A legal case and a personal domestic drama face attorney Dutch Francis when two situations combine to put him near his breaking point.
If it isn't pressure enough defending a former judge against a first degree murder charge, Dutch Francis has another horrible problem -- his wife, TV news broadcaster, Ginnie Turner, has gone missing. Torn between his contractual responsibilities to his client and his mad concern for his wife, Francis is pushed to take matters into his own hands and engages his own investigator to help him look into what might have happened to Ginnie. Is this about her news stories or is it about his work as a lawyer? And how can he concentrate on the courtroom when he can't find his wife and the police are a bit suspicious of him.
This was fast paced and I read it in a single sitting. When I started, I did not realize that this was the third book in a series and I think I might have enjoyed it more if I had read the others since I would have had more of the backstory that makes a character seem more believable. I did enjoy the two-pronged story, though found a bit of Dutch's actions somewhat unrealistic. I do like a good legal thriller and lots of courtroom action, so that part was more interesting to me than the missing wife aspect. I'll have to keep an eye out for future books by this author.
Thank you to NetGalley and Oceanview Publishing for this e-book ARC to read and review.
This is the 3rd in a series -- I had not read the first two and I wish I had done.
