Get Last Will (Best Defence #6) Created By William H.S. McIntyre Formatted As Paperback

a HUGE fan of this series based on the last couple Ive read so I was excited enough when I received this prequel through the door to pick it up straight away.
Then I read it fast because seriously, these characters are SO engaging you just want to go and live with them

In Last Will we are finding out how Robbies daughter came to live with him it is funny, intelligent and realistic on the parenting front at the same time he is embroiled with Jake, a murder and dealing with peoples “help” creating some hilarious situational moments as well as some edge of the seat ones

What I love about the Best Defence series is the dynamic, edgy and immersive writing, the vividly drawn and full of life characters and the deft plotting that incorporates family drama, legal drama and thriller to an absolutely addictive degree.
I love Robbies family especially his exfootballer brother, his staff it was great to see Joanne in retrospect knowing what was coming later and the authors ability to write a totally non annoying and brilliantly authentic child character really puts the icing on the cake.


The mystery element is also excellent Robbies path to the truth is hilariously twisted and keeps the reader guessing, The dialogue sparks, the personal relationships built between our main protagonist and the supporting cast is hugely compelling and overall I really cant recommend this highly enough.


Loved it. Loved loved. When can I have more

That is all,

Very readable detective story which sees lawyer Robbie Munro unravelling the mystery of a farmhouse murder in order to save his client.
I think everything was thrown in dealers, hookers, high fashion, footballers, social work, multiple deaths, mums, dads, custody and an inheritance, Still, a very likeable hero and some wellsketched characters, If you like tartan noir, youll love this, Robbie's character was primarily the reason why I rated this novelstars, He's a great protagonist to look up to, from his wit and constant determination to be a good father to his daughter while dealing with a high profile criminal case simultaneously.
Upon hearing the premise I was most skeptical of the family law element in the story, but it was the perfect plot to run alongside the various homicides and action packed sequences.
It broke the heavy tension of chasing down witnesses and discovering scandals and revenge hungry supporting characters,

The thriller part of the novel is never forgotten, with constant twists that highlight just how dangerous and high the stakes are.
Despite being a barrister, Robbie comes across as a really exciting detective as he is trying to get to the bottom of what exactly went down that fateful night by getting involved with huge criminal underworld corporations and even fashion houses.


McIntyre is a mastermind when it comes to supporting characters and I was so heavily invested in their parts of the story.
Robbie's brother is an exfootball star which upon first hearing this detail one would assume he would have no part in a legal thriller, yet his constant banter and occasional helping hand, bring a lighter tone to the novel.


The way the case was resolved metaphorically floored me, it was intricate and completely out of the blue, Just when you think you've figured it out, it turns the other way so this book should definitely be next on your to be read list.
An entertaining read. A procedural with a heart of gold, A lovely heartwarming story of murder and corruption and payoffs and a little girl finding a family, Amusing and likable highly recommended
Well written and funny, this is an enjoyable story with likeable characters, Great escapism with a strong base in Scottish law, Scottish crime thriller with a lighter touch, Robbie Munro is a criminal lawyer who is trying to prove hes fit to have custody of hisyear old daughter while investigating the circumstances of a double murder where he is representing the accused.
As he mixes with underworld villains and famous faces, he finds himself increasingly stretched between his conflicting priorities,

The dark humour is a real strength of this novel and makes it rather different from the gritty novels that spring to mind when Tartan Noir is mentioned.
Robbie is a likeable protagonist, realistic without being cynical, and his family are genuinely endearing and funny, The seamier side of life is definitely present the opening scenes are certainly quite unpleasant but mostly it is presented as a gloomy backdrop rather than in any detail and this allows the story to shine through.


This was a surprisingly compelling read and I am delighted to have further books in the series ready to be read, as I would love to see what problems Robbie will face next.
Well done, Mr. McIntyre! Well done indeed. Full of jokes, twists, and suspense, "Last Will" makes for a perfect introduction to the world of Robbie

Munro and tartan noir at large.
.

Say hello to Robbie Munro, a criminal lawyer who has just found out that hes a dad, And not just any dad, A dad to a four year old who hes only just met because her mother recently died, Oh and did I happen to mention he lives in a one bedroom flat, has no idea about kids and has the biggest must win case of his life coming up, which is looking more and more like the case from hell

Caught between adjusting to life as a dad, failing to meet his familys expectations in every facet of his life and needing to win the case from hell to keep his firm in business Robbie is in so far over his head its not even funny.


The more he tries, the more he seems to stuff up, Is it too late for Robbie to have the best of both worlds or will his antics see him having to choose between his daughter and the unwinable case he must win To find out youre just going to have to read Last Will by William McIntyre.


What a great read Last Will was, I cant remember how I came across it but its been sitting on my TBR pile for a good couple of years now and Im kicking myself I didnt get to it sooner.


As a lawyer himself, McIntyre nails the plot and characters, proving that you should write about what you know, However, you certainly dont need to be a lawyer to enjoy this crime novel, Its a very well written and engaging book that is simply set in a legal sitting but which will have you laughing out loud several times and cringing just as much as Robbie continues to put his foot in it as he attempts to keep everyone happy.


I appreciated that the writing was strong enough that its didnt need slabs of backstory or long winded descriptions to paint the picture of the plot and introduce the characters.
Rather, you felt like youd known them for years because whether hero or villain, they were all relatable and easy to visualise as they went about their business.


I loved Last Will, It was a great read filled with sensational characters, especially Robbie who is the ultimate underdog, A excellent mixture of crime, humour and whodunnit its a highly recommended read and book one in a series that Im very much looking forward to binging.
