the plot thickens, recommend
Omg, thank author for writing a compelling, captivating and riveting book and by enlightening readers about contraindications awareness when diagnosed with high blood pressure. I appreciate the twisted plot and I identified the culprit from the beginning but I thought I got it wrong after you threw in a few monkey wrenches. I hate no one will ever know the truth. I’m so glad author didn’t pair Nate with Liselle. She was clouding Nate mind by using Sarah persona. By Nate being the kind of stand up guy that he is, I wonder how he truly feels about being betrayed. I really appreciate this book bc it touched on a personal struggle for me, HBP, which I suffered with. I learned a lot. I started googling while I was reading and what was discussed in this book was true about HBP. I never heard of St. John wort or tyramine until this book. I never knew the effects St. John Wort and tyramine can have on HBP. I didn’t know they were a real thing. And most importantly, this book educated me to always be aware of what I eat or drink from others. To always be inquisitive about what goes into my body bc the interactions can be deadly.

good read
Stagg is a little weak on plotting. This story revolved around a court case that never should have been brought forth. I managed to get through this because Stagg is a good writer. His fluff – descriptions and characterizations not germain to the plot-are better than most. A fledgling John Grissom he’s not.

So good!
When you find a great series you want to just keep reading. Sadly, Michael is a fairly new author and a third book is coming. I wish he had already written at least 10. His work rather reminds me of Michael Crichton. Not necessarily in style but how realistic the characters are, the great storylines, and always looking forward to the next book.I don’t recall reading a book where the trial portion is so believable. His interaction with the judge and prosecutor seems realistically professional. I also enjoy that there is no courtroom “aha” moment when the truth comes out. The resolution comes organically as we read. I wouldn’t say it is “on the edge of your seat” reading but as you read you feel as if you are Nate, learning as you go but boy at the end – WOW. I also enjoy the family aspect which also seems realistic. It is just something that fleshes out the characters and provides subtle humor, as do his friends.I hope Michael is able to keep going with his high quality writing for many books to come!

Did not see it coming.
The book started off a little slow, but then …..oh my. I could not put it down. Did not see the end coming. What can I say? Want a quick murder mystery to read? I recommend this book. Now let me see about that next one.

legal thriller
I really like legal thrillers and this one did not disappoint. Good twists and turns in the story. A good read.
Ms Hudson –
Ending????
Actually I liked this book but I’m still trying to figure out the ending. Why would you write a book and leave the readers confused about who did it. The ending is the most important part to me. Just wrong!

INTRIGING STORY
I am so glad I discovered this author. If you like legal drama stories, you will thoroughly enjoy this one. He has an interesting way of using courtroom drama to tell a story. You will find the ending intriguing. I am going to read all books in this series. GREAT, GREAT, READ!

A very good story very well written. Only downside it take forever to get really started (about the whole of the first quarter of the book). But it’s worth the effort, because then the plot becomes a real page turner.
CM –
It is not possible for me to put these stories down. I enjoy the way they are written and I loved and certainly didn’t expect the twist at the end of this.
Mrs. C –
I am enjoying these books. Suspense to the end

Buying the next instalment of Nate Shepherd. I enjoy a good court room drama. Will likely read the whole series.

This life episode took so long it became a trifle tedious and thus obvious that your had to keep going to prove it. Need something more enlivening after that
