2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Biloxi's best criminal defense attorney has never lost a case. Then his client's beautiful wife is murdered, and America's #1 lawyer suddenly becomes its #1 suspect. Stafford Lee Penney is a small-town lawyer with a big-time reputation for winning every case he tries. In his sharp suits and polished Oxford shoes, Penney is Biloxi, Mississippi's #1 Lawyer and top local celebrity. Just as Penney notches his latest courtroom victory, his wife is scandalously killed. He spirals into a legal and personal losing streak, damaging his reputation and ruining his career. That's when Penney makes a bold decision. He stops trading on his power-lawyer identity and creates a new one: lawyer lifeguard. Moonlighting at the beach, showing up to court in flip-flops, mentoring a law student, the new Penney is at first unrecognizable. It's said that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. But when Penney is accused of murder, the #1 Lawyer will find a way to triumph.

This is a legal thriller that deals with a lawyer at the top of his game, who spirals out of control after his wife is murdered. After getting his act together he is charged with the murder of a client's wife and must bring his best to keep his freedom. It was a fun, easy read, although I did feel the little bit of romance in the story was underplayed and felt flat. I still enjoyed it and I would pick up the next one if the series continues. 3.5/5

This book is about Stafford Lee Penney, known as the #1 lawyer. I fell in love with Stafford Lee and his story and I would love for this to become a series.
He goes from #1 lawyer to #1 suspect in a murder and he decides his only way to win is to represent himself. His determination to prove his innocence came with a battle!
Thank you so much to Little, Brown, and Co and James Patterson‘s Street Team for the advance copy of this novel!
