Open and Shut Andy Carpenter is a lot smarter than most people know. He is always ready with a quip or a smartass remark. He's a bit of a showboat in the courtroom. In the first of a continuing series, Andy has promised his father to work on an appeal for a convicted killer who has been in prison for 7 years. The more Andy learns about the case, the surer he is that Willie Miller is innocent.This is an easy read that moves quickly. Sometimes I grew . Mystery, fun, and better than ice cream .

The shocks pile on as he discovers his dad left him with two unexpected legacies: a fortune of $22 million that Andy never knew existed… and a murder case with enough racial tinder to burn down City Hall.
