Summary
After a fall-out with his business partner and a breakup with his girlfriend， lawyer Sam Johnstone thinks a long vacation might be just what the doctor ordered。
Before he can quit town Sam gets a call from Lucy Beretta， the wife of the missing local college president。 With a shocking accusation against an acquaintance and a plea for protection， Lucy derails Sam's plans for a quiet escape。
But when her alleged attacker turns up dead， Lucy is charged with his murder—and Sam is appointed to represent her。 As he struggles to prepare his defense， Sam discovers that Lucy is lying—about a lot of things。 The facts are not in her favor， and to make matters worse， Lucy is also a suspect in her husband’s disappearance。
If Sam is successful， a guilty woman may go free—and if he’s not， he will have failed at his job。 Facing a client who can’t seem to tell the truth， an aggressive prosecutor eager for a conviction， and an ethical dilemma of epic proportions， Sam faces his most challenging case yet。

I have read each of the Sam Johnstone books， and for me， they just keep getting better and better。 Mr。 Chandler has quickly become one of my favorite authors。 He is an excellent storyteller， and I became so engrossed in the book that I gave up precious sleep to keep reading until I finished。 Lucy， the client that Sam defends on a murder charge， is a well-written character that you just love to hate。 There were so many times that I just wanted to punch her！ I kept talking to Sam in my head， telli I have read each of the Sam Johnstone books， and for me， they just keep getting better and better。 Mr。 Chandler has quickly become one of my favorite authors。 He is an excellent storyteller， and I became so engrossed in the book that I gave up precious sleep to keep reading until I finished。 Lucy， the client that Sam defends on a murder charge， is a well-written character that you just love to hate。 There were so many times that I just wanted to punch her！ I kept talking to Sam in my head， telling him to stay strong whenever he was around Lucy， because he seemed to almost melt into a puddle every time he came within a foot of her。 I absolutely loved the ending of this book also。 I received an advanced copy from SRP Mystery and Thriller Books， and have given my voluntary and honest opinion。 。。。more

Sam is faced with defending the wife of a missing college professor。 Is he happy about this。。。no。 It is an uphill battle to defend someone who won't even tell her own attorney the truth。 How will it all end？ In a refreshing story with great dialogue and characters。 I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book。 Sam is faced with defending the wife of a missing college professor。 Is he happy about this。。。no。 It is an uphill battle to defend someone who won't even tell her own attorney the truth。 How will it all end？ In a refreshing story with great dialogue and characters。 I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book。 。。。more

I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish reading this book！ Sam is appointed to represent a woman accused of murder， but she is far less than truthful。 Mr。 Chandler’s storytelling is quite skilled， delivering a complex plot with well-developed characters。 I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one。 I received a complimentary copy of this book and chose to write a voluntary， unbiased review。

These Sam Johnstone books have me hooked， and False Evidence really dug into my psyche。 There are aspects of Sam that I identify with to a very scary degree on a personal level。 The start and end of this book really got to me in a way that I haven’t experienced in several decades， but needless to say， it brought back some very old memories that made me identify even more with Sam。Story wise， Mr。 Chandler did a great job setting up the story and the mystery surrounding all the events so that you These Sam Johnstone books have me hooked， and False Evidence really dug into my psyche。 There are aspects of Sam that I identify with to a very scary degree on a personal level。 The start and end of this book really got to me in a way that I haven’t experienced in several decades， but needless to say， it brought back some very old memories that made me identify even more with Sam。Story wise， Mr。 Chandler did a great job setting up the story and the mystery surrounding all the events so that you start guessing at the who and why from the get-go。 And then he pulled back the curtain a bit and exposed enough to give you an ah ha moment – I’m beginning to believe this is one of his signature moves。 The courtroom drama is excellent as usual。 If you enjoy legal thrillers grab False Evidence especially if you’ve read Misjudged and One and Done grab this and settle in for the duration of the story。 If you haven’t read the previous books， what are you waiting for？ They are just as awesome as False Evidence。 I received and Advance Reader Copy and chose to provide this review。 。。。more
