Reviews of Good News, Bad News
`Take a large measure of Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn in Adam's Rib, add a plot that would knock John Grisham for six, season with a picaresque cast of supporting characters, garnish with one-liners that Frankie Boyle would kill for and you have a recipe for a page-turner of the highest quality. Good News, Bad News is the latest in real-life lawyer William McIntyre's `Best Defence' novels, and If I was a commissioning editor for one of our TV companies, I'd snap up the rights double quick. I've no doubt they could easily become the most popular crime series since Taggart.'-Alex Norton; `Written with an eye and ear to the reality of a busy criminal practitioner, drawing on years of success.'-The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland; `Dry and pleasing wit which will surely see Robbie taking his place alongside Christopher Brookmyre's Jack Parlabane soon.'-Sunday Sport
