I normally enjoy Police procedural/legal mysteries however, this one, even though I've read the previous books in the serious, has just gotten a bit too difficult to handle with the aged scenarios - computer, technology not as up-to-date as today's society. Also the subject of child-sex rings and cult killings was very hard tohandle.

This book is quite romp right from the beginning. Tanenbaum really knows how to weave a good tale with impressive characters. Well written, entertaining, and good to the last drop.

I've long been a fan of Robert K. Tanenbaum's excellent legal thriller series starring Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi, but somehow missed the early books. Just took in the first 3 - No Lesser Plea, Depraved Indifference and Immoral Certainty.

We watch their relationship develop in these early books and also see their early interactions with other lead characters in this long running series. Marlene is pregnant in Immoral Certainty but that doesn't slow down her quest for justice for the murder of a small girl.

Though this wasn't my favorite book in the series, I'll read anything by this author.

This legal thriller is part of a series featuring Prosecutor Butch Karp . This takes place back in the 70's and in this story there is someone killing children and the press have dubbed him the Bogeyman. This book was scripted really well and I especially enjoyed the interaction of the characters. I would recommend this to fans of legal thrillers and I will add this author to my watch list.

The Mr. Tanenbaum I have gotten to become familiar with is starting to emerge in this book. Butch and Marlene make both a great working couple as well as a couple. Marlene brings out the best in Butch. She also brings out the frisky side of him as well. Yet, when he is helping to investigate a case or in the courtroom, he is all business. That is what I did miss in this book is the big courtroom drama.

This time though, I got to see more of the human side of Marlene. It was refreshing. Yet, I did find Butch to be more on point this time with the investigation. Speaking of the murders. They were gruesome and there was one scene that was really kind of horrific in nature involving a child. So, if you can't handle gruesome than this book may not be for you. A good read none the less.

From the Mafia, to the horrors of child abuse, our Karp-Ciampi legal duo continue to fight to bring the bad guys to trial and to find justice for their victims. Read my review herehttps://journalingonpaper.com/2017/01/06/book-review-immoral-certainty-by-robert-tanenbaum/
