Good Lieutenant, the sixth, and final, book in the Jersey Girl Legal Mystery series by E. J. Cooperman will not only have you smiling…and many times even laughing out loud because this author is well gifted in the language of “snark”.…but also takes you on an entwined ride of “Who Done It”. As with his previous books in this series, E. J. Cooperman kept me guessing until the unexpected conclusion.

Sandy et al return to defend Lt Trench…who is more Spock (Star Trek) like than Spock himself…who she seems to understand and have a soft spot for. With Sandy’s trademark snarkily hilarious inner monologue, a whip-smart dialogue, and charming/captivating characters, the story is quick-paced and engaging. Being the last installment in Sandy’s series, made this story even more poignant…and it was tied up quite nicely, leaving everyone in the best places possible.

This ARC book was complimentary…provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

While settling into her new home in Los Angeles together with her boyfriend and TV star Patrick McNabb, attorney Sandy Moss receives a phone call from the LA Men’s Detention Center. It’s a new client accused of murder: the near-stoic Lt. K.C. Trench! Good book!! I definitely enjoyed reading this one! This book has suspense, murder, mystery, intrigue, bad cops, good cops and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I was very interested in the premise of this book. If Suits meets anything, sign me up! I went into this book without reading the previous series and didn't feel lost. A few of my issues with this book are that a few times throughout, it felt like the author was going into more detail than needed about law technicalities. At times, the characters and their dialogue seemed immature for their age, and Sandy could come off as a little naive about how far along she should be in her profession as a lawyer. Other than that, the storyline was good, the pacing was great, and it was a quick read that would be good for a vacation or a cozy weekend at home.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
