The Case Against William by Mark Gimenez

 


Synopsis :

Criminal defense lawyers must make their peace with one harsh fact of life: most of their clients are guilty.

But when William Tucker, a celebrated and self-centered star college football player, is suddenly arrested and charged with the brutal rape and murder of a college coed two years before, his estranged father, Frank Tucker, a drunken, broken-down, beach-bum ex-criminal defense lawyer, cannot believe his son is guilty. No father can. So he must find a way to sober up and save his son from the death penalty sought by an ambitious district attorney. And father and son learn that only three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and a father's love for his son.


This is what I say :

Yes, it's yet another title by Mark  Gimenez. This time, it's The Case Against William which I read as an e-book towards end of 2020 and which I only finished reading a few days into 2021.

I must also confess that I do have this bad habit of reading titles by the same authors one after the other if I happen to enjoy what the author wrote. In this case, it started with The Common Lawyer which was very good and such, here we are.

The Case Against William wasn't too bad. It was not as nice as some of his other titles but certainly much better than some of his recent titles.

The characters are not too memorable, not that well developed and the storyline wasn't that interesting...I mean, the speed in which they found some evidences at the end are just too fictitious but then it is a fiction and the focus is more on the relationship between the father and son rather than anything else.  Other than that, I am not complaining.

It's a good start for the year.
