Sheree Green recently contributed to an article in the Law Society Gazette on “what lawyers read on the beach”:
As a ‘Court of Protection deputy of last resort’ my work often involves being parachuted in at the final hour to salvage the finances of a vulnerable person. This is usually against a backdrop of family dispute and relationship breakdown. This can be life at its messiest, but often we find a way forward and draw family back in to work with us in the person’s best interests. There is sometimes, but not always, some resolution, even if there is no reconciliation.
When it comes to relaxation and reading, I like crime fiction. This also takes you into a messy world, but usually there is a decent conclusion – and hopefully a measure of justice! So my summer reading will be The Ink Black Heart (Sphere, £25) by Robert Galbraith; the latest investigation by Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott. If anyone is unfamiliar with the series, I would suggest starting at Book 1 – The Cuckoo’s Calling. Then you can enjoy observing the working relationship between the two PIs, as it develops as well as the unravelling of a good crime mystery.
