Blog tour: ‘Have Gavel Will Travel’ by Robert Braithwaite




 
About the book:
What happens in a national park doesn’t stay in a national park. It often ends up in Robert Braithwaite’s courtroom—or sometimes on his kitchen table. Over a lifetime of administering justice, he saw everything from canoodling nudes to sheep hunters with drones to downright dangerous drug cartels. This collection of cases is so outrageous and bizarre you’ll have to read it to believe it.

    My review:Have Gavel Will Travel’

    5 STARS

    I enjoyed Robert Braithwaite writing style.  It is entertaining, a real look into a what a Judge does and feels. I wanted to read more. I did not want to put the book down. Easy to get into the story right away.

    He talks about his different cases from poachers in are National Parks, divorce cases, to murder cases and other criminal cases. How he feels about certain cases.  That he was trying to make the right decisions.

    He also shared what he likes to do with his grandchildren. Like take his one grandson to Dinosaur National  Monument or play in sand pile with his other one.

    I would read more by Robert Braithwaite in the future.

    I was given this ebook to read by Cedar Fort Publishing.  In return I agreed to give a honest review of Have Gavel Will Travel and be part of its blog tour.
