Publisher Description
After a Sweet Sixteen ceremony, Reyna Clifton - the mother of the birthday girl - is found severely injured at the bottom of the grand staircase of the Regal Phoenix Resort and Spa.
The Clifton family blames the resort for Reyna's fall, and sues for negligence. Daniel Mendoza and his firm are called in to defend the lawsuit, but when Mrs. Clifton is found dead in her hospital room, Daniel's suspicions arise.
With the help of his legal team and a private investigator, Daniel is determined to find out what really happened to Mrs. Clifton. But who would have wanted to murder her, and is there some other foul play involved?

May it please the court
I liked the main character and his team. I thought the party, the family dynamics, accident and subsequent fallout were more interesting than the legal issues. I did think that the ending was pretty satisfying and wrapped up nicely.
I could have done without the side story of the girlfriend as it didn’t really go anywhere? Maybe that’s addressed in the next book?
A little bit too legalese and technical for the common man imo. Would be interested to know what people in the justice system thought about that part. But on the whole I did enjoy the read.
Very well written
Great crime and law procedures with many twists and turns. I was mesmerized by the main characters and their secrets/lies/deceit.
Engaging
If you enjoy legal thrillers, you must add Daniel Maldonado to your list of authors to read. I loved the interweaving of Puerto Rico culture, food, and family dynamics into the story. Fun read with unexpected turns.
