turn and Lou could not figure out why? As you journey with him, it soon becomes apparent that there are some very shady dealings being dealt under the guise of “client work” being performed. Oh, to be sure, there was plenty of work being done, but none of it had to do with the law. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I absolutely loved this book! It was Law & Order meets The Sopranos. I could one hundred percent see this as a motion picture. In fact, I’m shocked it hasn’t been contracted to be one. Lou Mason was one tough cookie! He didn’t stop until he had the answers he was seeking and he had a way of making people talk! Oh yes, this is my type of legal thriller. It gives the reader the ride of your reading life, and that’s what entertaining books are supposed to do, and this one did it! Awesome read!
