““Crouch puts his years as a litigator to good use in his third legal thriller featuring Fort Worth, Tex., attorney Jace Forman (after 2015’s The Word). … Fast pacing and believable characters will make this a treat for fans of Steve Martini.” ”

““With typically taut and colorful prose, Crouch (the Word, 2015, etc.) enlivens even the thorniest legal concepts that propel his intricate plot… A thoughtful and highly readable legal thriller.””

““Hubert Crouch has a knack for writing prose that is tight and with emotional insight… This story will absorb thriller fans that also enjoy compelling courtroom drama”
”

““This intricate legal thriller moves at a quick clip in a fascinating, corrupt small-town setting. In classic legal thriller style, Hubert Crouch jumps into The Weight with an ambiguous murder plot, one to be untangled piece by piece as the story moves along…. The Weight is an intricate legal thriller that focuses on the interactions between the defense and the prosecution, all set among small-town corruption and backroom dealings.””

““The Weight is a stellar account of a legal process gone awry and the seemingly impossible odds of fixing it, either inside or outside the courtroom. Its tension and unexpected twists will have readers on the edges of their seats right up to a conclusion which is both satisfying and startling. The Weight is especially recommended for fans of John Grisham who like their courtroom dramas laced with surprise confrontations and their cases satisfyingly complex.””
