Quotes

“A practicing attorney himself, Mitzner brings authenticity to the story, and understandably, readers may be left with an uneasy sense of distrust for our legal system. ‘Reality is less important than what we can prove,’ J. R. advises his client, adding that things sound very different out of context, and ‘belief is not the truth.’” BookTrib.

“A master writer of legal thrillers.” Book Reporter

“Even if you think you know where the story is heading, Mitzner might have something else up his sleeve. Love Betrayal Murder is his finest work yet—his own The Firm, if you will. I am confident that those who dive into this one will agree with me.” Book Reporter

“Adam Mitzner has done it again, given us another amazing legal thriller that immediately hooks you in and keeps you turning the pages late into the night. Filled with thrilling courtroom scenes, fascinating insights into the gender politics of big law firms, and shocking twists, Love Betrayal Murder is a blistering read you won’t be able to put down.” Angie Kim, international bestseller and Edgar Award–winning author of Miracle Creek

“The twists keep coming in this smart, sly, and subtle legal thriller. Love Betrayal Murder starts as a slow burn but quickly builds into an unputdownable page turner.” Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of Find Me
