DESCRIPTION:
"Motion to Kill - a good mystery" according to MikeH. Attorney Lou Mason is ordered to destroy incriminating files by a senior law partner, who soon turns up dead in a boating incident. When Sheriff Kelly Holt determines it was murder, it looks like Mason will be the killer's next target. He teams up with Sheriff Holt to help solve the case while trying to avoid getting killed himself. Meanwhile, the killer leaves a trail of bodies through Mason's law firm.Book 1 of the Lou Mason series is a very readable murder mystery with good char. A smart-ass lawyer who almost stumbles on a solution Keith Benjamin Lou Mason is a lawyer who tries to be smart with one-liners, but more likely to end with egg on his face. Yet, he is relentless in his pursuit of answers. Friendships and loyalty wrestle within him, but it is truth that emerges the victor.Romance plays a minor role, but not the world of relationships. The intricate web of relationships is cleverly woven into the story and ultimately it is about relationships that govern the characters' responses. For Mason, truth supersedes the val. "NOT comparable to Michael Connelly" according to Jheart. Goldman is a lawyer so I suppose the legal issues in the plot are authentic. Beyond that, his writing is full of cliches, his dialog ranges from ho hum to juvenile, and his main character rarely behaves or thinks like an adult - more like a smart ass college freshman. I suspect Goldman writes fast and lets the words spill from his brain with very little attempt at craftsmanship. Comparing him to Michael Connelly is like comparing airplane food to fine dining. No more Goldman books
