Snap Judgment (Samantha Brinkman Book 3) Kindle Edition by Marcia Clark

Book Excerpt:

In the third installment of Marcia Clark's bestselling series, attorney Samantha Brinkman's investigation into a family's deadly secrets is compromised by a threat from her past.

When the daughter of prominent civil litigator Graham Hutchins is found with her throat slashed, the woman's spurned ex-boyfriend seems the likely suspect. But only days later, the young man dies in what appears to be a suicide. Or was it? Now authorities are faced with a possible new crime. And their person of interest is Hutchins. After all, avenging the death of his daughter is the perfect reason to kill. If he's as innocent as he claims, only one lawyer has what it takes to prove it: his friend and colleague Samantha Brinkman.

Sam should trust her new client. Yet the deeper she digs on his behalf, the more entangled she becomes in a thicket of family secrets, past betrayals, and multiple motives for murder. To win her case, she's prepared to bend any law and cross any boundary that stands in her way. Sam has always played by her own rules, and it's ever worked…so far. But this case cuts so deep and so personal that one false move could cost her everything.

"Snap Judgment" by Marcia Clark

My Speculation:

We now have another book 3 'Snap Judgment' delivered to us well-written by this author in the Samantha Brinkman series. There will be some fascinating characters as we have Samantha, her legal staff, Michelle Fusco [Michy], Alex Medrano. Let's not leave out Sam's father, Dale Pearson, who was an LAPD Detective and other supporting intriguing cast that give us one heck of a good read. As we read in this series, there will be a who-dun-it as Sam represents a client who was the father of a murder victim, and working for a drug lord, a mobster who has 'something on her.'

Be ready for a little bit of it all as Sam dives into a case full of 'family secrets, past betrayals, ad multiple motives for murder.' It was a sheer delight seeing how this lawyer will 'maneuver around and turn the facts to her advantage.' One thing I did notice from the series was that this lawyer loved 'Patron Silver.' Ha Ha! Also, be ready for another long read that will keep you reading for a minute. Still, if one can hang in there, you will get a good read where this lawyer, Sam, will stay within the law. Where you get some twisting and a little implausible turn, but in the end, quite a satisfying story.
