Criminal Intent (Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Legal Thriller Book 3)
£3.80
You can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your family. And lately, Mike Daley’s family has been keeping him very busy.
An ex-priest, ex-public defender, and ex-corporate lawyer, Daley and his former wife, Rosie Fernandez, now run their own San Francisco criminal defense firm.
Most of their cases are fairly small-time, which is why it would be surprising that the person accused of murdering movie director Richard (Big Dick) MacArthur is calling them. But things get personal when the accused is Rosie’s own niece, Angelina.
And the family drama doesn’t end there.
Rosie’s brother, Tony, may be on the wrong end of a strong-arm graft proposal.
The son of one of the firm’s lawyers has just been busted on a drug charge.
Mike is having a clandestine affair with a woman judge.
And Rosie herself has a dark secret that may make all of it seem irrelevant.
An intricate plot, immensely likeable characters, powerful suspense, and more than a touch of humor-these are Siegel’s hallmarks. CRIMINAL INTENT will keep you turning pages until its final, surprising end.
CRIMINAL INTENT is book 3 in the NY Times and Amazon bestselling legal thriller series featuring Mike Daley & Rosie Fernandez.

This series is OK plot-wise. But the characterisation is cliched. Everyone is handsome or pretty, everyone is politically correct, all the lovey-dovey and “children/baby” stuff is Mills and Boon and enough to turn your stomach at times.
The series is a weird mix of detective and chick-lit that can’t seem to make up its mind what it wants to be. I didn’t enjoy the series after book 2 or 3. My wife loves it. Take what you like from that, if there is anything to take.

Just started reding the ‘private’ series, and I’m already a fan of Mike & Rosie. I love a series that allows us to get involved in the ongoing private lives of the main characters. As well as realistic crime investigations, we get an insight into the personal lives of the lawyers, pi’s and a variety of linked characters. Really pleased I’ve got lots more of this series to enjoy!

Have read 3 of the book’s in this series and cannot wait to read the next one, again lot’s of twists and turns
by Barrie Wilson
Brilliantly well-paced and a true page-turner. Mr. Siegel is a master story-teller whose characters jump out of the pages; so utterly believable and suspenseful.
I first “found” Mr. Siegel about 6 months ago and I am making my way through all of his novels in order. I find them to be intelligent and amongst the best I have read….and believe me, I have read thousands of books in my time !
The final chapter of this novel had me shed a tear or two for Mike and Rosie. It is so well written !! If you ever get to read this review Mr. Siegel I plead with you to keep the story of Mike and Rosie and Grace continuing from one novel to the next ad infinitum….please!

This third book in the series is so disappointing. The constant boring nonsense about mike’s love life was just too much for me. Such a pity as the first two books were quite enjoyable but it seemed as if this was an attempt to get the last bit of blood out of a stone.

I am so happy to have found Mr. Siegel, as I am working my way through his books in order. They are intelligent, interesting, fast moving, and his characters are people you feel you know.
Excellent.

The story was compelling and kept you guessing. I really wanted to see how the court case would end!
by Mrs Wendy J Pollard
This is the third book I have read in the series and I’m disappointed that it follows exactly the same format as the previous two but just a different victim and defendant. The story was predicable and a bit disappointing.
