Up and Coming Legal Thriller Authors.

[Michael]

Has anyone read any legal thrillers recently written by new authors you can recommend. I am looking for a new book to read. Any suggestions?

[Belle]

Have you gone through the bookshelf?

[Melissa]

I just finished "The Mental Case" by John Ellsworth who was new to me. I would certainly read more of his books.

[Renee]

It doesn't spend a lot of time in the courtroom, but Forty Acres was pretty great. There are two lawyers at the center of it all and it presents some interesting questions, but it's also a great thriller.

Read COLLISION COURSE, by Joe Broadmeadow. You won't be disappointed.

Hi Belle,

Yes I have. I put all the books on the shelf. I am looking for anything that may have come out just recently. I should have put that in my original post.

[Michael]

I'll add The Mental Case, Forty Acres and Collision Course to the shelf. Thanks for the suggestions.

Michael,have you read "Death On A High Floor"?by Charles Rosenburg.

[Michael]

No, I haven't. Let me check it out.

Got to love John Lescroart.

I love, love, love John Lescroart. He has so many wonderful characters, and I love how he has created spinoff novels using Wes, Abe, and others as lead characters. Diz is my favorite, though.

[David]

Lescroart isn't exactly an "up-and-coming" author. He's been around for some time.

[Marian]

No sorry..he isn't.BUT..he's still a great writer:)

[Pete]

To riff off a line from Erma Bombeck, I thought I was up and coming until I got up and went.

Do you think Lescroart is a common name in the thriller genre? I have heard from other people that they don't know his works.

He is on my legal thriller TBR and I am going to nominate one of his in the August BOTM:

The Color of Law

LOL! My favorite is free, second favorite is $.99, third is Kindle Unlimited. I was so excited to buy Disclaimer on a 1-day sale for $1.99!

Thanks for the head's up on The Common Lawyer - I snagged it too. I read The Perk a few months back and was able to interview Mark Gimenez about my publishing path. He was really generous with his time. I really liked The Perk partly because it was set in Fredericksburg (near Austin where I live). It had a good plot and interesting characters.

I recommend Mark Pryor. I particularly liked The Reluctant Matador and have The Bookseller on my to read list. His Hugo Marston is a security guy at the American Embassy in Paris and travels around Europe solving mysteries - thriller/mystery combo. Pryor is an assistant D.A. here in Austin. Happy Reading.
