Roy M.'s ReviewFans of police crime drama will snuggle up with this entertaining yet undemanding story. The opening scenes are immediately recognisable. A rundown defending lawyers’ office staffed by those happy to earn bottom dollar or those unable to progress their careers beyond that lowly place. Our protagonist Summer Neuwirth for now occupies one of the cramped desks there. Haze County is a law-abiding jurisdiction that only makes a public defender’s life harder.But Summer has just walked a nailed-on rapist, Marsalis, for her first win. The price she pays is to be stalked throughout by her creepy, techno-expert client who knows too much about her. Consequently she is handed the job of defending the woman accused of murdering her professional adversary, prosecutor Harold Gundy. She is assigned an ex-cop to do the investigation on the case which leads to the little love interest in the story.Review Disclaimer: Book provided in exchange for an honest review.
