From James Patterson, the world's number one best-selling author: A young lawyer takes on the judge who is destroying her hometown - and ends up in jail herself.

In picture-perfect Erva, Alabama, the most serious crimes are misdemeanors. Speeding tickets. Shoplifting. Contempt of court.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“I couldn’t put down The Jailhouse Lawyer, a page-turning legal thriller that exposes a headline-making crisis in the American courts: the new debtors’ prisons, where an inability to pay court costs sentences poor people to jail, with devastating consequences.” (Tony Messenger, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist, author of Profit and Punishment: How America Criminalizes the Poor in the Name of Justice)

A happy accident

I accidentally purchased this title but I am certainly glad I did. First, what a surprise to get two titles for the price of one and both of such great quality. The stories never dragged, never felt the lull which is sometimes felt in courtroom titles. The author did a great job with making you feel the struggle and helpless feeling of the character. I recommend this title and I am happy about my accidental purchase.

Loved it!

I enjoyed the book. I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to know what was going to happen I bought the actual book and the audio version so when I couldn’t read I could listen. This is the first James Patterson book I have read and I’m eager to see what else he has written. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It did seem very long and some what drawn out but personally I liked that in this book because when you ended the book you didn’t feel left hanging. The long drawn out part wasn’t for nothing. I was satisfied with it and was glad I didn’t waste my time reading something that left me lost or left to my imagination at the end.

2 storylines for 1 credit. Nice change

Well done. Great James Patterson book. Well written. Well narrated! Great suspense in both stories.
Liked the 2 for 1! Same characters. Think the part 2 should’ve been before main storyline because lays groundwork background info for main title.
Hopefully sequel??!!

Entertaining with some exceptions

The plot had its moments of intrigue but the repetitiveness of the details was annoying at times. It had sufficient intrigue to hold my attention. The narrator’s southern accent and mimic of the men’s voices was overemphasized & overly dramatized. Not enough to deter my interest.
I recommend the book with some reservations.

The Jailhouse Lawyer and Public Defender

Great combination, storylines, character development. and narration. Hard to put down with twists and turns throughout.

I was very hesitant to listen to a woman but it was very good and I will be more open. The story line was great
