– A Court Room Drama –

My Thoughts

After a few years in prison, Edward Hall, a disbarred lawyer, is released, however, he has no intention of returning to his days as an attorney. But when he gets a desperate call from his sister Amy, a physician, he is forced to rethink everything.

Amy has been to visit her husband, who she is currently separated from, and found him shot and bleeding. She immediately performs CPR then calls 911, but it doesn’t take long for her to become the number one suspect.

Edward is torn regarding representing her for various reasons, some of which are only shared as the book progresses.

Be prepared for a suspenseful ride and a big twist toward the end of the book.

Will justice prevail?

What Concerned Me

 Though I don’t know much regarding legal issues, a couple of places made me wonder a bit. (However, the author is a lawyer, so there’s a very good chance I should rethink my concerns –Teehee). But, seriously, I did consider a couple of places beyond belief.

My Conclusion

I am a fan of mysteries and at the top of my list are legal mysteries. This book started with a bang and kept me flipping pages. The writing is good, the characters are well-developed, and the story has creative twists.

This is the first book I’ve read by author Jay Brandon, but I will definitely be reading more.
