TOP BOOK REVIEW FOR
'GOTCHA!'
G'day folks,
My latest book has received a great review from one of Australia's top book reviewers, Anastasia Gonis. This review appears on 'Kid's Book Review', and I'm grateful for their tireless work in providing reviews for authors.
This is the fourth book in the 'Kick-Ass' series, but I suggest you read the three previous books: 'Kick-Ass Tyler', 'Better Than Sliced Bread', and 'Life sucks!'.
Here is the Review:
The evolution of Sam
Tyler from student to professional Barrister makes a fantastic read. Her
character is a powerful role model for young adults; generous-hearted,
down-to-earth, inspiring, and lovable.
Clancy Tucker’s latest novel, Gotcha! the fourth book in the Kick Ass
series, finds Sam on her last day at Folkestone University. Although it’s a
happy time, Sam reflects on all the things she achieved and the people that
supported her on her journey to who she has become.
At nearly twenty-two, Sam has completed her Bachelor of Criminal Law with
Honours, and passed her Bar exam. She is very proud of her personal
accomplishments and is looking forward to the next chapter of her life.
Her new job with a
prestigious law firm, sees T-shirts and jeans replaced with a professional
look. Her new apartment in the best part of town – a gift from her gran,
promises new friends and neighbours.
Sam settles into a routine quickly and confidently, but finds that juggling
work and a long distance relationship with her boyfriend Mick, is no easy task.
Mick’s family will make life-changing decisions concerning their farm, Karaminga,
which is struggling financially due to the drought. A joyful surprise adds
to the reinvention of Sam Tyler.
At work, Sam cuts her teeth on a complex case that holds many unanswered
questions. It is a class action against an unscrupulous tractor company
distributing through Australia and Asia.
Sharp as a tack, analytical and questioning, Sam delves deep, above and beyond
normal expectations, to dig up the truth from the contradictory evidence she is
given to examine. She discovers that the law is not always adhered to,
even by lawyers, and uncovers corruption in the corridors of power where
manipulation is a tool used without conscience.
Determined to expose her unethical associate even after she is threatened with
payback, Sam refers to her professional network; connections made during her
lengthy public recovery from cancer, to confirm her line of investigation.
Although absorbed with her legal commitments, Sam finds time to teach karate to
the adults and children of her diverse community. Intervening in a violent
domestic dispute, and later disarming a man in a public place using her defence
skills, she fulfills her personal commitment to always help others.
When her associate is taken seriously ill during a crucial time in the court
proceedings, Sam must step up and take control. Determined to bring the
scoundrel down, although inexperienced, can she convince the judge with her
well-constructed cross-examination?
The court scenes are thrilling and well-researched. Tucker has created another
riveting and detailed novel built around important social issues. As always,
his characters’ voices are the conduit for his inherent belief in helping
others, doing what is right, and giving people a second chance.
