Reader praise for Lethal Objection: ★★★★★ Excellent!! - As far as I am concerned this guy is light years ahead of Grisham and Patterson...just a GREAT author....GREAT story....PERIOD. ★★★★★ An important case; verdict is in; judge is murdered in chambers...This is the second Edward Mead thriller; soooo good! An important, but not very well-liked judge is murdered in his chambers just prior to the verdict being delivered in a wrongful death case. One of the attorneys must be the killer, right? Edward Mead stands out as lead investigator in another superbly written thriller by Michael Swiger. Mead is his soft-spoken self; dismissed by other council as too old to be productive; however, he's way ahead of them in insight and development of theories. He gets it right! Did you? Swiger knows how to write; his use of details to create his settings is delightful. Waiting patiently for Edward Mead thriller #3... ★★★★★ Whew to the umpteenth power!! - Unfortunately, intrigue and murder is not uncommon, but in Michael Swiger's Lethal Objection, it occurs among four suspect attorneys and a dead judge, all within the hallowed halls of the local courthouse! To potentially complicate matters, the prosecuting team is an unlikely pairing of an aging law professor, Edward Meade, and an attractive young FBI agent. Are you kidding? What could possibly go wrong? Edward Mead's sense of humor is as sharp as they come! (You know you'd love to be barb sparring buds with the writer!!) The author's finesse with plots bears the fragrance of Alfred Hitchcock, the undisputed Master of the plot-twist! Bottom line, this novel definitely earns a Whew to the umpteenth power!! ★★★★★ Couldn't put it down! - WOW this was a great read! I was hooked after the first few pages. The characters are colorful and each one of them could of done it. I love reading about things that take place back in Ohio! Micheal's descriptions of the places and areas around Cleveland are great!
