kaitlynisliterate 's review for:

The 7th Canon by Robert Dugoni
4.25
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Pros
+ I love legal thrillers where the main character is a defense attorney rather than a prosecutor. 
+ Excellent use of multiple POVs

Cons
- Repeated comments from the main character and others that the media is too harsh on the Catholic Church and priests. Felt like the author had an axe to grind and was roping the reader into it.
- The case against Father Thomas Martin never really seems solid so his exoneration felt too easy.
