Jamie Cross is a solicitor at a small Midlands law firm who copes by being (or trying to be) funny about it online.
Anonymously tweeting about absurd clients, office politics and the quiet madness of High Street legal life, he builds a following by saying what most lawyers only think.
Then one of those clients is found murdered.
As the jokes start to look uncomfortably like motives, Jamie finds himself under scrutiny from the police, his firm, and the regulator. With his whole life on the line, he must work out who really wanted the man dead, and why his private observations seem to have been noticed far more closely than he realised.
“If you are reading this because you enjoy cosy murder mysteries, I should probably warn you. This one involves written policies, compliance demands, and at least one meeting that could have been an email.” — Jamie Cross
The book has its own site, which is where the sample chapters, the current formats and anything about the sequel live: draftsdisclaimersanddeaths.vercel.app.
