The twisty turning legal thriller from former prosecutor Morley Swingle scores 5-stars on all levels.” FitzG“A sharp, twist-filled legal thriller with layered characters, ethically charged dilemmas, and compelling courtroom drama, the novel offers both intellectual engagement and emotional impact. For those who enjoy thoughtful, well-paced narratives grounded in legal realism, this is a standout choice.” Literary Titan“Morley Swingle delivers a well-planned twist.” Kirkus Reviews“I planned to read Choice of Evils slowly while taking it along on vacation. Instead of nursing it, I burned through it nonstop. I couldn’t put it down. From crime scenes to courtroom scenes, Swingle’s thriller should come with a caution label: WARNING: IF YOU START, YOU WILL STAY UP LATE!” Nancy Cole Silverman, Author of Shadow of Doubt“Swingle has mastered the art of the legal crime genre.” Phil P“The best-of-the-best legal thriller. I wasn’t able to put it down.” Darina’s Reads“Wyatt Blake is a very good lawyer. He shares his self-knowledge in a way few if any ‘Perry Mason-type’ fictional lawyers ever do. True to life—and a great read.” Glenn Easley“Choice of Evils is another clever fun read by Morley Swingle. Drew me in almost immediately and I had trouble putting it down.” Doug Sidel“What a great read! Morley Swingle clearly knows his way around the criminal justice system. Can’t wait to see what’s up next for prosecutor turned conflicted criminal defense lawyer Wyatt Blake.” JabWab“A suspenseful must-read novel that kept me turning the pages long past my bedtime.” Merry Mac“Morley Swingle’s courtroom experience coupled with unpredictable twists make you cling to every page.” Kelly Christopher Elliott“Legal thriller fans will love this book but even readers who prefer traditional character-based stories will delight in the characters and hope to see them again.” RJK“Wyatt Blake is an entertaining & unusual main character. Each book in the series has a well-done story line with good twists. The legal aspect is much more entertaining than most ‘legal’ thrillers.” Dave Kaverman“The entire Wyatt Blake series is well-written and enjoyable, never failing to entertain thanks to plot twists and surprises.” Don Day“This book is long, smart, surprisingly emotional, and never boring. I took my time with it and immediately wanted the next one.” Litbydom“Quality writing by an author who knows what he’s talking about.” KB Books
