Murder by Impulse

The John Lloyd Branson Series, Book 1

By: D. R. Meredith

Narrated by: Michael Bowen

A Lincoln Continental driven by Amy Steele, wife of millionaire rancher, James Steele, rams a tanker full of gasoline. Instant incineration of both drivers; a probable accident, according to Sergeant Larry Jenner of the Amarillo Police Department. Eight months later, it’s murder, according to Sergeant Ed Schroder of the Special Crimes Unit, and the probable murderer is the widower. Standing between James Steele and Sergeants Jenner and Schroder is John Lloyd Branson, reputed to be the best criminal defense attorney in Texas. In his formal three-piece suits, cowboy boots, Phi Beta Kappa key, he is certainly the most eccentric attorney. Assisted by his legal clerk, Lydia Fairchild, John Lloyd must prove that the most unlikely, indeed the most impossible, suspect is a cold-blooded murderer.

MURDER BY IMPULSE

This is the first book about John Lloyd Branson. He's a lawyer. I liked this book and will continue with this series. John is a tough , no holds bar type of lawyer. His helper Lydia Fairchild makes the book better. This is a murder mystery type of story. Theres a couple different things going on. You have to pay closer attention to keep up. There is strong side characters. Michael Bowen does a good job narrating this book. He's a really good narrator.
