Tropical Deception by David Myles Robinson

Series:  A Pancho McMartin Legal Thriller #4 

Rating:★★★ 

Recommend: Yes


Goodreads Synopsis

With some $200 million sunk into a real estate development on Kauai, the investment partners have a lot to lose if attorney Peter Roosevelt succeeds in stopping the project for the sake of preserving Hawaii's environment. When Roosevelt is found dead in his home, a suspect is quickly arrested and becomes the latest, and possibly toughest, challenge for Honolulu's top criminal defense attorney, Pancho McMartin.

There is an abundance of suspicious characters for Pancho to focus on, but everyone but his client has an alibi. The suspense is high as Pancho is forced to go to trial without a good defense. He takes risks which don't pay off. His client is angry and threatens malpractice. Pancho is in an untenable position as time is running out.


Review

This book wasn’t for me but that isn’t because the book was bad. I loved the characters and the pacing was good.The writing was good too, it just I couldn’t get into the legal side of the book.Maybe if I started with book one then it might have turned out a little different for me.  I know plenty of people in my life that would love this book and I will be recommending this book to them. Pancho McMartin is a good strong character and I enjoyed that, along with the side characters. I do have to say if you need to escape to somewhere warmer then you really should pick up this book and if you love legal drama then really pick up this book. I also think fans for Hawaii Five-0 would love this book, both the old and new TV series.

When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead. Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over. But Wallace isn't ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo's help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life. When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days. By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this absorbing tale of grief and hope is told with TJ Klune's signature warmth, humor, and extraordinary empathy. Review: I don't know how to put into words how much I loved this book and I read it at the perfec

Fallen by Linda Castillo

  This book had me hooked from page one and I couldn't stop, but I had to cause you know sleep lol. I have never really enjoyed Amish books but this one change my mind. I might have to try more and I will definitely be reading more from Linda Castillo, plus the rest of this series. As this being the 13th book in the series, I wasn't confused and still understood what was going on. To me it read more like a standalone and could read without reading the rest. I want to think Linda Castillo and Minotaur Books for letting read and review this book. I want also think Tandem Collective Global for hosting a readalong over on Instgram, I had so much fun.
