BookLife Review of Bitter Choices
Critical Acclaim for Bitter Choices.
Julie Barrett - 12-8-22 Five Stars ***** “...Such fascinating cases and how they proceed.
Lots of action, cartel, company negligence and witness protection service. Tearful moments with fire, who goes missing and other disappearances. Such caring lawyers as they provide a well worth service for justice. ... Can’t wait for the next as more pieces fit into the puzzle.
Has been quite a few years since I’ve read a Stan Turner mystery and I had just started a 2 week vacation and jumped at the chance to review this one. Author describes detailed scenes, it’d be perfect for a movie. Has something for everyone love, romance, travel, mystery, action, cartel and business dealings. ...
Erin Jones - 9/8/23 - Five Stars ***** “... very entertaining. ... I would recommend this book for anyone looking for an easy read with plenty of unexpected twists and turns.
G. Taylor 1/7/23 Five Stars ***** “ ... what a great read. Although it is book 13 of the series it didn't cause any issues reading it as a one off. That being said I intend to go back to the start of the series and read the earlier books too. I love how quickly the story moves and felt very involved with the main characters and seeing how they overcome the obstacles that are thrown in their way. All in all a book that I can highly recommend.”
Linda Bowles 1/23/23 - “... beginning ... a little slow. It didn't hook me in until I was a good few chapters in. After that I found it hard to stop reading. I enjoy reading this genre of book and found that it kept me intrigued until I got to the end. I liked the way the Author led me through the story, using family and friends to enhance the storyline. The ending of the book left me wanting to read the next book in the series.”
Myra McCulloch -12 -9-22 5 Stars***** “Stan Turner takes on a new client wanting estate planning for his business interests. His client is murdered and Stan finds himself embroiled in a Mexican Cartel's dirty business. Suspenseful story line has you turning pages to see if all survive the dirty dealings of murder, sex slavery, human trafficking, money laundering and much more.”
Jennie Bee 1-27-22 **** 4 Stars “...an easy read ... It moves along at a decent pace so doesn’t take long to read. Some nice twists and turns and a satisfactory ending. Recommend.”

Norm Goldman at BookPleasures "...Bitter Choices is a tightly packed legal thriller with essential components that create great suspense, sensitive characters, and exciting narrative tension. It is sharp, witty, occasionally amusing, and constantly engaging. When mixing these with authoritative minutiae about trusts and estates and the wheeling and negotiating of attorneys in personal injury lawsuits, we end up with a compulsively riveting page-turner with no simple answers. ...".
Great for fans of: Scott Turow, Scott Pratt.

Critical Acclaim
...Manchee writes an intelligent, suspenseful, complex, and highly readable tale, which confirms him as a wordsmith of the first order. Cliff Hunter, Crescent Blues
Manchee is a master at setting a mood, laying the atmosphere, and pulling you into the lives of these truly believable and sometimes quirky characters. He combines politics at its worst and a tender love story between Kevin and Deviane Shah, the daughter of the Prime Minister. Brandice J. O'Brien, MyShelf.Com Manchee is a master at setting a mood, laying the atmosphere, and pulling you into the lives of these truly believable and sometimes quirky characters. Brandice J. O'Brien, MyShelf.Com
William Manchee could be Dallas' answer to John Grisham. Manchee, an author who has maintained a private law firm in Dallas since 1975, recently published Brash Endeavor, a page-turning tale of a small-time lawyer in over his head with some big-time clients. --- The Dallas Observer, Fall 1998
"Settle down to a good mystery from an excellent writer. I became a fan of William Manchee with his novel Plastic Gods... With a multitude of well-crafted sub-plots and a writing style that keeps the reader glued to the book, William Manchee has really crafted a masterpiece of mystery...." Harold McFarland
Continuing the space adventures of the son of his top rate detective Stan Turner (see Disillusioned and Act Normal), William Manchee provides a strong Tarizon science fiction military thriller (see Liberator and Civil War) as the war goes off-planet. Fast-paced and loaded with action, fans will appreciate Conquest Earth as Cystrom takes up the mantle of his late dad... Harriet Klausner Genre Go Round Reviews

What makes the Stan Turner Mysteries unique is they were inspired by actual cases of mine from the past. I was fortunate to have survived many of these events and felt compelled to share my experiences with others. Each book features three stories interwoven throughout the book from the perspectives or Stan, his partner or associates. This is done so that you find yourself stepping right into the shoes of the lawyers in the firm and feel the same emotions they experience as they try to deal with their clients’ extreme legal challenges.
My writing style is a bit unique as well. I let the characters do most of the story-telling and let the reader size them rather than forcing my opinion on you. My objective is to bring you non-stop action, excitement and suspense. And at the end of the day you may be exhausted from all the drama and anxiety, but hopefully you’ll also have experienced the relief and satisfaction that attorneys feel when the jury returns with a favorable verdict.
