Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. lawyer solves murder in firm This wasn't as lighthearted as I expected -- it's a mostly serious murder mystery set in a California law firm in the 1980s. It reminded me of early books by [a:John Grisham|721|John Grisham|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1413390525p2/721.jpg] and [a:Sidney Sheldon|9068|Sidney Sheldon|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1209169297p2/9068.jpg], with a classically overworked associate who tries to make up for feeling overwhelmed by working even harder. It seemed clear to me that the author had actually worked in a law firm -- the details rang as true as the overall architecture of the setting. Of course it's somewhat dated: corded phones, hard copies of treatises, filings that have to be done in person at the courthouse, actual carbon copies. But technology aside, the inner workings of a law firm, and the power struggles therein, still feel very modern. The resolution was satisfying, and the glimmer of a love interest was believeable and un-forced. I received a copy of this ebook from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

It's the 1980s, and Tweedmore & Slyde is the hottest law firm in red-hot Silicon Valley, where the computer industry is creating new ways to mint money, and lots of it. Tweedmore's lawyers are masters at carving out their own little slices of that pie'drafting briefs and wills and contracts, and putting in 18-hour days to protect the interests of their staggeringly wealthy clientele. Enter Howard Rickover. Pudgy and perpetually rumpled, Howard is an unlikely addition to the Tweedmore tank of sharply dressed sharks. But when one of the sharks is stabbed to death, the scrappy no-nonsense homicide detective inexplicably selects Howard to run an ?inside job, ? helping her to flush out the murderer. Will wits and chemistry be enough to allow this unlikely duo to find the killer before the killer finds them? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
