O’Brien’s Law

By: John McNellis

Narrated by: David Davino

Brand-new lawyer Michael O'Brien has no clue the case his law firm handed him is a total loser. That's because he would rather chase women, play basketball, or do almost anything other than practice law. O'Brien is struggling with the drudgery first-year associates face, especially since it's the swinging '70s in San Francisco.

He's just too good-looking, easily bored, and cocky to care. But when Malcolm Knox, one of the city's wealthiest men, drops dead, the young man from Boston is suddenly charged with finding $50 million in bearer bonds missing from the estate.

Given his myriad distractions-he's wooing a former fashion model who owns a small bakery chain-O'Brien seems destined to fail. As missteps accumulate, and practicing law becomes dangerous O'Brien risks losing his job, his girlfriend, and even his life.

What a great romance/thriller set in San Francisco

I couldn't stop listening to this book. The characters are well developed and interesting and it was exciting to see how their relationships change and grow as they face their own personal struggles. So many colorful details of the beautiful city by the bay and its landscape. You can tell the Author spent much time making sure each detail was as accurate as possible and with as much feeling as possible. The storyline is engaging and suspenseful and the Author's use of prose is creative and fun! I so want to see this made into a movie. HIGHLY recommend this novel and its Author (with the hope that more is coming!)

A thrilling mystery in the Bay Area

McNellis does a great job keeping the reader engaged with a compelling story and fun characters. The author describes San Francisco I’m the 70s in a loving way that makes it almost a character on the book. The author obviously has experience in law and the drama he builds has a satisfying payoff. The narrator brings the accents of the characters to life and makes it a fun listen. If your stuck in traffic crossing the Golden Gate Bridge this is the perfect book!
