The Common Lawyer by Mark Gimenez

 

Synopsis :

A mother in New York sneaks her young daughter out of a research hospital. A billionaire philanthropist in Texas fights to save his dying son at all costs. A young traffic-ticket lawyer in Austin named Andy Prescott runs his legal empire out of a tiny office above a tattoo parlor and dreams of being a rich lawyer. Five lives on separate paths—until Andy defends the billionaire's secretary against a speeding ticket. Their lives become fatefully intertwined, destined to intersect—in death. And Andy Prescott learns that a client can be too rich for his lawyer’s own good.

This is what I say :

Right after reading The Con Law, I quickly picked up The Common Lawyer.  It was the smart thing to do as The Common Lawyer reminds me of why I first like reading titles by Mark Gimenez.  This book reminds me a bit of the old Scott Fenney's title (also by the same author) and it was an exciting read from the first page to the last page.  When a book captivated my attention, it doesn't take me two months to read this..for this title, I read it in probably about 5 days.

I like the main character, Andy Prescott.  I like the people in his circle of contact, his landlord, the tattoo artist, his homeless friend, the war hero, his buddies and even his dad and mum are strong supportive characters that really added interesting titbits to the book.

This will probably be the last book that I will be reviewing this year and I am glad it's a title by an author that I like and it's a title that I enjoyed readying.  Will continue to have faith in Mark Gimenez and will certainly keep an eye for his other titles that I have not read.

I read this title as an ebook.
