(More customer reviews)When his law firm downsizes, Joe McGuiness worries none of the other firms in town might accept him. An average student, this opportunity had been a godsend. His girl friend, on the other hand, is ready to celebrate his possible layoff, longing to move to San Diego where he can accept a position with her father. Although he narrowly escapes the threat of layoff, Joe soon has much bigger concerns.
A rodeo accident left Joe's horse dead and his shoulder severely injured. He returns to riding to participate in a team-roping event with Reilly, his best buddy since law school. Unfortunately, rodeo does not compete with the glittery world his girl friend would prefer, making Mia Ortiz that much more attractive when he meets her. Their immediate connection and common interests seem promising, until they return from their first date and she is arrested for murder.
Twist Phelan brings her deft skill of resolving complexities in the courtroom to her first novel, HEIR APPARENT. Her background as a lawyer and as an athlete lend HEIR APPARENT a convincing reality even as she weaves a tale filled with surprising twists and convolutions. The novel begins at a measured pace, creating a world that cleverly overlaps the world of a law firm with the world of rodeo cowboys. Rich characterizations provide an abundance of suspects that will keep readers guessing. Especially memorable are Joe's first girl friend with the perfect white tennis shoes, Trudy who wears politically incorrect t-shirts to work, and lawyer Jerry Dan who argues the Doppler effect as an excuse for running a red light. Very highly recommended.
