Now You're In Trouble, Here Comes My Solicitor! by Steven D. Coles

4.0
A lighthearted yet surprisingly powerful set of stories about legal cases in the English West Country.
"No You're In Trouble" follows Frank, a solicitor at a small firm in the West Country, where he represents clients in civil cases but occasionally in criminal ones. When I say "criminal," well, it's not exactly Al Capone-level crime. There are thefts and the occasional reference to assault or battery, but the spiciest crimes in the books involve a neighbor exposing himself in his backyard and the theft of a charity box from a lobby. Every story deals with its own case, or even a related pair of cases where both are resolved by the end. The people roped into them are entertainingly human, which was particularly entertaining where Frank and his eternally-tested patience were concerned.
Recommended for a cozy read, like a cross between a legal drama and a vintage BBC show like "All Creatures Great and Small."
Thank you to Matador and Netgalley for giving me a free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
