Right Here in Portland, Oregon

The Perfect Alibi by Phillip Margolin; 2019; $27.99; 310 pages; Minotaur Books, New York, NY; 978-1-250-11752-6; checked out from Multnomah County Library, Sellwood; 4/6/19-4/9/19

It has been nineteen years since I read anything by Portland author Phillip Margolin.  I remember liking them when I read them.  So I decided to give his newest book a test drive.  
The story is like a nautilus shell, it centers around attorney Robin Lockwood and there are several chambers but they all come together to form a good story.  Lockwood a former MMA fighter is defending a rape victim, who is suing a rich frat boy jock in a civil suit while also defending a  fellow lawyer accused of murder.  Lockwood and her assistant/boyfriend are investigating these cases and cases that are seemingly tied together with theirs.  

A good story that gets the locale correct. 

10/10
