The trail leads straight web of fraud, theft, ambition—and a motive worth killing to protect.When this was recorded, Guilty by Association was not out. I am going to share a few excerpts from reviews of the first book, Murder on Site, that talk to the storytelling style."Perfect pacing, memorable characters, and liberal doses of danger and deception -- and humor -- will keep readers thoroughly entertained and engaged. Highly recommend." - Hall Ways Blog"I loved how the story kept making me question what justice actually means following the law or doing what is right. Overall, this book feels like one of those hidden gems which is fast-paced, thought-provoking, and hard to put down." - Sudeshna Blogs"Great characters and an intriguing murder mystery land this book on my list of top books of the year! While the subject, a tragic murder, is serious, the author works quite a bit of humor into the story through dialogue. I happily read this book in one sitting, riveted by its pages." - Guatemala Paula Loves to ReadGuilty by Association is the 2nd book in the Rizk Brothers Legal Mysteries series.
