Good, really good book.
Didn't want to leave a review before reading another book in this series. Author writes clean, no four letter words and sex. Dean Wilder is an attorney everybody wants on their side. If you're old enough to watch black and white Perry Mason shows, you'll like this series. Amazon should pick these books to make it into a good movies.

Easy and enjoyable legal action
A great little legal thriller. I don't like short books but this one didn't suffer as some do from a lack of pages. You've no time to blink reading this book, it's non stop thrills and I never felt short changed. There's a tight plot, a defendant you can't help but love, corrupt cops, a mean prosecutor and best of all, a defence attorney with a conscience. The courtroom scene is enjoyable in the same way as the A Few Good Men movie was. I couldn't help but picture Nicholson and Cruise in each other's faces. With a respectable twist at the end I'm in no doubt to move on to book two.

As a fan of legal thriller, this one does not reinvent the genre but is very enticing. Short and cutting on what could be nice character evolution and procedurial knowledge, it is still a nice one.

Great read
Great story line about a trial of a innocent man for murder that has many twists and turns. It ends with a police detective being charged with the crime. He was trying to prove that the victim was responsible for his daughter's suicide and lost his temper causing the victims death

Movie quality drama
Patrick Graham delivered an astonishing novel. fantastic legal thrill ride. I never give spoiler reviews and don't read them either so here goes, the characters walked off the pages and I was right there with them. I can't wait to see the next case Dean Wilder takes. Happy reading. 📚

A reasonable court room drama
The story was fine but a little obvious. The author's expositive style was very simple and direct, with short declarative sentences, lots of repetition, and little subtlety.

Good twist at the end!
I liked the story but it was a short read.. It was thorough, the characters were interesting and all the questions were answered. Very good plot twist at the end

Enjoyable read!
Yes, some malapropisms populate this book. Overall, it is a good read, with just the right amount of hot sauce.

Very light reading
The book is ok for easy reading. No real mystery in the plot. Author has abilities but needs more imagination

My computer is having a hissy, but it won't accept any additional stars. I meant it to be 5 extra big stars. I loved the book, disregarded 15 things I should be doing, and just continue reading. The characters in the book were intensely interesting. I can't wait for the next book.

Fantastic!
Crime drama on steroids! A great read for anyone who likes criminal mystery thrillers. I am going on the hunt for more novels by this author.

Enjoyable courtroom drama
This was a delightful courtroom drama with several twists and turns and interesting characters that kept one guessing as to who was the killer.

Easy read
Characters you feel you would like to know but slightly caricatured. Defence attorney with a heart and deep sense of justice. A fast read but not overly taxing. Simple plot but well written.
