The Lawyer's Lawyer

The Lawyer's Lawyer is the third and final (as of writing) book in the Jack Tobin series. James Sheehan also wrote The Alligator Man which features Tom Wylie from this book, and takes place in the same setting, chronologically after this, with a brief mention of Tobin and contains spoilers about the outcome of this novel.

In this installment we see Jack Tobin convinced to take on a serial killer's death row case by the advocacy group he works with, Exoneration. Initially Jack is not too keen on taking on a case where the client may not be innocent, but is convinced to review the file and finds glaring problems with the prosecutions case.

This leads to a rather enthralling chain of events that eventually sees Jack facing first degree show more murder charges and finding for his freedom in court.

As with the last installment, the writing style has continued to develop and I found this to be the best of all three, to the point that I ended up reading it cover to cover in one day putting off sleep to finish it off.

Whilst it's possible to read this on its own, you'd definitely benefit from reading the first two books in the series first which give a great deal of depth to the characters. show less
