Mr. Ellsworth's Thaddeus Murfee stories require an unusual suspension of disbelief, but they're all very enjoyable potboilers. This one is no exception. Thaddeus is a lot like Superman. You know he's always going to come out all right in the end. The bad guys are really bad and the good guys are really good. That's the way this kind of story should be. If you want education instead of entertainment read Adam Smith or Edward Gibbon.Product details

Attorney at Large A Legal Thriller Thaddeus Murfee Legal Thriller Series Book 3 eBook John Ellsworth Reviews
Just finished. Couldn't put it down for more than the time it takes to rejuvenate the sitting still reading requires. The author is able to keep the tension alive even through the mundane necessities of daily living. A rare talent, indeed. I deign to compare him favorably to both Lee Child (action all the way) and Michael Connolly (details that make sense and tension for thrill) which nmeans he is my third go to writer.
I got this book because I had enjoyed the first book of this series. However, it fell far short of the first one and I was very disappointed. It was as if the author had lowered his standards and was writing to an average reader of middle school level. It was most disappointing to me. The book is about the sale of his casino and the abduction of his daughter, Sarai, Along with finding his sister, whom he represents on a Murder #1 case. All together, it sounded like a good story line and plot. He just never pulled it together, though, and he ended it with a lead in to his next book in this series. I really like stand-alone books, and I don't feel this one was. The typos started to really put me off, also. This is a book that I feel the author just threw out there and expected the readers he had gotten with his first of this series might go along with. I didn't. Although I paid a whole $.99 for this book, it really wasn't worth it! It is just too much fluff and too little thought.
Taking on the mob, the IRS, yet sensitive to the underdog. That's Thad Murfee. Trusting because he cares, and getting loyalty in return. The characters all play their part in making this jigsaw reveal a warm picture of a man who is resolute and determined to give others a break when no-one else cares.
While there are several sub-plots, they collectively build a composite of a man who goes out fighting but never losing his humanity. A heart of gold, he changes lives through compassion.
The narrative keeps you riveted with little to make it tedious. Crisp yet painting a comprehensive picture leaving nothing inconclusive. The end whets your appetite for the next installment, like a good read should.
There are a few typos which are slightly annoying but these don't detract from your reading pleasure. Highly recommended.
Thaddeas Murfee has sued the Mob and won their casino in LV. His sister,Kiki, is evicted for counting deemed "unfair" because it gives the player a real chance against the odds of winning. As she is leaving, two players follow her and get uncomfortably close. She warns them and there is a shot. One of the two is fatally shot. Thaddeus takes her case, Meanwhile a contract kidnapper is planning to abduct Thaddeas' daughter.
Frankly, none of this looks the stuff of happy endings, and of course what the reader is looking for is a credible and smart "happy outcome"
This is the first book I have read by Mr. Ellsworth and it was satisfyingly fast moving and exciting that overall it was an enjoyable read.
I gave it four stars because the starting point was interesting and I wanted to know what happened-although a happy ending was more than likely
Books have to be written so well that an added dimension of "observation, perception or a combination of many skills" combine to make a
particularly good and enjoyable read.
To give an example-I'm nearing the end of Ian Rankin's "The Falls" and have no idea whodunnit. Or indeed if anything was actually done. Nailbiting and interesting! One fears the worst and hopes for the best, and it is impossible not to be concerned that the central figure's problems might scupper his investigation and/or his career. A likeable cop? Not really, A funny guy? A cunning cop? And so on...
I think he's a five but not everyone does. We all have our yardsticks of performance and the final score is a compromise. Even writers who normally tell a tale well sometimes offend or bore. I don't think Mr Ellsworth will do either-certainly this book was enjoyable
The more I read in this series, the more I like it, although I still have a problem with Thad having mountains of money. Yes, he spends it freely to help others and it gives him the ability to do anything he wants but to some extent, it gives the impression that money can fix everything (A million dollar retainer? Here’s a check. Need some pocket money? Here’s five grand.). It’s nice but it doesn’t work that way in the real world.
Thad’s facing three major problems here – his estranged sister is charged with first-degree murder and the attorney he hired for her has just been disbarred, Thad himself is under indictment for tax fraud, and the mob wants back the casino he took from them in a lawsuit. But Thad settles the tax fraud and murder issues in no time. What the mob does to get back what it feels is its due is the scariest part of the novel but even that climax is resolved too quickly. I would have liked to see the outcome a little more in doubt before success arrived.
At least Thad’s love life seems to be sorting itself out.
There’s a good mix of thrills, day-to-day life, and legal stuff here to satisfy almost everyone. There is however, a bit too much of how a casino works in this book for my taste. It’s nice but not necessary information.
I’m not really a big fan of legal thrillers. I read them but never actively seek them out the way I hunt for books in other genres. The only legal thrillers that automatically go on my ‘To Read’ list are Michael Connelly’s Mickey Haller books. I grab those books as soon as I can.
Now there’s a second entry on that list – John Ellsworth’s Thad Murfee series.
Mr. Ellsworth's Thaddeus Murfee stories require an unusual suspension of disbelief, but they're all very enjoyable potboilers. This one is no exception. Thaddeus is a lot like Superman. You know he's always going to come out all right in the end. The bad guys are really bad and the good guys are really good. That's the way this kind of story should be. If you want education instead of entertainment read Adam Smith or Edward Gibbon.
