Praise for the Stan Turner Mysteries
Dallas lawyer Stan Turner attracts his usual share of trouble and more in William Manchee’s Second Chair, the third in a series. Turner must fend off a lawsuit from his CPA’s widow, who blames him and his wife for her husband’s death, as well as defend a college student accused of murdering her newborn child. Appealing characters and lively dialogue, especially in the courtroom, make this an easy, entertaining read. Publisher's Weekly
Fall 2000. The courtroom scenes ... in Second Chair... are superb, intoxicating, the descriptions filled with power. The climax is shrewd and fits the modern American temperament of winning at all costs. Manchee, an attorney, spins a good plot, playing out the scenes slowly so that the reader is caught in the what-comes-next trap. Richly textured with wonderful atmosphere, the novel shows Manchee as a smooth, polished master of the mystery form. The Book Reader
