A complex man in the middle of a complex murder trailThis is the third book in a series about a army vet, now a lawyer and the cases he handles. Sam Johnstone is an alcoholic with PTSD. This can cause him difficulties professionally and personally. Each book centers on Sam's current client and their trail. I have been binge reading the series and can not wait to Finnish this review so I can start book four.
Love this series Not gonna lie, it took me a while to like Sam Johnstone. I really like the author's story telling style, I just couldn't fall in like with Sam. I appreciate that this series is not laced with profanity and gratuitous sex. I really enjoy the courtroom scenes and the play between law enforcement and the legal players. Can't wait for book 4.
Book three in series. Long court room scenes very dry to get through. "Villain" Lucy Berretta a little too over the top with her machinations to beating the charges. Quick read at 360 some odd Kindle pages. I liked books one and two far more in this series. Wonder if a book four may come out ? A must read books one and two, Thee not so much. check it out.
James Chandler Just Keeps It Going...James Chandler just keeps it going with Sam Johnstone and his battle to get away from alcohol as a crutch and become a successful lawyer in a small town. Well worth the read.
I haven't read the previous books in this series, however, it did not impair my understanding of the story. False Evidence has a sound and well put together plot where the main characters Sam and Lucy could not be more opposite. She is a consummate liar and he is totally hinged on the truth, she wants money and feeds on the manipulation power she has, he suffers because he cannot tell what he believes is the truth. There is also the back play in the judge's chamber and between the lawyers which
GrippingThe justice system. How it works and the defendants, the jury how it all ties together. The attorney is theme to do a job. It's bad for the innocent who needs the not guilty verdict but for the guilty who get off what a shame and for what the attorneys have to live with. Great book. Keeps you guessing.
I have read each of the Sam Johnstone books, and for me, they just keep getting better and better. Mr. Chandler has quickly become one of my favorite authors. He is an excellent storyteller, and I became so engrossed in the book that I gave up precious sleep to keep reading until I finished. Lucy, the client that Sam defends on a murder charge, is a well-written character that you just love to hate. There were so many times that I just wanted to punch her! I kept talking to Sam in my head, telli...
Really enjoying this author and this series. It’s obvious the author has military and a legal background. Great plots with twists and turns and a believable main character that I want to know more about. I’m ready to start the next book in this series and hope the author writes more!
The storyline is the starThe main character is already established and the courtroom has to be the main location of the action. The explanation of legal points is just the right depth. The interaction of the characters fits well with the storyline. Looking forward to the next in the series.
Having read all the previous in the Sam Johnstone Book series, I'd been anxiously waiting for the next volume. It is helpful to read these in order to understand characters and background. There is some sexual content and profanity. Legal cases intrigue me and this is the story of a lawyer's ethical delima. There are really several plots intertwined. Sam has set up a solo practice in Custer, WY. One case is the disappearance of local college President, Vincent Beretta. Subplot he's having an af...
Usually series get worse as they go on. This is the exception. Surprisingly, Chandler let go of the whole whodunnit aspect which I thought was going to make this a boring read. Yet, I enjoyed it more than the previous books. Looking forward to Capital Justice!Ps. I found a funny editing mistake (Minor spoilers ahead) that momentarily brought Richards back to life: "Richards retrieved scissors and carefully cut away the clothing, handing each piece to the assistant, who placed it in a plastic bag...
This is the third book in the Sam Johnstone series. Each book can be read as a standalone. This is a good courtroom drama. The courtroom scenes are interesting and the final outcome satisfying. This series is character driven as we watch Sam struggle with coming to terms with his time in the military. I did find his behavior annoying at times in this book, particularly his attraction to Lucy. Even though he has had his struggles to find his way in the previous books too, he just came across weak...
I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish reading this book! Sam is appointed to represent a woman accused of murder, but she is far less than truthful. Mr. Chandler’s storytelling is quite skilled, delivering a complex plot with well-developed characters. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one. I received a complimentary copy of this book and chose to write a voluntary, unbiased review.
