Desperate Shop Girls by David L. Gersh has James Harris, a practicing lawyer living with his divorced wife, confronted with a pretty client, Janet Mason, a well known TV star. He gets a handsome retainer from Janet for representing someone impersonating her in a suit against her husband’s business interests. Subsequently, he gets contacted by her husband, Guy Mason, for representing him at an even better retainer to do the legal work on the sales contracts. A divorce suit on behalf of Janet completes the legal angle. While weighing his options, James is shocked by the sudden death of Guy and discusses with Janet ending the original suit that was filed under her friend’s name. He finds her dead, and gets caught in a vortex of activities of suspense and deceit, finally leading to a great surprise.
Desperate Shop Girls by David L. Gersh is a riveting drama from the very beginning, as it would be with a cast that is brimming with life. Each and every exchange in this exciting story can be relished independently, over and above its contribution to the plot. This is also a page-turner and all the characters stand out on their own accord in the performance of their roles. The nature and choice of characters is a welcome difference from the usual, predictable ones, all the protagonists leaving their mark in the reader’s mind well after finishing the book. The characters, the setting and the dialogue are memorable in the total unification with the plot. David has produced a wonderful thriller, an invaluable addition to one's collection.
