I bought this book at a reading Chuck Greaves gave a week ago and I finished in two reading sessions--it is hard to put down! I am a lawyer, and in general I find courtroom dramas to be so technically inaccurate as to be distracting to the point of frustration, but Greaves gets the technical legal details, as well as the suspense and drama, dead right. I am still marveling over how his description of the business records exception to the hearsay rule the rule against permitting hearsay evidence in trial was correct, germane and entertaining!

Other than Jack McTaggart and his crew, who are improving with each novel this is the third McTaggart book there were no likable characters. Or rather, each was both likable and detestable, somehow at the same time, making each a good candidate for being the murderer, as well as an impossible choice.

Greaves alternates revealing the good side of one with the bad side of another leaving the reader having to constantly revise his pick of the ultimately bad one. Which is not to say that there aren't some memorable and pithy character descriptions: Greaves' send up of a bachelorette party weekend in Napa Valley wine-tasting party is wickedly hilarious and spot on.

Frequently bought together

Whereas the action of the other books stems from non-lawyer settings, insurance fraud, art forgery, etc, , with Jack bringing his legal talents to bear in solving the deception and catching the murderer, in this case plot itself is so essentially lawyerly that I fear to even summarize the situation would be to tip the solution to the murder.

Suffice it to say that in a novel crawling with lawyers, none of them, including Jack McTaggart and one other.. Buy this book and read it--you won't be disappointed! One person found this helpful.

Intriguing, fun and non-stop reading. Refused to put it down till I got to the bottom of this caper. Started over coffee at 8am and finished shortly after dinner the same night. Laugh out loud moments from my new hero Jack MacTaggart are almost stand up comicesque you look it up and offered new ammunition for my own shtick.

Book number 3 in this series is another winner. Greaves, weaves a legal mystery that keeps you reading his books. This one is more mystery and you are right there with Jack MacTaggart trying to figure out who did the murder. Waiting on book number 4. I love all his books I love Jack as the central character as he seems real. I am waiting for another book I really enjoyed this third book in the Jack MacTaggart mysteries. The main characters are very likable and the plot twists intriguing.

Take a group of rich people behaving badly, add a large dollop of Napa Valley atmosphere and toss in a handful of Hollywood. He could not believe his ears, she was pregnant. Outside the infirmary, Severus's heart almost burst out of his chest, but nothing really dawned on him yet.

The Last Heir: A Mystery

Hermione shook her head again. Look, I'm here if you need to talk to me, and I promise I won't tell anyone. I do expect to see you in a few weeks for a check-up. It's probably just Mr. At least it wasn't a person like Mr. You can spend the night here if you want, it's almost past curfew. After all, I never thought a student would need one here at Hogwarts. And if they did, they'd would never tell me. But, none-the-less, I will have Professor Snape make you some and have your identity remain a secret.

Well, at least you'll have graduated before you really start to show. Hermione had a look of disgust on her face, "Three more months to go," she said, barely audible, referring to how much longer she had until graduation. Hey, it could make it better," she said, while placing a hand on Hermione's knee. No, maybe you're deaf! You just told me that I'm going to have a baby! I'm not old enough for this; I'm not ready enough for this! Now look at me; in nine months, I'm going to have a baby to take care of!

A few moments were spent in silence, when the older witch spoke, "You know, you still have options.



Madam Pompfrey walked over to her office and Hermione heard the clank of bottles. He watched as she handed her the empty bottle and plopped down on the pillows. Poppy walked to her office and returned with a light-blue vial in her hand. The only potions with this color were potions that were used to find out the gender of the baby way too early for that and then That sneaky old bat was going to try and find out the baby's parents!

He didn't want Hermione to be embarrassed, seeing as she wasn't yet sleeping. The witch must finally be going senile, because even he could tell that the young witch was faking sleep, and she had yet to notice. As Madam Pompfrey neared the young witch's bed, he new he had to do something to stop her. Then, as she uncorked the bottle, Severus made an unnoticeable entrance. What's going on here? Granger was just having a restless sleep, so I was going to give her the dreamless sleep draft. She was fumbling with something behind her back, when Severus jumped behind her and snatched the bottle.

I had no idea that the Dreamless Sleep drought had this shade of blue; it's usually a dark, midnight blue. A look of sheer terror came across the old witch's face and Severus smirked, because he knew that the old bat knew what was coming next. You only have one, because I've only ever made you one.

See a Problem?

I mean, giving this to Ms. Granger, when she's still awake. I am the school's Potions Master! I can surely tell one potion from another! Granger, you need some sleep, because if you're late for my class tomorrow, you will be scrubbing cauldrons after dinner. After Severus was done speaking, he turned to leave when he heard a strained voice, "Don't go, I need to talk to you, sir. Madam Pompfrey, would you please be so kind to leave? I need to ask the Potions Master , if he could do me a favor.

Granger, don't bite my head off," he said, earning yet another Snape-worthy glare from the young witch. I know damn well that you don't go around the God-forsaken castle sleeping with everybody; I know you know who's it is. I'm not an owl! If it is mine, then I have the right to know! I should have just let that old hag give you the potion! She looked up into his eyes; scared brown eyes meeting hurt black orbs, when a low, silky voice came into her mind, "I'll always love you, and I'll never forget this.

Granger," he said with his sadden, piercing black eyes meeting hers again.
