Review of The Inmate
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Inmate" by Alan P. Woodruff.]
The Inmate: A Lucius White Novel is just one book in a series by Alan P. Woodruff. In this novel, Lucius White receives a letter from an inmate named Jose Lopez. What makes this letter different than what Lucius White usually receives, you ask? Well, that's simple, Lucius doesn't represent inmates. He fights to keep his clients out of prison. Therefore, why does Jose Lopez, an inmate, want Lucius White to represent him. Jose Lopez believes that he did not receive a fair trial and that the government used some untruthful testimony against him. Jose did not murder U.S. Park Service Officer Richard Maynard and believes since Lucius is a known lawyer for being committed to seeing justice through that, Lucius is his last chance of getting out of prison. Lucius has his girlfriend, Leslie, and his private investigator, Buford "Horse" McGee, look into Jose Lopez's first trial to see any evidence of Jose's claims. Lucius got interested in the case and asked Jose if he wanted to proceed because there was a chance that they would retry his case. If that were the case, then the death penalty would be back on for sentencing. Currently, he is serving 25 years in prison with no chance of parole which he has done 12 years. Jose agrees to proceed with trying to get his case vacated and ends up getting retried. Will Lucius, Leslie, and "Horse" get enough evidence to set Jose Lopez free? If you want to find out what happens to Jose Lopez, read The Inmate: A Lucius White Novel by Alan P. Woodruff.
This novel is very engaging and keeps the reader in suspense. It is tough to put down the book, with all the twists and turns in the storyline when you start to read it. I liked the attention to detail in the trial. It made you feel like you were witnessing a real case in a courtroom. I was not too fond of all the errors I found in the book. While reading, I found twelve errors. A number of the mistakes were wrong words used, and then there were missing words.
I give The Inmate: A Lucius White Novel three out of four stars. I wanted to give a high rating because it is an excellent book to read with the attention to detail the author uses and the storyline that keeps the reader engaged to the end of the story. I had to deduct stars, though, because of the number of errors I found. Twelve errors are a lot and not deserving of a perfect score.
I would recommend this book for mature audiences since the novel uses swear words and slang words associated with motorcycle gangs. As it is a murder trial, the novel's content also makes this novel more suited for mature audiences. I recommend this book for any reader who likes law and solving crime since a lot of the story is about trials and following the evidence to see who is telling the truth.
The Inmate: A Lucius White Novel by Alan P. Woodruff is a great novel to read. If you have time to read and like this genre, I recommend reading this novel. I look forward to reading other books in this series. Thank you, Allan P. Woodruff, for writing The Inmate: A Lucius White Novel with such attention to detail; it was a real treat to read.
