I usually don't read legal thrillers, but I really enjoyed this book. It was hard to put down.

3.5* Entertaining read. Given it is the 1st book in the series, I will give book two a read in the near future. Sasha is a likeable character. Fast paced and a quick read.

Fun legal thriller set in Pittsburgh. The plot was engaging and Sasha was a likable protagonist. Overall a fun read.

This is a fun, suspenseful story and the main character is intriguing and admirable. As a lawyer, I also appreciate how the legal aspects of the book are pretty realistic; I think the author is a lawyer too, so that makes sense. I look forward to the next installment in the series. The only downside is that the Kindle version seems to have a number of editing errors. Nonetheless, the errors did not detract too much from my enjoyment of the story.

I enjoyed this book. Knowing it's the first in a series, Miller took care to establish characters and relationships that'll no doubt be featured in future books. It was pretty predictable, but, for a first in the series, the development of characters was so well done, I'll give extra credit.
I did not like the Audible narrator. Also, if you get the Audible version, be aware that the word freaking or screw is used in the written prose, while the F word is used in the Audible version. It was a little shocking since I had read much of the book before going to Audible, and hadn't seen the profanity.

Decent law thriller. Definitely kept me interested, but not as good as some I have read. Might pick up the second book in the series.

Reminiscent of John Grisham and Stephanie Plum, Sarah McCandless is a lawyer and a detective. When a client’s commercial jet crashes into a mountain, Sarah is part of the team assigned to defend the client from the expected law suits. Aside from being a rising star at a large firm, Sarah has a secret. In her very limited spare time, she has become something of a martial arts expert.
Both her legal skills and her martial arts are put to the test, when her boss is murdered and she is put in charge, with the result that several violent people target her. One of the minor joys of this book is watching various people underestimating the small, five-foot tall woman, only to discover how dangerous she is after it is too late.
If you like a good mystery, law firm politics, really smart and violent female protagonists, this book is for you. Fortunately, this is the first book in a series.
I received this Kindle book for free on Amazon. I expect you can too.
