Reviews
Lying in Judgment is a very unique book and the plot is really original. ... I really loved how the author, Gary Corbin, started the book off with action happening right away. ... It's also fast-paced and has shorter chapters, making the book hard to put down. Corbin does a fantastic job of really depicting how Peter's guilt is eating away at him and you will often squirm with Peter during the tense scenes. It also appeared to me, the court room scenes seemed accurate and realistic as far as dialogue and court proceedings go. There are many twists and turns and the ending may very well be the best part of the whole book. Lying in Judgement in a must-read, you will not regret it!
Lying in Judgment reads at a fast pace—a good thing since I was anxious to see what would happen next. The trial was well done and descriptive. When court was not in session it was equally suspenseful... Unexpected witnesses, A contentious mix of jurors. Lying, from within the courtroom and out. “Cheating and deception” (words Peter himself uses) in every corner. All combine into a very entertaining suspense...I’ll be reading more written by Mr. Corbin.
