This is the first book in the series (Sasha McCandless Legal Thrillers) by Melissa F. Miller. I was half way through this book when I bought the entire series (9 books + 3 novellas).Melissa F. Miller offered the first book in the series FREE! I have discovered several series I now have (in my kindle library) to read because the first book was free. Some books costs $4.99 (and more!) each, I do not want to invest money in a series if I am not sure I will like it. The "first book in a series free" idea has added many eBooks to my kindle library!
Sasha McCandless is an attorney at the law firm she works for, Prescott & Talbott (Pittsburgh, PA). She is in her office on Friday (and getting ready for a date) when she receives an email that concerns their biggest client, Hemisphere Air. A plane has crashed into Black Mountain, Virginia -- killing all 156 people onboard. Flight 1667 was three-quarters full of passengers, en route from D.C. to Dallas. She calls to cancel her date and calls Noah Peterson to get him back to the office.
While she is waiting, she brews a pot of coffee and rescues some junior associates from weeks or months of document reviews -- they are tired but excited -- this job might have some real action! ...
The characters are likeable and the mystery ongoing. You get little bits & pieces of information that will keep you reading to see what happens next. I simply could not put the book down until I had finished it. I am looking forward to the rest of this series and the novellas!
Well done, Melissa F. Miller!

Irreparable Harm by Sasha McCandless
Well, after a hiatus from reading, (needed new glasses) I decided to try an audible book and chose Irreparable Harm. It was good. I’d never heard of this author or series until it was offered as a free book.
Since I love a mystery, I grabbed it.
Even better, the free book had the audio version (whisper sync) available on Audible for only $1.99. That’s such a great buy for an audiobook that I bought it too.
I listened to it in a day!
The plot was intriguing. An commercial airplane’s auto pilot changes direction, the pilots unable to correct it. It crashes into a mountain killing everyone on board. As the ambitious attorney, Sasha McCandless, is chosen to represent the airline, a case that will ensure her early partnership in the firm. An air marshall begins his own investigation, which brings him to Sasha. They soon discover it was no accident. When people involved begin dying, a conspiracy emerges that could kill thousands more. They will have to work quickly to stop another air disaster.
All in all, I really enjoyed the story here. It was fast moving and easy to listen to. The mystery itself was well done. It was perhaps a bit too easy to figure out who the bad guys were, but it still kept me listening to see what would happen next.
The characters were also well portrayed. Sasha, the attorney also begins to question her priorities, between her need for client confidentiality, her driving ambition to be a law firm partner, and her desire to do the right thing.
Leo, the air marshall, determined to figure out who’s behind the disaster, needs Sasha’s help at the same time he wants her out of harm’s way. The other characters weren’t as developed, but the story still worked well. There is a bit of romance in the story, but it doesn’t control the plot. It does lead into the subsequent book.
When I finished the book, since it says this is Book 1, I went to to find there are several others already available in this series. I’ll be reading the next one too. If you are looking for a light and entertaining mystery, I think you will enjoy Irreparable Harm.
Irreparable Harm (Sasha McCandless Legal Thriller Book 1)
First the good. The author is obviously a legal expert as evidenced by the specifics in the book about anything in the realm of law firms and court proceedings. The premise of the story was also good, a plausible advancement in aviation technology turned to terrorist purposes. Now the bad. Alas I personally fought to finish the book based on the utter fantasy that is our heroine, Sasha. As a 6 foot 3 inch 240 pound 33 year veteran law enforcement officer who is like ALL professional law enforcement officers well trained in defensive tactics of several variations, firearms, and weapon retention to name just the things pertinent to this story, virtually everything the 5 foot 100 pound Sasha does in the book when confronted by a potential threat (every single one of which is bigger than her; some over twice her size) is so far removed from reality that it makes Alice in Wonderland seem realistic by comparison. The old saying "It ain't the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog" has gotten a lot of fools hurt or killed! That is why there are weight classes in every form of sport fighting!
Spoiler alerts here. First, officers never stand close enough to subjects to have their pistols taken as described. In fact they train specifically to deny/defeat the exact move Sasha uses in the book yet she breaks his nose, his trigger finger (which is by the way the minimum of what happens when this disarming technique is used successfully; it can actually remove the finger). Yet this highly trained Federal Officer is utterly defenseless against her. Second it is ludicrous to believe that given Sasha's admitted training in the latest "pet" martial art Krav Maga, with no actual experience in a life threatening fight she is able to simultaneously defeat not one but two huge former Russian mafia men now turned professional enforcers/hit men to the point of nearly beating one to death. Yet when struck squarely in the face by one of these "pros" of vastly superior size and presumably strength her only reaction is to flinch and proceed to beat the man up! Not a broken bone just a split lip.
Towards the end of the story when confronted by a female who is described as obviously not familiar with guns and who DID place herself and her pistol too close to our heroine on at least two occasions practically begging to be disarmed, we are given every excuse why she can't disarm this novice given at least two excellent opportunities. When she finally does use the exact same technique used earlier on the Federal officer to disarm the woman she does almost no physical damage to her. What? Lastly while holding a pistol on two terrorists/mass murderers this genius attorney leaves a cutting block full of knives within reach of them and when confronted by one of them with a deadly weapon she throws her gun away to disarm the man bare handed!! It begs the question why even hold a gun you admit you have no intention of using. Finally after disarming the man and breaking his wrist (of course) she places this weapon on the counter where guess what? It is grabbed by a civilian while Sasha looks on and used to murder someone in their custody.
I will not waste my time on another book by this author; although I wanted to like it it was so ridiculous from a real world standpoint of fighting and firearms use/retention I found it cartoonish and an affront to anyone with any semblance of common sense. What you do is up to you.
