Summary

Detective Max Rupert's and attorney Boady Sanden's friendship is being pushed to the breaking point. Max is convinced that Jennavieve Pruitt was killed by her husband, Ben. Boady is equally convinced that Ben, his client, is innocent. As the case unfolds, the two are forced to confront their own personal demons.

Max is still struggling with the death of his wife four years earlier, and the Pruitt case stirs up old memories. Boady hasn't taken on a defense case since the death of an innocent client, a man Boady believes he could have saved but didn't. Now he is back in court, with student Lila Nash at his side, and he's determined to redeem himself for having failed in the past.

Vividly told from two opposing perspectives, the truth about the stunning death of Jennavieve Pruitt remains a mystery until the very end.

Gripping story from the beginning

I don't want to give too much of the story away in this review, but what I will say is that this book is well written with a good plot and strong characters. RC Bray and David Collacci are brilliant and have given life to the characters in this book. A very good listen - I would highly recommend.

Getting to know the characters better

I like the interconnection of the characters, and that we are updated on the absent Joe.
The voice for Max seemed too old for me. Not a complex plot, couple of nice twists
Found it a quick easy entertaining listen. Best read in order

Good if you need to listen something

Easy listen, sometimes boring; no art included but relaxing with steady development and predictable plot

Better than Book 2

This had a good amount of twists and turns and a satisfying ending. There are multiple narrators which seemed unnecessary and didn’t add anything. The narrator that starts the book was awful and monotonous but thankfully once the story got going he appeared less. Very bizarre to call the series Joe Talbert. His character in the first book was not in book 2 and only marginally referenced in this one. I’ll listen to the next in the series as it’s free but wouldn’t pay for it.
