Title:
Every Reasonable Doubt
Author: PamelaSamuels Young
Review: This is the first of four Vernetta Henderson legal
thrillers. A violent death takes place
in the prologue and the story only builds from there. As the tale is spun out sufficient information
is provided for the reader to form their own opinion as to the guilt or
innocence of the victim's wife who is on trial for his murder. A second murder, counsel infighting,
inexperience and marital problems trouble the defense team. But can justice be achieved to the
satisfaction of all involved. That is something that can only be decided, by
the reader, after reading this well written story. I would rate this at five stars and look
forward to reading the other three books in the series.
Thanks Frank for this review.

Why I
Read this Title: I like murder mysteries.
Synopsis:
Determined to become the first African-American partner at one of LA.'s
most prestigious law firms, employment attorney Vernetta Henderson is thrilled
when she's tapped to defend a prominent socialite accused of
murder--"until she learns that Neddy McClain will try the case with her.
The only other African-American attorney at the firm, Neddy is hot-tempered and
distant, making a complex case even tougher to handle. But the women vow to put
aside their differences to prove the client's innocence. Coping with the
mounting pressures of defending a high-profile murder case proves challenging,
and as the case starts to garner media attention, Vernetta has no choice but to
spend more time in the office. Vernetta's new husband, Jefferson, unwittingly
adds more stress to the mix. He is anxious to start a family, a venture she
isn't quite ready to undertake. Tired of being placed on the backburner,
Jefferson's patience begins to wear thin. As Vernetta's professional life
dangerously intrudes upon her personal life, she soon comes to realize that
providing a client with the best possible defense could come at a very high price.
A victory on the case should be sweet, but how will it be without the man she
loves by her side?
