Very thrilling ride, a new twist to an old theme.
A good read. You will enjoy it. Thanks. Janice young author of “puppy eyes guide the blind”.
3.5. Would read next in series. Enjoyably politically incorrect which was fun. She didn’t know how to drive. She loved the city, he didn’t. He was the woodworker, she was the lawyer. She didn’t try to make use of her Indian heritage to get jobs, etc.
I enjoyed this book and recommend it. Was a little different from what I was expecting.
powerful read.
Well told, comfortably paced thriller. The vocabulary was a bit simple and Arnold overuses legal terms almost as if to pound into the heads of an ignorant reader both the meanings of the terms and the fact that the author is sounding as if showing off a deeper understanding of legal text than the reader could ever hope to have.
The story itself was well told, with a great balance of setting shifts. The pace was extremely appropriate to the story line. Characters were nicely developed.
I’d happily recommend this title to anyone who like the genre.
One more thing… This book was well edited from the viewpoint of simple grammar mistakes. It’s sad how often simple but egregious mistakes sneak through in titles now days.
Good read!
I thought the plot was original. I enjoyed the protaganist. I liked the American Indian references.
Another gem by author Melissa F. Miller! I love her Sasha McCandless series and am delighted that this first entry in the Aroostine Higgins series did not disappoint. Like Sasha, Aroostine is an attorney, recently moved from small town private practice to a DOJ position in Washington, DC. She is assigned to her first case as lead prosecutor but everything starts to go wrong, professionally and personally. Add in kidnapping, arson, cyberstalking and a computer genius who finds himself on the wrong side of the law and you have a very exciting novel! This is definitely a page-turner as you won’t want to wait to find out what happens next to these very real characters.
I read this book and then immediately purchased the remaining books of the series. For a month, I read every book written by Miller. Each book is very entertaining. You will finish one and want to continue on to the next to see what happens. Great storylines. Keep them coming Melissa.
A good beach read.
I haven’t finished this book yet. I keep picking it up, knowing i like the author and other series of hers, but then this plot makes me so sad, so uncomfortable that i move on to other books instead. Rinse and repeat. Maybe i will eventually get through it but… too sad for right now.
I’m loving this series. Great author!
good suspense and reading
I just did…….
Great read! First, I loved Miller’s Irreparable Harm, so I immediately knew she would become a favorite author. She did not disappoint with Critical Vulnerability.
Read your story and I liked it I enjoyed it very much it was intense and exciting read it is well written great read
Fun read if you know Pittsburgh and western PA. Gotta love the Krav Maga and Sasha’s other idiosyncrasies.
Very predictable, very horrible.
Critical Vulnerability an Aroostine Higgins novel by Melissa F. Miller is a suspense legal thriller. Though the book doesn’t have any courtroom action it is about a criminal trying very hard to derail a court case by destroying evidence, kidnapping and blackmail. Characters are complex, and plot lines move along nicely then join together to close the story. Backstories are inserted appropriately to round out reader understanding. This was a satisfying read.
good to read a story about an American Indian as the main character. good story
