Robbie Munro is a defense lawyer in Scotland, and his cases are a long way from the polished courtroom dramas of American legal thrillers. He works the sheriff courts, handling clients who can’t afford better representation and cases that nobody else wants. William McIntyre draws on his own legal career to give the series a ground-level authenticity that feels earned rather than researched.
The 13 books run from Relatively Guilty (2011) to How Come? (2023), and the series has grown from short novellas into full-length novels. McIntyre keeps the tone light despite the subject matter, with Robbie’s running commentary on the Scottish legal system providing a steady stream of dark humor. The books are best read in order, as Robbie’s personal life develops alongside the cases.
