What's It About?
Under the tutelage of Stone Barrington, Herbie Fisher has transformed from a bumbling sad sack into the youngest partner at the white-shoe law firm Woodman & Weld, and a man whose company is in high demand both because of his professional acumen and his savoir faire. But even his newly won composure and finely honed skills can’t prepare him for the strange escapade he’s unwittingly pulled into, and which—unbeknownst to him—has put him at the center of a bull’s-eye. In the city that never sleeps there are always devious schemes afoot, and Herbie will have to be quick on his feet to stay one step ahead of his enemies...and they’re closing in.
What Did I Think?
There were parts of the book that I really enjoyed...like the courtroom scene where poor Herbie, who has never tried a criminal case in his entire career, but is helping out a sick friend, is trying to convince his inherited client to take the plea deal that his lawyer friend had set up and thought would be a no-brainer. Other than that and a few more it was just another Stone Barrington novel. Same characters...same richer than God people who are beginning to come across as unbearable snobs. I like Stone Barrington and Dino but I expected the Herbie Fisher first book to carry more independence...like the first Teddy Fay book. That was excellent and I look forward to more of Teddy. Herbie should go back to his corporate office and work on bank and tax fraud.
