I recently read this delightful novel by Andrew McAleer and really enjoyed the book. It was full of familiar places. The plot was very interesting. I would recommend the book to all mystery buffs and those who are familiar with Boston and its surrounding suburbs will really feel part of the story.

Andrew McAleer is President of the Boston Authors Club and editor of Crimestalker Casebook Magazine. This is a solid debut novel, and fun from start to finish.

"In Appearance of Counsel, Andrew McAleer has written a marvelous Boston crime novel focusing on attorney Joe Gleason and both his family and friends around him. There's more than a little of the late George V. Higgins in McAleer's prose and dialogue, to the point that you may sometimes wonder whether you're reading a book or eavesdropping in a gritty, blue-collar tavern.A quirky and fascinating debut." --Jeremiah Healy author of Spiral and The Only Good Lawyer "Appearance of Counsel is entirely compelling." --Robert B. Parker author of the Spenser and Sunny Randall novels "Andrew McAleer has IT -- that includes, great pacing, dialogue, characters. Long may he labor in this vineyard." --Gregory Mcdonald author of the Fletch novels.
