A Criminal Defense Philadelphia Legal Jr William L Myers Books

I don't normally watch or read courtroom stuff. I'm retired after 35 years of practicing criminal law as a public defender and having lived it, I really hate the melodrama of legal thrillers. Still the premise of this book looked pretty interesting, so I decided to give it a shot.

First, I've never been employed in a private law practice, but I'm aware of the pressures that cause some lawyers to bend the ethical rules, so I can say that what transpires here is within the realm of possibility.

Second, having been first chair in a number of capital murder trials, I can tell you that from a legal procedure standpoint, Mr. Myers is virtually spot on. His witness by witness trial recap is great. I especially appreciated his depiction of the interaction between the judge and the lawyers.

Third, the storyline is excellent! I won't give anything away, but it's a complex story that with a sufficient suspension of disbelief, holds together in the end.

I'll admit that some folks might think the storyline is a bit plodding and too drawn out. Maybe you gotta be a legal geek to really appreciate it. My wife, who has no law experience, just started it yesterday. So far, she likes it. Speaking for myself, I can say that I really enjoyed it! I'll be happy to read more from Mr. Myers.

A Criminal Defense Philadelphia Legal Jr William L Myers Books Reviews

If you can stick with the story through the first half of the book, you'll find a very interesting trial; That's when the action really begins. The rambling backstory should have been much shorter. But, the author does tie it all together in the end. How the reader feels about the characters when it's all said and done is another question - and a very good one, at that.
Best book I have ever read.
I love murder mysteries and crime novels and always try to figure everything out before
the author reveals it. Not this time. This book was very interesting and compelling. I was hooked by the 10th page and wanted to keep reading nonstop. Loved all the twists and turns and although I figured out a couple of things
I didn't see most of it coming. Good job! I will actively search for more books by this author.
Smooth writing and an enjoyable read with a story line that quickly engaged me. The story is about a lawyer, his family and a client accused of murder. While the lawyer works to build a defense for his client, he is also trying to figure out how to bring his family back together. There are plenty of twists and turns with lots of hints to keep one guessing and guessing some more as more who is the killer or killers. And when it all comes together, there are plenty of surprises.
Details. The devil is in the details. And this author's knowledge of the criminal justice system makes the story sizzle. I shouldn't enjoy the lead character as much as I do. But flaws make every one of the novel's characters compelling. There are no unrealistic good guys; there are no irredeemable bad guys. Even the murder victim is flawed. You are caught up from the very first in a mystery you have to pick at constantly. Who is lying? Who is hiding unwelcome truths? What exactly is going on? I wanted to know who done it! And even when I was sure I did know, I only had part of the story. The author gives you plenty of clues. He makes sure you know there is more going on in this murder trial than meets the eye. Still, the ending is as unexpected as it can possibly be. In fact, it left me breathless. I'm going to search for another novel by this author immediately. And that is high praise from a reader with a low tolerance for mediocre writing.
If you love procedural legal dramas and mysteries you will love “A Criminal Defense’ by William L. Myers Jnr…
This is filled with clever courtroom angst, conflict and drama. A young female journo is found dead and a prominent businessman is the accused… and our male Lead – Mick McFarland, defence attorney extraordinaire is in for the case of his life! While there is a great deal of detail I found myself flying through this book.
Mick is in a conundrum... it’s clear that this trial is far more than it seems and there are lives and livelihoods at stake… but who does he trust? who does he back?... where does it lead.
This was entirely unexpected... I enjoyed the legal volleying... There were many believable yet unexpected twists that kept me glued.
I did not see the end coming…I’m still reeling… I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...
Law & Order eat your heart out! 4.5 solid stars…
A great combination of a legal procedural and mystery. Mr. Myers clearly knows his way around a courtroom - lots of realistic details. The book moves at a brisk pace, with new developments in each chapter. Character development was also well done - surprisingly good for a first novel.
I hope the author is working on a second novel!!
