Excellent New Author
Rating:
5 / 5
I picked up this book while browsing in a local book store, and I was hooked from Page 1. The characters are so true-to-life that I felt like I had to say good-bye to co-workers and friends when I finished the last page. This author is equal in every way, and a little better in some ways, than John Grisham. I am very excited to see that Mr. Schaffer has written a sequel to Misdemeanor Man. I have read the excerpt, and once again I am hooked; doomed to not wash a dish or a load of laundry once I start Book #2 until its completion.
A new talent

5 / 5
This guy can "write". Characters, plot development, humor, pace and knowledge of the public defenders job all contribute to a great read. I look forward to his next book.
One of the year's best debuts

Gordon Seegerman is an apathetic public defender whose niche is defending people accused of, you guessed it, misdemeanors. What he really cares about, though, is his role as the lead singer of a Barry Manilow tribute band. He's caught up in a case that requires all his abilities when a nebbish of an accountant gets arrested for wagging his willie in a department store. Schaffer writes with a sly wit and a wonderful gift for characters. This is one of the year's best debuts!
