Representaion During Books A Criminal Defense (Philadelphia Legal #1)
Losing the trial of his life could mean losing everything.When a young reporter is found dead and a prominent Philadelphia businessman is accused of her murder, Mick McFarland finds himself involved in the case of his life. The defendant, David Hanson, was Mick’s close friend in law school, and the victim, a TV news reporter, had reached out to Mick for legal help only hours before her death.
Mick’s played both sides of Philadelphia’s courtrooms. As a top-shelf defense attorney and former prosecutor, he knows all the tricks of the trade. And he’ll need every one of them to win.
But as the trial progresses, he’s disturbed by developments that confirm his deepest fears. This trial, one that already hits too close to home, may jeopardize his firm, his family—everything. Now Mick’s only way out is to mastermind the most brilliant defense he’s ever spun, one that will cross every legal and moral boundary.

So I'm wavering between 3 and 4 stars and have decided to go with 4. There were parts of this book that were excellent, there were parts of this book that were not, but they always led to new questions of "what's he up to now" and "who is on that tape". I thought I new; I did not. (view spoiler)[In the end the one person I was sure was on that tape was not and they were the one that had actually done the deed. I guessed the right person but not the right motive.

The defendant, David Hanson, was Mick's close friend in law school, and the victim, a TV news reporter, has reached out to Mick for legal help hours before her death. Mick had been a prosecutor before becoming a defense attorney. There is a lot more going on under the surface than you think.This book has a slow pace but I don't
As a nearly-exclusive reader of the fantasy genre, I don't typically pick up books like A Criminal Defense. However, looking through the March 2017 Kindle First choices, I noted that the fantasy/sci-fi option this month was a YA dystopian sci-fi. Honestly, I just couldn't bear to read another YA dystopian, so I decided to branch out and go for the "legal thriller" instead. All of this is to say that I'm not typically a reader of thrillers, legal or otherwise. As such, I can't speak to the
I got this through Kindle First and I guess I'll never learn that free books are terrible books. I chose it because it had the best reviews of them all... what are y'all smoking??Also this author didn't seem to know that Thatcher Gray (Grey) is a well known soap opera character from Grey's Anatomy.
Twists and turns a plenty, but it doesn't make for a good story. No drama, no anticipation, Grisham it ain't. Hey, let's make a convoluted plot, that no one will see coming because it doesn't make any sense, and have the bad guys get away with everything. No reckoning, no justice, no punishment for the guilty. If that was the intended overall message I suppose the book succeeded, but I can't help but think it was just happenstance.

Fantastic! I was really blown away by this book. There are so many surprises and plot twists- I was kept guessing until the very end. I love clever lawyering and tense courtroom drama-I really enjoyed the courtroom scenes. The real surprise for me, though, was the characters and the drama/conflict between them. Legal thrillers these days are too often filled with thin, almost cliche'd characters. The characters in this book, including the protagonist Mick, are layered and their relationships
I enjoyed the writing itself but took off 3 points for the plot, storyline, and the way it ended. The plot and storyline had the feel of a bad soap opera. Yes, I understand wanting to add twists and surprises but this was absurd. I mean, having our "hero" lawyer Mick, his troubled brother Tommy, the prosecuting attorney, Mick's wife, the defendant David Hanson, and David's wife Marcie all cheating and being cheated on and involved in the murder of reporter Jennifer Yamura in different ways was
