I really enjoyed the first Sasha McCandless story, but this one was an even better. If you like legal thrillers, forget higher-priced Grisham and read Melissa F Miller - you won't be disappointed.
Sasha is a diminutive lawyer who gets inadvertently gets involved in adventures associated with her legal work. This time Sasha has left the large legal firm where she served her apprenticeship and has set up on her own. During the course of a minor court appearance in a rural community outside of her home base of Pittsburgh she is cornered by the local Judge to represent an old man to prevent State guardianship for senility. This brings her into the middle of a previously peaceful rural community which has been invaded by shale oil gas developers, with associated environmantal activists and corrupt locals putting pressure on senior citizens to share in the financial bonanza.
This time Sasha's skills as an attorney take precedence over here powerful self-defence skills. She is involved in a developing relationship with Leo Connelly, who she met in "Irreparable Harm", who continues to provide counsel and assistance from his sources as a Federal Agent.
The plot is action-filled, page-turning and mostly believable. While there were a couple of lost threads in the plot and the finale was a bit quick and confused, I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend the book.
I am looking forward to the next Sasha McCandless book and have registered with Melissa F Miller's website to be told when it is released.
