Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I just read a terrific legal thriller by Steve Cavanaugh, "Plea".  It was like riding a roller coaster, and I had trouble putting it down, except I didn't want it to end.  It was super twisty, and with lots of juicy courtroom scenes.  The protagonist, Eddie Flynn, is unlikeable at the beginning, but grows on you as the book barrels along.  The characters are all fully fleshed out and interesting, and the underbelly of the issues is how plea bargaining has become unjust to the defendants.  The plot keeps pullling the rug out from under the reader.  Tricky!  Now I have to read an ordinary book, doggone it.  Luckily, I have a stack of those by my bed, and one of them just might turn out to be as riveting.  But I doubt it.
