Recently I asked Margolin about what he was reading. His reply:
My favorite book I read recently is A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. It is magical and everything a novel should be.Visit Phillip Margolin's website and Facebook page.
I also finished Greg Iles' Natchez Burning trilogy while on vacation. This consists of three huge books – Natchez Burning, The Bone Tree and Mississippi Blood – which are really one very long but thoroughly engrossing novel set in the present that revolve around civil rights murders committed by a secret offshoot of the KKK in the 1960s that might have been involved in JFK’s assassination.
