Reviews
<p style="color:#111111;">Appealing characters and lively dialogue, especially in the courtroom, make this an easy, entertaining read.<em><strong><font color="#ffcc00"> Publisher's Weekly</font></strong></em></p>
<p>Like "Undaunted" and "Brash Endeavor," "Second Chair" takes the reader for the ride of their life. Manchee's command of the justice system, added to his experiences in court and with clients, makes for a good read. <em>--<font color="#ffcc00"><strong>Barbara Quigley, Norman Transcript</strong></font></em> </p>
<p>Manchee's story is a page turner. He manages to keep the reader's interest with a serpentine plot and realistic dialogue. . . . Manchee's fictional lawyer always wins the war, but he does lose battles, which makes him a believable character. <font color="#ffcc00"><em><strong>Betty Bettacchi, Richardson News</strong></em></font></p>
<p>Manchee, an attorney, spins a good plot, playing out the scenes slowly so the reader is caught in the what-comes-next trap. Richly textured with wonderful atmosphere, the novel shows Manchee as a smooth, polished master of the mystery form. <font color="#ffcc00"><em><strong>The Book Reader</strong></em></font></p>
