Product Description
The mysterious legacy of defense attorney Andy Carpenter's late father has made him a rich man-22 million dollars rich, to be exact. But as Andy relaxes in his office, imagining ways to spend his money, he has an unexpected visitor: a stranger who confesses to decapitating and burning a man-cooly relying on the confidentiality of attorney-client privilege. When an innocent man is charged with the crime, Andy decides to take on the case. But the case becomes personal when, in a stunning development, Andy's client is exonerated and his girlfriend, Laurie Collins, is accused of the crime. When the man who originally confessed to the murder turns up dead, Andy realizes that this is much bigger than one crime. Who committed the murders? Who framed Laurie? In the case of his life, Andy must prove Laurie's innocence in this thrilling mystery from the always inventive David Rosenfelt.

 Clever, engaging, and good fun, 2008-09-21
This is my 2nd Rosenfelt book and I've enjoyed them both very much. I'll be reading more by him.
His mysteries have clever plot lines with numerous twists and turns that keep you guessing to the very end.
I like that his characters, though seriously flawed in various ways, carry on in good and positive spirits. No dark, brooding characters, no complex psychological traumas, or no crazed or obsessive addictions. Just reasonably regular people - even the criminals are reasonably likeable and do things for sensible enough reasons and motivations.
All in all, refreshingly straightforward and a great way to spend a few unplugged hours.

Graceful & Easy Writing, 2008-02-04
David Rosenfelt's books are a pleasure to read; as an author, he deserves more fame than he has garnered.
His plots are clever and his legal information is compelling and pivotal. The dialogue is so bright that a reader will laugh aloud. Rosenfelt is that rare author who can write a mystery that actually holds its suspense to the final pages.
His protagonist, Andy Carpenter, is well-formed.
As with all of Rosenfelt's books that I've read to date, FIRST DEGREE was riveting in its complexity...and it's fun to boot.

A powerhouse novel!!, 2007-09-04
This book is truly un-put-downable. I finished it last night around 1 AM and there was no good place to stop from like page 100 till the end. So I would start it on a Friday night if I were you. Rosenfelt is one the best authors I've read, and I read a ton.
