Unworthy of Justice by Francis Muchoki describes his search for legal justice and some of the darker aspects of the British legal system.

Muchoki narrates the story and describes meeting Mr Maxwell from 247 Staff to find out about buying a franchise with the company. Mr Maxwell drove a top-of-the-range car, wore expensive clothes, and had a formidable presence. The company offices were opulent and situated on a woodland estate. Mr Maxwell had answers for everything and reassured Muchoki that the franchise deal was viable.

The story continues with Muchoki and his two colleagues, Lilian and Mtebezi, starting to run the 247 Staff franchise. However, once they have paid the franchise fee, they are beset by problems. The situation seems unviable, and Muchoki needs legal advice to fight his corner. Having lost money already, he is unsure how to do this, but luckily, a lawyer called Alverez agrees to represent him pro bono. Muchoki is an ordinary citizen up against the rich and powerful.

Some of the story is very tense. When Muchoki attended court, I was on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen. The descriptive writing brings the situation to life. In court, Muchoki writes, “It was as if the very air itself was holding its breath in anticipation of a significant outcome.”

The narrative voice is compelling and authentic. The reader can relate to Muchoki and is drawn into his story. There is insight into the struggle ordinary people can have when embroiled in the legal system. It was heartening to read of positives in the law, such as mediation services and lawyers doing pro bono work.

I was taken aback by the book’s ending as I hadn’t expected it to end so abruptly. There will be a second book that continues the story. I would have preferred the story to be completed in one book.

There are many spelling and grammar errors in the text. The book would benefit from professional editing. However, this doesn’t stop the book from being engrossing to read.

This book would appeal to people interested in social justice who would enjoy an open and honest account of one man’s legal journey. I have removed one star for editing errors and give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

“Unworthy of Justice" by Francis Muchoki follows up on the authors experience in the British legal system as he searched for justice. It exposes the good and bad of the British legal system.

[Charles Benson]

A sobering glimpse into how easily trust can be weaponized, Unworthy of Justice had me reflecting on the fine line between ambition and exploitation. Muchoki’s journey isn’t just about a flawed franchise—it’s a raw, personal reckoning with a legal system that seems more protective of power than of fairness. What struck me most was the quiet resilience in the face of systemic indifference; it’s not just a legal battle, it’s a human one.
