5.0 out of 5 stars Another Brady Coyne Winner, October 25, 2000

By 

Ricky N. "Ricky C. Nelson" (Commerce, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Muscle Memory (Hardcover)

William G. Tapply is one of the best writers out there today. His series character, lawyer Brady Coyne, is back with another case. Brady is asked by his friend, former NBA player Mick Fallon to help him fight a divorce which his wife Kaye wants. When Kaye is found murdered, Mick is the likely suspect. Brady's investigation turns up things in Kaye's life that are contrary to what most people believe about her. Tapply does a super job in drawing the character of Mick Fallon, who has a quick temper and a gambling problem. The plot is strong, as usual. This, the 16th Brady Coyne novel, is one of the best in the series.

If William G. Tapply's books were published in paperback, they'd be flying off the bookshelves. Why aren't they??? Every Brady Coyne novel I've read has been a thrilling adventure. Read any one of them (this one included). You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous legal thriller starring a fresh Coyne, July 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Muscle Memory (Hardcover)

When Mick Fallon pleaded with his friend attorney Brady Coyne to represent him during his wife's divorce proceedings, he swore he did not want to lose his beloved spouse, Kaye. Reluctantly, the Boston lawyer accepted Mick as his client. However, Brady quickly becomes frustrated with Mick because the former basketball star hides needed information. Apparently, Mick is also a professional liar, who owes an enormous amount of money to a local gambling mobster.

Kaye's lawyer Barbara Cooper earned her reputation as a barracuda who went for the jugular and who did not mind running up billable hours. Barbara forces Michael to provide a deposition of his assets. This quickly leads to Coyne learning that his client holds a major gambling debt. During the session, the hot headed Michael loses his cool several times. However, things turn bleak when someone murders Kaye and Michael vanishes. The police, the mob, and his attorney search for the prime suspect, the missing Michael.

The sixteenth Coyne novel is a fabulously fresh legal thriller that shows how talented author William G. Tapply is. The story line is entertaining as the divorce case turns into a murder mystery. Adding to the fun is Coyne's personal life moving forward even as he reluctantly begins a relationship. Sub-genre fans who want to read a quality legal series need to tap into the Coyne novels because they consistently are among the best of the best.
