could this book have been better if I wasn’t in the legal field? Perhaps.
Plot was pretty decent, writing was meh (“and the lawyer listened.” ????? What), but there’s no way this was realistic, Charlie would be disbarred.

If you’re gonna do fiction based on real life, get the details right!!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I enjoyed this story and found that it moved along. At the beginning, I found it a little confusing with the introduction of all of the characters, but sorted it out in fairly short order. Overall, I found Charlie's growth, both personally and as an attorney, to have a nice ring and to make for a good story progression. I liked the main character and hope to see more of him in upcoming books.

I enjoyed this standalone thriller from Phillip Margolin, although I hesitate in calling it a "thriller" as it was lacking in suspense. It was more of a crime mystery that unraveled well but had an abundance of characters to keep up with. The narrator was pleasant to listen to and did a good job. My thanks to McMillan Audio for providing an audiobook for review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

An Insignificant Case is a new stand-alone thriller by Phillip Margolin. Charlie Webb is the new kid on the block. Fresh out of law school and working on court-appointed cases to survive. One day he is assigned a robbery case that changes the course of his life.

This novel felt like two books in one. The beginning started strong, and 60% in felt like we started a sequel. The ending wrapped up a little too quickly and I think this could have worked as the start of a new series following Charlie Webb. Overall it was enjoyable just not my favorite Phillip Margolin.
