I picked The Southern Lawyer off a list of Amazon series to meet one of the Kindle challenges. It is the first in a series that focus on Joe Hennessy, a lawyer who turned to wine making after a family tragedy. He is back to practicing law in Charleston to help save his winery. The first book finds Hennessy defending a local mob boss from the one crime he didn't commit. In addition, he is working to free a young woman accused of killing her boyfriend. Author Peter O'Mahoney weaves the two stories together and we discover the connections right along with Hennessy. The book is billed as an epic legal thriller and O'Mahoney does provide lots of details of the trials, which form the center of the narrative. ( ) no reviews | add a review
