Rattlesnake Funeral by Jonathan Miller is a legal thriller set in the COVID-19 pandemic. Dan Shepherd, Rattlesnake lawyer, is back in the courthouse where he started his career three decades earlier. Masked and disinfected, it’s his job to defend a murder suspect while also defending numerous other cases. Now, instead of appearing in court, though, he has to get to grips with the new norm of video court and telephone hearings. Throw in a woman from his past and Judge Luna Cruz, his ex, and Dan has his hands full. Will he successfully defend his murder suspect? Will the pandemic throw a spanner in the works? Join the Rattlesnake Lawyer to find out.

Rattlesnake Funeral by Jonathan Miller is another exciting Rattlesnake Lawyer story – I’ve read a couple and this one does not disappoint. The author’s experiences as an attorney shine through in this sometimes funny, sometimes dark action-packed tale. This is another rollercoaster journey of emotion and humor, court stories that feel so real, and characters you can’t help but like. The character development is second to none and you will find at least one that you can relate to. The story has lots of twists and turns, a bit of romance, and plenty of thrills along the way to keep you entertained and keep you reading. Although this is part of a series, you could read it as a standalone but I guarantee it will make you want to read the rest of the series. This is the perfect book for anyone looking for a legal thriller with a bit of a difference.

I am the author, but this is one of my favorite books as it captures the early years of the pandemic. I wrote it in hotels as I prepped for trials all over NM.
