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.
You’re welcome Loretta and thank YOU for taking the time to write this. It is much appreciated 🙂 Cheers!
