Lost Lake audiobook

Phil Margolin is one of the best at intricate but understandable plotting. I enjoyed this and his other books thoroughly.

Goodness! Just when I am positive I can relax because I KNOW the "meannie,"...wrong..."things happen" and the plot widens. The author keeps me alert and reading on. Sleep is delayed.Excellent read. Very interesting character development, a believeable back drop and an interesting array of twists and turns that is obvious only when the story if done.fast paced... keeps you guessing until the end. would definitely recommend this book. looking for more by this author. 🙂

Another great read from Mr. Margolin. I've read quite a few of his books and I always get sucked into his world of crime and suspense. Mr. Margolin is my favorite crime author and I've tried a couple if others but for me none compare to Philip Margolin's writing.

Geniala! Exact genul meu de carte!

I picked up a large selection of audio books at a yard sale this past summer. Lost Lake is one of them. I had never heard of Phillip Margolin, but the description of the story printed on the box captivated me. I was not disappointed.I must confess that I often enjoy the audio book more than I would the printed book, particularly if the reader is good (and Deborah Hazlett is quite good). I listen in my car, and am typically transported by a good story. This is a good story. It is a page turner (disc turner?).The characters are well developed, and the plot has enough twists to keep any suspense aficionado engrossed. There are some rather implausible aspects to parts of the plot, particularly the courtroom portion, but I can forgive that as long as the story moves forward deftly, and the ending is unpredictable right up until, well, the end.I will be reading or listening to more Phillip Margolin. I have a passion for suspense, and sometimes find myself in a rut with the same authors. It's nice to discover an author who, for me, is new and fresh.

Grabbed this one for 50 cents off the clearance shelf at Half Price Books. I thought it was going to be a horror story, but it wasn't. I'm not disappointed, however. It turned out to be a pretty riveting thriller. I want to find more paperbacks from this author. A young woman is destroyed by her father who is a general for a secret government intelligence agency (even more secret than the CIA). She witnesses her ex boyfriend doing some of her fathers dirty work and he subsequently forced her into a mental institution for a year to destroy any credibility her testimony would have. Just when everyone thought the ex-boyfriend/assassin is dead and gone, he shows up again, of course with a different name. All kinds of crazy things are going on here. Spying, espionage, murder....mystery. It just doesn't get any better than this. I would have preferred more of a twist at the end, which is why I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Perhaps now I will try to finish that horrible Jane Austen book.

I have read numerous books by Phillip Margolin that were all in the same series with the same characters and enjoyed them all. This book, however, was a totally different cast of characters and story line - Still a great read.In a nutshell, this is a story about a very important general who is responsible for some terrible missions that he orders and only his daughter tries to tell the world about this. Her father has her committed to a sanitarium and, of course, tells all that it is for her own good since she is delusional. It is a story that shows you how one VIP can get away with all kinds of crimes because he is a VIP. No one believes his daughter or anyone she has convinced because she is obviously delusional and also it can't possibly be true of such an important, caring individual. Don't want to tell you any more of the story so I recommend you get it a try and think you will be glad you did.

Phillip Margolin, an attorney based in Portland (Oregon, of course) has written another thrilling, although slow to develop, book primarily set in Portland. This one involves a complex tale of murder, torture, a clandestine military organization which may or may not have existed, the apparently mentally disturbed daughter of a presidential candidate, and a relatively inexperienced attorney. The attorney is reluctant to take the case because of her total lack of experience in criminal law, but is more or less forced into it by circumstances. The reader suspects that she could find an experienced criminal law expert to take the case had she really tried, but then the book wouldn't be quite as interesting and entertaining. A great conspiracy is at root, and proving its existence is at the heart of the book.

After seeing as many movies as I've seen over the years, and some of them having to do with Vietnam, this book started off as one that is very difficult to read without disbelief. As the story goes on, however, it gets LOTS better. Let's just say that what comes around, goes around...and sometimes can bite you in the ass on both trips by.

Dan read this one and liked it so I requested from the library and enjoyed it too. Fast moving with good character development. Story weaves characters together past and current. Other than the very violent aspect, it was a very good read and would make a good movie. I picture General Wingate as Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, the shifts in POV, the story, the inevitable questions that kept popping up as you progressed, and the element of uncertainty that pervades this story, all the way to what I thought was a more than satisfactory ending. I enjoyed it so much I'm planning on reading more from Mr. Margolin.

Very good story. Very interesting with all the twist and turns, being told in the past and present, and not knowing who is telling the truth. This book is a page turner, easy read. It kept me kept me guessing what was going on until the very end. This book made me a fan of Phillip Margolin. I am definitely going to read his other books.
