In Good Faith

Joe Dillard, Book 2

De: Scott Pratt

Narrado por: Tim Campbell

A family of four is slaughtered in rural Tennessee.

Two weeks later, a retired high school principal and his wife are brutally slain.

Two Satan-worshipping teens stand accused.

It's up to prosecutor Joe Dillard to convict them. A former defense attorney who spent way too much time defending people he knew were guilty, Joe is determined to win this case to atone for his past. But an evil young woman named Natasha is responsible for the slayings and Joe knows it. Natasha is walking around free because the two boys who have been arrested are too terrified to implicate her. Now Joe must risk everything—including his family's safety and his own life—to bring an evil murderer to justice.

Outstanding legal fiction

If you love legal fiction as I do, you will love Joe Dillard. These are well-thought-out books, and I encourage anyone interested in this genre to read the whole series!

Another good one

This one caught me off guard and I really like the change.

The highlights; No spoilers here. The story takes a right turn from the first one. Normally it's not required to read the previous books when it comes to legal thrillers as they seldom build on each other...this is the exception.

Now for the 2 likes and 2 dislikes

First, as I mentioned above, I like the plot change this book took from the last one. This was an unexpected change that most writers don't have the balls to pull as not all readers may like it. This reader did, a lot!

Second, I really like the multiple plot lines that wove through the story. Too often authors center a legal thriller around one case & that's what the world revolves around. Seldom is life that simple

Dislikes
1- it wasn't easy to name two dislikes about this book as it is very well written. The characters are built up well with their own flaws and strengths. The one thing that would improve the book is making the book longer by adding in more details. There are more then a few times when we are told the end result when I am very interested in the journey. These books are about 1/3-1/2 the size of, say, a John Grisham novel. Plenty of room to expand. Sure I could make it through in one day but I would like extra

2) I really can't think of a second thing that would improve the book, it's that good

Good Read

I loved the first book the second was entertaining but not what I would normally read. The story was just too far fetched.

Good old fashioned story telling

I wanted to come back to it when I had to break from reading. Good flow. Plenty of surprises . And the author paints clear, sometimes disturbing scenes. Some interesting twists.

Joe Dillard #2

Fantastic! I just found these books (thanks to Amazon for pointing them out) and I'm in love with the main character, Joe Dillard. Sometimes the second book isn't as interesting as the first but in this case I couldn't stop listening. The narrator has a wonderful voice also. Mr. Pratt has hit the jackpot with this character. Joe is a great husband and father and wants so much to be as honest as possible but sometimes the ugly reality of life slaps him upside the head and he does what it takes to protect his family. I'm really enjoying his flip from defending the "innocent " to prosecuting the guilty. li have listened to the 1st and final 2and books in 3 days. They are wonderful.

Scott Pratt's second book is even better than the first!

This was a Great read/story. I Found it impossible to put down. I highly recommend it!

Finally, a murder mystery without foul language

Would you consider the audio edition of In Good Faith to be better than the print version?

I didn't read, I listened.

What other book might you compare In Good Faith to and why?

An Innocent Client, also by Scott Pratt. It was a pleasure to listen to a great story without having to endure foul language, which I don't want in my brain and try to avoid.

What about Tim Campbell’s performance did you like?

He read smoothly and fluently with no distracting mismatched voices, he just brought me right into the story.

Another great story! <br />

Good plot, character development, more than one story line... all packed together into an enjoyable read. I'm on to the next in this series.

Love Joe Dillard

This is my second Scott Pratt Joe Dillard novel and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. Good characters, exciting, multi faceted story line. Can't wait to start the third in his series.

I love Joe Dillard!

I have read or listened to 3 Joe Dillard books and love each one, although book 3 was not as believable.. The characters are well developed. I thoroughly enjoy this series.
