A Witty Murder Mystery
Jamie Cross is a solicitor at a small Midlands law firm, anonymously blogging about his clients and the quiet madness of small-firm life.
Then one of those clients is found murdered.
The Story
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

“An excellent debut.”
David Pickup, The Law Society Gazette
A great story. Kept changing my mind who the murderer was all the way through. A good mix of office politics, some legal protocol and of course a “who done it”.

A sharp and entertaining legal whodunnit with a dark sense of humour. Drafts, Disclaimers and Deaths is engaging, well paced, and built around a flawed but compelling lead character. Definitely worth a read.
