As a corporate lawyer, I found the book quite enjoyable and thought that the solutions found in each story were quite brilliant. A partners job is to know the law but to also know the situation better so as to apply and bend it as required to meet the client's requirements. Overall a very good read I thought although one does need to keep a dictionary at hand!
I agree. This was great fun to read. As someone who is ignorant about corporate lawyers and what they do, I found this glimpse into their inner workings quite illuminating, to say the least. The fact that it uses humour so effectively is what makes this book a winner!
Each story pivots around Edamarra Edwin and his detective-style approach to solving problems; but while each story is a separate episode, with its own thrills, together they all cumulatively reveal a lot about its enigmatic protagonist and the world he inhabits.
Yes, it's so refreshing in how it moves away from the conventional courtroom dramas that one associates with legal fiction and instead mingles legal sleuthing with satire to inform and entertain in equal measure!
I just finished reading it and seriously, what an incredibly well-written book! I genuinely cannot imagine how someone without a formal training or background in literature can write such prose.
Take a bow Shishir. The trolls will find something to snipe at you with, but I hope you write on. So proud that a practicing lawyer wrote it.
