'Misjudged' is an excellent first book to James Chandler's Sam Johnstone series. Sam is a lawyer who has had a hard time making a go of it due to suffering from horrible PTSD accumulated during his service in war - and also costing him the loss of a leg and triggering severe alcoholism. Listening to Johnstone defend a man who is charged with murder and how it propels him to try to get back on track is inspiring. His client's life is on the line and without competent representation he knows he wi...
I think I have stumbled upon a series with potential to really entertain with some meat to the mysteries that unfold. This is the first book and we meet a main character with a truckload of baggage from his time as an active serviceman in the military who comes back with not only physical scars, but deep mental/emotional scars as well. After blowing up his life in DC, he finds himself with one last chance to pull his life together and practice law in a small town in Wyoming which he promptly sta...
“Misjudged” started out kind of iffy, but gradually got better and better. It turned out to be a solid effort. The author writes about my home state and I have lived in “Custer” though he says it is not Gillette, but rather a combination of small towns in Wyoming. (There really aren’t big towns in Wyoming unless you are a native like me and then Cheyenne and Casper fit the bill.) So, I may be a little more critical than some folks, but he does a pretty good job describing the life and feel. The
I rarely write a book review. Consider this an exception. This was ONE HELL OF A GOOD BOOK. After somewhat of a slow start introducing the players in the story, it took off swiftly and was an excellent read. Now I have to wait until the middle of February '21 to read One and Done #2. James Chandler is a very good story teller. He kept me in the dark for a very long time and that is the way I can appreciate a good book.I am suggesting that you don't waste the opportunity to read a book that you h...
Sam is an amazing lawyer and does a wonderful job. He has his own life problems to deal with. Through all this, he still tries hard to help. Can’t wait for the next.
Strong story, with realistic people who all make mistakes. One juror was more significant than she seemed when first introduced, the one with a "mouth like a cat's ass"! There were a few problematic points in the telling, but in the end they could be considered not to be exculpable (how about that legal phrase). I'll probably get around to reading more of Mr. Johnstone.
Sam Johnstone became a lawyer after losing a leg while serving in the military. His PTSD has cost him his job in Washington DC and he agrees to join a law firm in a small Wyoming town. He somewhat reluctantly agrees to defend a former marine who is accused of murder. He must defend his client while navigating through small town corruption, the town’s perception that his client is already guilty and his own battle with PTSD and addiction. This wasn’t a bad book on the whole. It was interesting en...
Gets you fired upI spent from about halfway through the book to the end mad at one character or another. I don't know whether the author James Chandler wrote it that way or not, but it successfully kept me reading as fast as I could to find out what happens in Misjudged: A Legal Thriller that is surprisingly Chandler's first book.Unfortunately, I spent a good portion of the first half of the book annoyed. I blame it on the way it was written and not on my personal reading preferences. I had a di...
A look behind a Wyoming murder investigation and trial.
A good “penny and dime” courtroom drama novel. Good summertime read.
Just finished the book and LOVED IT! It started a little slow because it was bringing characters to view, then it took off. Loved the descriptions of the characters and could picture them in my mind as they appeared in the book. Once I really got into the book, couldn’t put it down. Excellent writing and can’t wait for One and Done to come out in print. Guess I’m old fashioned, but like a book in my hand rather than reading electronically. Thank you James Chandler!!
