Publisher's Summary
Jekyll Island. A little slice of relaxing paradise. But when lawyers from all over Georgia descend to the island for their annual conference, the murder of the state bar president is a surprise addition to the agenda.
Chance Meridian, finally able to take a long-delayed honeymoon after getting his murder squad up and running, has more interest in the beach than a new case. But the Governor has other plans. Thrust into an investigation far from home, Chance soon learns that the dead man had more enemies than is good for one’s health—most of them living under the victim’s own roof. Faced with a desperate murderer willing to kill again, Chance must untangle a web of deceit before one final act of violence changes his life forever.
A standalone thriller in the best-selling Atlanta Murder Squad series, A Hard Way to Die is a taut mystery brimming with suspense until the very end.

Story
Sam Johnstone was hoping for renewal when he took a job at a boutique law firm in rustic Wyoming. The mountains and streams of the West would be a refreshing, quiet place to start over after years of war and turmoil in his personal life. But after a local woman is brutally murdered, Sam realizes that things aren’t so quiet in this rural American town. The accused is one Tommy Olsen, a known delinquent who had been sleeping with the victim. Sam is repulsed by the crime and wants nothing to do with the case but meets with Tommy to make sure he has legal representation.

Poor Plot
I gave up on this series with this book, the protagonist comes of as a righteous bully who abuses the law. The plot development is such that the murderer somehow basically gives himself up at the end of the book after the protagonist stumbles around not really getting anywhere. It seems he never catches his person by actually figuring out the crime…

Good story, but the murder was easy to figure out.
I enjoyed the overall plot and the 'why' behind the murderers actions, however, I was able to figure out who the killer was about half way through the book which ruined the big reveal at the end.

The witty humour and development of main characters, plus the narrator.
It was a really thought-out “who-submit” mystery, but it was somewhat predictable with the lack of attention to a possible (even though improbable) suspect. Overall a very entertaining novel!
