Book Review: ‘The Plinko Bounce: A Novel’ By Martin Clark

Andy Hughes lives in Virginia, and has been a public defender for 17 years, and is tired of it. He’s ready to move on to something else, but before he can, he has a client he needs to defend on a murder charge. The case seems cut and ray, as Damien Bullins has confessed to doing it. But he notices that Damien might not have been read his rights properly, and gets his confession thrown out. There’s still the murder charge, and now Damien is changing his story, and it’s up to Andy to get his defense ready for the trial, and hope he gets him sentenced to a lesser charge, which would mean he would be a free man. The trial is grueling, and Andy does what he does best. But things are nagging at him, and Damien may be guilty after all, but you can not charge him again if he’s found not guilty. I really like this book. The character and Andy Hughes is a well-written character, the trial is great to follow, and the story if one you want to keep reading. I wouldn’t mind more Andy Hughes novels in the future.
