The legal profession’s loss of William Bernhardt as an attorney is assuredly a reader’s good luck! Every aspect of his writing places you within the scene from location to character development to narrative. If the characters were real and a reader walked into the room, the reader would be able to identify and begin speaking with each person by name.
I liked that the author gave a nod to his home state of Oklahoma for the opening settings of Ben Kincaid’s employment. The addition of the adoptive child Emily being a special needs child having a rare disorder of Korsakov’s Syndrome is pivotal to the adoption case and a disorder that I was unaware.
I am disappointed that the description of Christina’s hair It is beyond time to stop reference to a librarian’s hairstyle. I hope Mr. Bernhardt addresses stereotyping in The Red Sneaker Writing instruction opportunities.
I can’t wait to read what follows for Ben Kincaid. ( )
