That was MY plea while reading this book. Why? While a very well written and researched book, the author failed to deliver a thrilling story greatly. As a thriller fan I was bored out of my mind. This is not a thriller and it Should not be advertised as one. As manyother readers, I was mislead by the appealing synopsis so much so did I bought the hard cover Because I could not wait to read it. Well, I ended up thumbing through it, hoping to find somewhere the "thrill", but did not. Retribution is one of my favorite books of all time. To me, Plea of Insanity which nothing but a huge disappointment.
