Book Review: Guardian of Lies

Guardian of Lies by Steve Martini

This was my first Steve Martini book in about 10 years, featuring attorney Paul Madriani. This time around Paul meets a young woman in a grocery store and gets mixed up in a terrorist plot ... complete with a Soviet scientist, nuclear weapons, and escapees from Guantanamo. At times the technical details of the weapon got to be a bit much for me, but skimming over them didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the story. There were also several references to previous Paul Madriani novels that regular readers would understand, but, again, nothing that kept me from following the storyline.

Overall, it was an entertaining read. A great way to escape for a few hours.
