    I love your web site. I am addicted to criminal law books and having suggestions so easily available is AWESOME! Right now, I’m stuck on Thaddeus Murphy/John Ellsworth. I just completed the Sisters in Law, such a short list. Every time I finish one, I feel like I just lost a good friend until I find another one to hook me. I will be placing orders through this web site! Thank you for all the work in development and keeping the lists current.
