De: Robin James

Narrado por: Teri Clark Linden

A savage killing…

A victim every cop in town wants to avenge...

A shocking confession by an accused with no remorse…

A case no other lawyer would dare touch…

Someone didn’t just want Megan Lewis dead. They wanted her obliterated. Even the most seasoned crime scene analysts were haunted by what they found. When Megan’s married ex-boyfriend admits to the murder, her family may at least get the mercy of swift justice.

Defense attorney Cass Leary has every reason to steer clear of this case. Her client, Reed Karl might just be the most hated man in town. But one look at the police report and Cass knows something doesn't add up. And when Reed’s wife and young daughter beg her to help him, she can’t find the heart to say no.

With the odds stacked against her, Cass is all in on a murder trial that threatens to ruin her career and cost her the one person she can't live without. But only Cass knows there's another, more vulnerable victim's life at stake. If she walks away now, she'll have blood on her hands she can never wash clean.

Sometimes, small-town justice comes with a price too high for even Cass Leary to pay.

Good Book

I really enjoyed this story. I wondered from the beginning if I had it right and I did. I thought the narrator was excellent with the exception of the childish voice of Reed. I could hardly stand it and almost quit listening. Besides that I thought it was an excellent story.

Plot twist

Kept me listening from the first line. Every time I thought I had it figured out there was a new twist.

Predictable

A little predictable. Not as many little side stories as are common n I his series.

Narrator

Some of the characters voices were irritating The narration ruined the story for me. Otherwise it was just ok

Robin James does it again

Robin James has written another outstanding book in the Cass Leary Legal Thriller series. At first I had my hopes up that this time I would be able to figure who really committed the crime, but once again I failed I was feeling confident in my guess until the tight twists near the end caught by surprise.. Well done Robin James. I can’t wait until the next one, in the meantime on to the Maya Brent series by Robin James.

Fun listen.

The listen was enjoyable. The story was predictable right from the start, but it was still interesting finding how it would resolve.

Enjoyable

This book in the Cass Keary series has everything I have enjoyed about the entire series. However this book was very predictable in its outcome. Also the characters were not as like able and sympathetic as in previous books. I still liked the book but not one of my favorites the series.

Highly recommended

Gosh, I had NO IDEA of the twist near the end and another one in the last chapter!!! Gets your heart pumping for sure!

Another excellent Robin James legal thriller

Deadly Defense is Book 13 in the outstanding Cass Leary legal thriller series. She also authors the Mara Brant series which I recommend. If you like legal thrillers give Robin James a try.
