Typically, I'm not drawn to novels covering the law or legal battles, but the synopsis of this book made me curious. Glad I took a chance on this one! One honest, young and struggling lawyer joins a firm whose activities suddenly become clouded by suspicion, and the young lawyer eventually becomes aware of the massively compromised dealings of the senior staff with whom he's now teamed. The choices he makes will obviously have a huge impact on his legal career, so he must carefully analyze his various courses of action. Intelligent, well-written glimpse into labyrinthine law.

A fast paced novel, with a clever mystery at its core! I've read a number of books by this author before and A matter of Will did not disappoint.

Will Matthews is a young man newly come to New York from a rural area with the intention of rising up in the corporate world making both money and a name for himself. He landed a job with a huge brokerage house but after two years of beating the bushes cold calling for prospects he finds himself on the verge of being fired for lack of productivity. But Will's luck turns when he gets a ticket to see a hockey game at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan and finds himself sitting next to Sam Abaddon and his girlfriend. Sam who is an extrovert strikes up a conversation with Will which results in a friendship and a golden find for him. Sam turns out to be very wealthy and decides to invest a great deal of money with Will. He does and Will's fortunes do a one eighty. Not only with Sam, but with a group of Sam's wealthy friends. At the same time Will meets the girl of his dreams Gwen Lipton, and it looks like his life has turned out for the much, much better.
But, things change completely when Will witnesses an act of extreme violence and becomes caught up in criminal activity when finding out where Sam actually gets his money from. Gwen, who is a rising attorney in a large law firm decides that she cannot have her own career jeopardized by Will's problems dumps him completing the misery now permeating his life.
Mr Mitzner proves himself a master at fleshing out the characters in his novels and this book is no exception to the rule. The ending is a good one and provides the means for Will and Gwen getting back together. Based on the characters described by the author the finale is one that would be appropriate for them and the novel.

Mr. Mitzner never fails to entertain in his books. This one is simply delicious.
Great characters, plot line, details of wealth and so much more.
Absolutely a must read.

I liked the writing style a great deal. We sort of know what will happen to Will when by chance he meets the enigmatic wealthy man at a sporting event-but, it is a train wreck you cannot stop yourself from watching.
Will is likable and very naive but you want things to work out for him and his girlfriend Gwen right from the get go. I highly recommend -I especially liked the ending.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for a chance to read and review.

“A Matter of Will” is a great book filled with adventure, subterfuge, romance, collusion, murder, profiteering, and more. The author brought all this together in a very exciting story. Will is struggling as a Wall Street broker. Winning Sam’s business answers Will’s prayers, skyrocketing Will into the world of money and luxury. Soon his wonderful new existence turns into a nightmare as the truth emerges and his complicity in criminal activity becomes excruciatingly clear. Great story with good character development. I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

“A Matter of Will” is a great book filled with action, intrigue, romance, conspiracies, murder, racketeering, money laundering, and more. If that sounds like an impossibility, rest asssured that the author has woven together a tale that fits all these ingredients together seamlessly in an exciting story featuring a really nice Everyman protagonist named Will Matthews. Will, after meeting Sam and Eve “by chance” at a Devils-Rangers game soon finds himself in a Wonderland of high finance. When murders drag will even further into the rabbit hole, his girlfriend leaves him, and he wonders if he’ll ever escape back to a real life.
