Publisher's Summary

‘Everyone is going to say what a great guy and a great lawyer he was. He wasn't. He was a prick … And a shithouse lawyer.'

Gavin Jones is dead at thirty-nine. As a lawyer who controlled millions of dollars in fees per year, he was legal firm Howard Greene's biggest client and wielded that power with manipulative contempt. But he saved his worst behaviour for women, at work and at home.

The partners of Howard Greene relied on his favour to fund their lavish lifestyles. If sycophantic admiration of the man was all it took to secure work from Gavin, that's what they delivered. But no one liked Gavin. The list of those who suffered from his cruelty was long enough to include pretty much everyone who had contact with him. So who actually killed him?

A fast-paced and wickedly funny thriller about power and revenge set in the pristine towers of capitalism, How to Kill a Client is a scorching debut straight out of tomorrow's headlines.

Hits the spot

Really enjoyable fast moving story- great insights into contemporary legal (and human) behaviour that translates into many other professions.

Complex, beautifully written and sometimes close to the bone

Well read and wholly convincing murder mystery. It was clear to see the lines of tension the story was building up to, but the murderer was still a surprise. Highly, highly recommend.

My favourite book on audible!!

I devoured this book in a few days. I have laughed loved and shared and can’t wait for the next one! A witty hilarious and slightly scary depiction of big law in Australia with one liners I’ll be quoting with to tongue in cheek amusement for years to come. Well done Jenkins and keep ‘‘em coming please - your talents are wasted in the law!
