"McLean's first novel takes the reader on a terrific journey through the machinations of Boston law. Under Fire is a compelling legal thriller with vivid characters, a realistic feel to the proceedings, and a case that ignites our interest practically on the first page. McLean, a law professor and former criminal prosecutor, knows her stuff and, even better, knows how to translate it to fiction."

I didn't find the book the courtroom proceedings that believable, but evidently most people did.
Not a bad way to spend an evening, but perhaps (for me, at least) not the best way, either. I'll stick to John Lescroart for legal thrillers.
Fiction. Courtroom Drama/Mystery. 2012. 380 pages.
Sorry to see that this one didn't appeal to you. I am always on the lookout for a good courtroom drama and am finding fewer and fewer of them that seem all that realistic.
ReplyDeleteSam - My favorite courtroom series is Lescroart's Dismas Hardy series. The first one is Dead Irish; I haven't read that one yet, but will eventually. I've read all that the library has, though.
