It's a perfect book. Nothing to complain about at all!

This book had no slow parts, Had a great storyline, a great narrator and even a pretty great twist that made me say "Ah ha!"! While it wasn't difficult to assume the outcome of the book, the twist definitely kept it interesting and and it was just overall a great book! I am definitely off to look at some of this authors other books, as this was my first one. Also, it read great as a standalone. While I now want to listen to his other books, I hadn't ever listened to one before, so I knew none of the story leading up to this book, but I didn't need to. It was perfect. 

A very enjoyable listen

Recommended

reality of being criminal lawyer

author realistically conveys the stress and emotions of representing clients in capital crime cases.

Southern suspense

Good story and nail biter on how it would end! I’m enjoying the series - how will Hennessy get justice???

Great story line and well read.

Love the audio performance. Enjoy the little twists in the overall plot. Well written story

Southern Killer

Excellent story. Characters are all robust and I love how Hennessy is true blue, articulate, and “towering tall”! I wish they made these books into movies. Loved this series.

New favorite author!!!

This book is very hard to listen to if you issues with sensitive language however, the directness makes it authentic!
The southern killer, like the previous 2 Southern books, was written in a way that grabs you from the very first line! There are moments you hold your breath, and twists you didn’t see. Even the obvious outcomes are brought forth in a way you didn’t see! It’s hard to get a good story with a performance that is appealing. This series has nailed both! An author that has a great understanding of the law, and characters that are deep and relatable! I’m hooked! I hope the Joe Hennessy story never concludes!!!!

Best of the best. Couldn’t put it down.

Couldn’t put this one down. Can’t wait to listen to all the sequels. Craving for more.

The most suspenseful

i have enjoyed all three. this was the most suspenseful and just as good as the other two. I've already bought the 4th.

Joe's underlying commitment to his son.

I liked the story line, thought there could have been a little more backstory on the vineyard and why it was so important to keep.
