COOKIE"S CASE is the second in the Tug Wyler series
but the first that I have read
of Andy Siegel's and it is wonderful! Written about an
injury lawyer who also
solves a mystery dealing with one of his new clients, this
novel does not only
have some interesting characters but an intriguing
storyline. Just when I thought
the life of an attorney is boring, for Tug Wyler it is
anything but that. With humor
in all the right places, COOKIE"S CASE has a mixture of
some seriousness as well.
Tug Wyler comes across the path of a stripper who suffered
from a freak
accident three years ago and is now in a metal neck brace
that does not keep her
from performing when she can. As he is now the new
attorney for Cookie he
comes across some interesting findings concerning her case
and things do not
add up. Between juggling his professional life and his
family life with giving
advice to his daughter that comes to backfire on him,
leaving his wife depending
on him for fixing things with their three kids, you find
that he seems to have a
way of making things worse.
Andy Siegel captured the ends and out of his main
character giving you
enough insight that you can't help but love him. With such
honesty in his
thoughts and actions, you quickly realize that Tug Wyler
is an attorney that you
can trust who will admit to whatever he is thinking. (At
least to the reader.) I
enjoy a great book with witty characters like Wyler so
much that I will have to go
back and read the first one in this series. I also love
the little extra medical
insight you learned from reading about Cookie's condition.
Great research went
into writing this novel. COOKIE'S CASE is absolutely a
wonderful mystery to read
and I recommend it to any mystery reader.
Tug Wyler is embroiled in the mysterious medical malady of
a
sexy stripper who slipped on a banana peel during her
signature act
Cookie, an angel in stiletto heels, is by far the most
popular performer at Jingles Dance Bonanza. To her devoted
audience, she’s a friend, therapist, and shoulder to cry
on,
all rolled into one. While meeting an old pal at the club,
Tug doesn’t expect to pick up a new client but quickly
realizes the gallant Cookie—dancing in a neck brace, each
leg kick potentially her last—is in need of a committed
champion.
Righting wrongs is never a simple task for Tug, a
sharp-witted and unorthodox trial lawyer who repeatedly
finds himself in the middle of unusual cases and causes.
But
that doesn’t stop him from trying. Believing that Cookie
is
the victim of a spine surgeon with a sloppy touch, Tug
takes
her case. But as he seeks both medical remedy and a fair
shake for Cookie, he realizes—a tad too late—that sinister
sights are now trained on him. In Cookie’s Case, this
offbeat attorney will go farther for justice than he ever
has before.
