Yes, yes, yes!! I wish these would be made into TV series because I'd be absolutely hooked. Its a fast paced legal thriller which had me unable to put it down. Really well written and I was completely captivated needing to know how it was going to play out

The book is really engaging and it is fast paced. It’s a legal thriller and the author never disappoints. If you are looking for a traditional court procedural crime thriller, this is for you.

So this is a third book in A Rain City Legal Thriller. It can be read as standalone too. Adam Harper hires Attorney Daniel Raine as he wants to take full control of his family’s company by declaring his father mentally unfit but the unfortunate news of Bill Harper’s death arrives and it puts Adam under suspicion. Maybe his death has something to do with Adam. But that is not the only issue, the day Adam filed the lawsuit, the will was changed and now Mark, Adam’s brother will inherit the company. But soon the news of Mark’s death also arrives and he died the same way his dad died but it is not easy to predict the killer. Has Adam killed his Father and brother? or Is there a third person benefiting from the lawsuit?

The truth is twisted and Adam and his father had flawed relationship. I love how the author expresses the character’s true intentions. The book is so twisted and unputdownable.

I am grateful to Netgalley, Author, and Publisher for giving me opportunity to read this book.

This was a good story which kept me turning the pages throughout the night. Great mystery, writing and plotting will recommend to all my friends who love this genre.

This book was very fast read. Keeps you turning the pages to see what craziness is happening next ,even if it is a little far fetch.
Thanks NetGalley for advance copy.

The Survival Rule😳

Wow, I really enjoyed this story!

Dan is once again teamed up with Sommers when an unusual client crosses his path. Sommers the “real estate expert” helps out a little with her connections and contacts, but for the most part Dan is the one doing all the work😉

Dan also meets Sawyer, the new lawyer in town and attempts to date, post divorce but unfortunately, dead bodies keep dropping every time they try😢 The Survival Rule, the law itself was a new one for me but the other concepts I did know from doing my own law degree. I figured out the “who” close to the end but not the “why”….but that’s okay, perhaps the next one my detective hat will be more firmly in place.

I received an advanced copy from Netgalley and willingly leave my honest review🤩

This is a legal series I’ve really enjoyed, this latest case featuring attorney Daniel Raine ends with murder and is full of surprises. Daniel has a solo practice and is still adjusting to life after divorce, weekends with his daughter and perhaps dating. The setting is in Seattle, a place I’d love to visit but – the interminable rain, not for me. Raine occasionally uses his acquaintance with a stunning local commercial real estate agent, Rebecca. She’s in the know and has networking abilities Daniel doesn’t have. Rebecca has connections with many prominent business leaders in the area. They make an interesting team investigating cases. Raine’s newest client is suing his elderly father for control of the family real estate development and construction business. It’s always complicated with a family business as Daniel discovers on a first date which ends with death and the police. Then he faces off in court against a law school adversary, Zac Chapman. Zac had once fancied the attention of Dan’s now Ex-wife. As the case winds it’s way through the court system there are many hidden motives, secrets and lies. I have been fascinated with our legal system for many years. I especially enjoy this author’s focus on specific laws or rules in his plots, I always learn something new. This story kept me riveted to the pages trying to outguess the outcome. Another legal maze with a great plot by an author I will keep reading.
Thanks to NetGalley for the digital advance reader copy of “The Survival Rule” By Stephen Penner, and to Inkubator Books. These are all my own honest personal thoughts and opinions given voluntarily without compensation.

Another fantastic book by Stephen! The Rain City series is fast becoming one of my favourites, even though I typically don't read this kind of genre of books. That being said the author has a way with words that sucks you into the story and keeps you on the edge of your seat Just like the previous book in this serious, it's thrilling, enticing and leaves you wanting more!

When a son goes against his father to seize his business, you have the start of a good story. Throw in accusations of senility and a couple of dead bodies, and the story ramps up. Then you bring in the lawyers to get a quick-paced, “gotta read” courtroom drama.
