Author Peter O’Mahoney has grown into a favorite of mine. He’s capable of writing across multiple genres equally well, which helps to keeps things fresh. The Southern Lawyer is the first instalment in a legal thriller series featuring Joe Hennessy, who is forced to return to lawyering to make ends meet after having walked away for twenty years. Suffice to say that not one, but two compelling cases land in his lap to welcome him back. As always, Mr. Mahoney uses setting to add richness and depth to a story that is filled with unexpected twists and turns right to the end. The characters are well-drawn, the writing is crisp and breezy, and I found myself grateful that there was a second Joe Hennessy novel waiting after I reluctantly turned the final page of The Southern Lawyer.
