Recensione:

'Compulsive... This round to Brad Meltzer - 4 stars'
Mail on Sunday

'This law graduate author brings a dynamic new voice to a new area of legal thriller territory... A fresh, sharp narrative with engaging characters and an intelligent plot - a great fiction debut that stands out among legal thrillers'
South Wales Argus

'A firecracker of a debut novel... In a plot scattered with deception, trauma and more twists than a corkscrew, The Tenth Justice singles Brad Meltzer out as the most talented legal writer since John Grisham'
Peterborough Evening Telegraph

'Meltzer's plot is well thought out, with a particularly vivid climax'
The Sunday Times

'A well-crafted, wisecracking thriller. The characters are credible and likeable and the insight into the workings of the American legal system is intriguing. This will appeal to a more twentysomething readership than Grisham's latest offerings which have - quite frankly - gone seriously off the boil. Watch out John, Brad Meltzer has just arrived'
U Magazine

'Brad Meltzer brings a dynamic new voice to the legal thriller, the first since John Grisham, in an explosive debut that will definitely change your views of this genre. With a sharp-witted dialogue and edge-of-your-seat suspense, The Tenth Justice will keep you reading into the night'
Goldlife Magazine

'Grisham had better beware, for there's a new kid on the block. In The Tenth Justice young Brad Meltzer - all of 26 - has formulated a thriller that fairly crackles, having pace, confidence and velocity-charged story-telling'
The Irish Times

'Hugely enjoyable'
Hartlepool Mail

'Sure-footed and savvy... a densely plotted thriller oozing class and intelligence... Meltzer has it in spades. Remember his name - this guy is going to be the next John Grisham and he's going to be huge'
Examiner (Ireland)

'A cracking read up there in the realms of Grisham'
