Review Identity Crisis

Identity Crisis Best Review

When Baltimore lawyer Sam McRae accepts an apparently simple case, she's quickly catapulted into a web of intrigue that's pure Hitchcock-and-Chandler. The domestic abuse case leads to a murder investigation, and this lawyer is forced to become the sleuth. Sam makes an attractive and likable heroine but avoids the "plucky" cliches. Some great secondary characters, the mob, a strip club, and a brisk pace keep Identity Crisis moving along to its twisty ending. Mack's prose carries the first person narration -- a standard of amateur and professional sleuths alike -- with aplomb and gives us a great first look at characters we'll want to see again... in the sequel! Crafty and highly entertaining, Identity Crisis covers the bases for fans of mysteries and thrillers of all stripes. By the author of the crime/mystery collection FIVE UNEASY PIECES!

Great debut novel! - John M. Lovell -
[ASIN:B002BWQ676 Identity Crisis]]
Debbi Mack's first novel is worth far more than the 99 cents I paid to download it. It's not a great novel, but it kept me turning pages, and there was tension on every one of them. I kept wanting to learn what would happen next. I am looking forward to Novel No. 2Identity Crisis. The characters are well defined and distinct, and although the arch-villain seems a bit stereotypical, he is satisfyingly evil. And the first-person protagonist is fully developed and sympathetic, a solo-practice lawyer willing to bend the rules on occasion to look out for her client's interests -- and the client herself.





A captivating, easy-reading book - Tom O -
I had the pleasure of reading "Identity Crisis" about 6 months ago and have been chomping at the bit for a sequel. This genre of crime novel is one of my favorites and I try to read all I can. Being from the Baltimore area, it also made reading more enjoyable when I could identify with the surroundings and local flavor in the book. The heroine, Sam McRae, is intelligent and very likable - one can also really identify with her which is important to me when reading.
I see that Ms. Mack has received a recent harsh review regarding legal accuracy and deviation from legal procedures, etc. but I can only answer for myself - I certainly don't read novels purely on the precipice that they will be accurate. I read to escape into someone else's life for that brief moment and Debbi's book allows me to do so. I cannot wait for her next.





Irritating plot. - Suzi B. - Dallas, TX
The heroine of this mystery is supposed to be an attorney. However, she violates the legal ethics rules time after time in addition to committing at least one crime, i.e. breaking and entering. At the end of this novel she would most likely be put in jail and disbarred. She does one stupid thing after another, something that irritated me so much that I could not finish this thing. I don't believe that anyone who was trained as an attorney would behave as she does, at least not anyone with any sense and especially not anyone with the work experience she allegedly has. This author should have her artistic license taken away and not have it reinstated unless she attended at least a years worth of legal education seminars with particular emphasis on ethics and criminal law.
