Customer Reviews

What is the life of a judge like?

Written by an eminent but humorous judge, this book is a good read. It gives insight into the the life of being a sitting judge, but also gives humor. A transplanted, self-professed yankee struggles to adjust to life in the south. Does good actually win over evil? Read this lively book and find out.

Good Will Win In The End

This is by far the best novel picked up in quite a few years. The story line kept my attention from front cover to back.

Excellent First Novel

I picked this book up as it is about a probate judge and I am a probate attorney. This is not an area of the law that attracts much attention as it lacks the glamor of the criminal practice or the high power litigation practice. I was somewhat taken aback initially as the first part of the book is a romance and that is not something that I usually read. However, Judge Olsen delivers character development so effectively that I was soon hooked despite my best curmudgeonly efforts. The romance is essential to the story and the book contains much more interesting and exciting aspects which the romance leads into. I was very pleased with his very accurate presentation of the interaction between lawyers and the bench, not only in court, but also in chambers and socially. I don't want to spoil the story, but suffice it to say that Judge Olsen's legal training shines through his attention to careful detail throughout the book. You are cautioned to pay attention to that detail as some of it becomes very important later. The political part of the story is cutthroat, down and dirty. Having assisted in several political campaigns over my 30 years of practice, I found this to be the most fascinating part of the book. Overall, the book is excellent and I hope His Honor has a sequel in him.

I may be prejudiced, but...

I was the final editor of this novel and had to read through several iterations. But, I never tired of the plot details or the character development. Now, that really tells you something! In fact, I actually missed the main characters, Jo and Sean, when my part of the project ended. I look forward to a sequel and hope to edit it, as well...so I have an excuse to read and re-read such wonderful storytelling by this new, up and coming novelist. Deborah Long, M.A. [..]

Allen E. Blakemore

Many authors have tried and failed to bring political intrigue alive in modern fiction - but Olsen's debut effort Good Will Win in the End wins in a landslide. With 20 years in business as a political consultant - I know the difference between winners and losers. This book has it all-compelling drama and genuine excitement. Olsen brings to life the real stresses and humor of life on the campaign trail that go largely unnoticed and unreported in the world of local politics.
