This is a good page-turner about an alcoholic lawyer now in recovery. He faces difficult trials, issues of integrity and various romantic entanglements. There's mystery, suspense and good writing. The protagonist, Charley Sloan, is engaging and likable.

This is my first time to read one of Williams Coughlin's books but it won't be the last. He creates characters with substance; the storyline flows, building interest as you continue reading. Very enjoyable and a very plausible plot.

Criminal attorney Charley Sloan is a very, strong, well-developed character, and Death Penalty has so many interesting goings-on that I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to see what will happen next. My attention was held from the first to last page. Coughlin nicely ties together all of the subplots, although some are somewhat predictable. Nonetheless, Death Penalty is well-worth reading, as are each of the other books featuring Charley Sloan.
