How to Kill a Client
Joanna Jenkins
Reviewed by Helen
WOW what an awesome debut, this one will pull the reader in from page one, it is fast paced and takes the reader into the world of a big law firm in Brisbane, filled predominately with male lawyers with big egos, misogyny is rife, but will it all come crashing down around their ears when a major client is dead from a heart attack at thirty nine?
Howard Greene is one of the biggest law firms in Australia there are few female partners in this firm Viv being one of them in the Brisbane office, she is working on a strategy for a new mine that is going to open and this mining company is Howard Greene’s biggest client, Gavin Jones is the representative for them and what an misogynist such a nasty piece of work, when he insists that Viv be taken of the job, Viv has lots of different thoughts as to what to do with him
Ruth a partner in the Sydney office arrives and instantly she can see that things are not going as well here as they should be, she has the ear of the big boss but this time he is not listening and when Gavin is found dead and the police start investigation, Ruth also does her own investigating and what she uncovers will blow the lid on what has been happening in this office, the finger pointing starts, but who did murder Gavin Jones, the client? I had no idea till the end.
This story is filled with awesome characters good and bad and MS Jenkins has bought them to life on the pages, she has pulled me into the story she had me cheering the good guys one and had me stunned at what length some men will go to, too get what they want they have no thoughts about anyone but themselves, such greed and power, this is an awesome story that I highly recommend, huge congrats MS Jenkins on a fabulous debut.
My thanks to Allen & Unwin AU for my copy to read and review.
