First Do No Harm

The ever popular Tug Wyler returns for more drama–both in and out of the courtroom—in Jenna’s Case. I really like this particular attorney. Humor, a bit of self deprecation, especially with one of his favorite sentences, “At least I admit it…” add to his charm. After all, he is a lawyer, doing the best for his clients while trying very hard to stay on the right side of the law.

His assistant Lily is still around too, at least until she leaves suddenly because her mother has a cough. After a decade working with the successful malpractice/injury attorney, the two have a unique relationship.

Which may be why Tug understands when he learns what she has done. Both characters are so likable, their give and take on who is really in control, their dialogue. The humor found will make you smile. A good thing when the case circumstances are usually tragic.

Jenna’s case will shock you as the details reveal.

* The young teen, Jenna, whose surgery goes terribly awry.
* A doctor who takes advantage..
* A cruel and criminal stepfather directing her choices.

Until Tug Wyler takes her case. That, however, is only the beginning of the difficulty. The investigation puts Tug, Jenna and any associated with them in serious danger. As secrets are revealed, the reader grows more horrified, right along with Tug. Discovering lies all around the case doesn’t help. Then comes the dramatic trial. The risk grows the more determined Tug becomes. To get justice for Jenna could cost his life.

Meanwhile, he is also representing a criminal who broke his leg–a referral from his friend/mentor, Henry Benson.

Tug Wyler shows the need for injury/malpractice lawyers. For all the scoffing they receive, the names called —such as ambulance chasers—Tug only takes on legit cases. Or at least that is his preference. With his mentor Henry referring clients to him it’s not easy staying on that track. Such is the case with the mob boss referred to him.

The book is a fast, enjoyable read. In this case you are somewhat glad it isn’t too long because you can’t wait to see how justice will play out. You’ll be cheering for Tug. As with Nelly’s Case, this one leaves me wanting more.

It’s a very enjoyable, righteous series!

Again this book by this author does not disappoint, filled with suspense moments and a very thrilling ending. The character are very realistic and the writing and stories has a very human ring to them. My only regret is that the story has a little bit of a pulp element starting to come through. A good and enjoyable book all the same.
