When I read and reviewed Rich Waters by Robert Bailey, I wrote “I’m a fan of legal thrillers: think Scott Turow, John  Grisham, Michael Connelly, William Landay. Somehow, I stumbled on Rich Bood by Robert Bailey. The protagonist, Jason Rich, is famous for his billboards from Alabama to Florida, featuring the slogan “In an accident? Get Rich!” Yes, he is THAT kind of lawyer, an “ambulance chaser,” and he’s made a freaking fortune at it… I look forward to the next one in this series! “

Now comes the third book in the series: Rich Justice, and I was lucky to receive a copy from Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. In this one, Jason’s nemesis Tyson Cade (aka the meth king) is shot and killed and Jason ends up charged with the murder. His problem is he doesn’t remember whether he did it or not, so he decides it might be a good idea to throw his Glock into the lake by his house. To try to dodge the death penalty, he enlists a fellow attorney who is nearly as disgraced as Jason himself. Together, they work to investigate the crime and figure out who did it (if it wasn’t Jason!)

Lots of less-than-likeable characters, and it does require some willing suspension of disbelief, but it has a complex, twisty plot and a fast pace that makes for an enjoyable read. I really enjoy this series when I am in the mood for  good escapist fiction! Four stars.
