Great story, terrible reader

I don’t want to put a bad review out about this book because the story is excellent. I listened to the audio book and the reader did all the voices, men’s and women’s, which is common in most cases. However this person made everyone other than the main character, sound absolutely weird and like a moron. Terrible terrible voices. If you’re going to have a woman as another main character, you might want to get a real woman to do the voice. I had a hard time listening but I finished it because the story itself was very good! Just my opinion.

Enjoyed the 4th book in the series

I really enjoyed this book the most in his series. However, I would cringe every time Terry spoke she was the cutest character but sounded like a crabby old lady and it wasn’t fair to her.

Enjoyable Legal Defence Audiobook

Burning Evidence is another enjoyable Leland Monroe legal defense audiobook as he takes on two court cases. He defends Jacob, a champion shooter focused on the Olympics, who is charged with drug possession, and Bobby, a pizza shop owner charged with arson and murder. This riveting audiobook has plot twists and intrigue. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Consistently good legal thriller

Unexpected plot twists and intertwining of story line and multiple characters. Nice continuation of this series and the main characters. Enjoyable read.

This series is good.

I love the characters in this. I like the small town setting. I love squatter!

Suspense

Once I started I could not stop. Very good storyline. Definitely would like to hear more stories from this author. Narration was good.
I received a free copy for an honest review

Fun story but annoying voices

I liked the story but the performance lagged. I finally increased the speed to 1.2x. The hypnotherapist with laryngitis and the southern males who sound like they smoked too many cigars and were half asleep were very annoying. The last quarter of the book was more palatable when Leland no longer had to deal with in person with Mary Ann and Bobby.

Mystery and Twists and Turns

This is the fourth book in the Small Town Lawyer Series. I liked the investigation, the mystery, and the twists and turns. The storyline is interesting, and intriguing. J J Hosenfeld did a great job bringing this story to life. I received a free copy of this audiobook via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great series

Great lawyering stories! Very well written and clean!!! Give it a try! I would definitely recommend all four books in this series.

A Brilliant Legal Thriller! STUNNING!

A restauranteur accused of arson resulting in death … a young man accused of possession with the intent to distribute … both clients of Leland Munroe, former prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney. Two unrelated cases and someone doesn’t want them defended… Only one word describes “Burning Evidence” and that word is STUNNING, from start to finish, absolutely stunning! The plot is beautifully woven, interesting, entertaining and holds just the right amounts of mystery and suspense. I love that any “legalisms” that might need explaining are brilliantly worked INTO the story so that even a legal newbie listener will have no issues understanding or following along! The plot itself is gloriously full of twists and surprises, and I’ll not be giving any details so that they remain just that, surprises for future listeners, though I will say my jaw IS a bit sore from hitting the floor … The characters are diverse, fully developed and have complete personalities. I really felt for the two defendants! I came to care about them, as well as the other characters. They became real to me as I listened, becoming one with this fabulously engrossing story. As with people in life, not all of the characters are ones I would choose to associate with, but to protect the guilty, I’ll refrain from naming names 🙂. All of the characters, and this engrossing story, came beautifully alive through fantastic narration! Emotionally on point, perfectly timed, and clearly voiced, leaving no doubt what the characters were feeling at any given time, truly giving life to the authors vision. I absolutely loved this stunning, five star story.
