À propos de cet audio

After more than twenty years away from the law, Joe Hennessy is forced back into the courtroom.

Trying to save his vineyard after years of drought, Hennessy returns to practice in Charleston, South Carolina–the city he walked away from after the murder of his ten-year-old son.

When one of South Carolina's most powerful men is charged with possessing stolen artwork, Hennessy steps forward to defend him. But as Hennessy digs into the evidence, as he navigates the truth, he finds that the criminal charges are only the start of their problems…

Despite his full workload, Hennessy takes on the defense of a young woman charged with stabbing her ex-boyfriend in a violent rage. As he prepares for the trial, he discovers there's more to the case than is presented by the prosecution.

While the cases twist and turn, Hennessy fights to prove that both clients are innocent. But to expose the truth, he must take one of the most dangerous risks of his life.

Can he ensure that justice triumphs? Or will the cases send him to an early grave?

Author Peter O'Mahoney introduces defense lawyer 'Joe Henessy' - a jaded, gruff, disillusioned attorney forced to return to practicing law in Charleston, South Carolina by life circumstances.
• The character is moderately unlikable but impressively 3-dimensional
•O'Mahoney overdoes it with threats against Hennessy's life & livelihood but uses tension to drive the plot relentlessly
•The courtroom testimony is scripted a little bit too punctiliously but the author drops 'Perry Mason'-styled revelations in a pair of twisty-turny cases with abandon.. and weaves them together plausibly

I liked this imperfect book just fine.

As to presentation: Podium Audio Inc. offers exemplary technical support to a genuinely outstanding Bradford Hastings. I would listen to more from Mr. Hastings any day - his unimpeachable diction and exceedingly comfortable baritone reading timbre are complemented by great voice-acting and a near-psychic understanding of the author's intended tone.

Altogether, 'The Southern Lawyer' merits 8 out of 10 stars. To be certain, I didn't set expectations too high and won't be reading further in the series, but the book was easily good enough to prompt me to look for more from Mr. O'Mahoney.
I feel quite fortunate to have found the book on the 'Plus' menu.. because this first in the 'Southern Lawyer' Series would rate a Credit. Give it a try and see if Henessy is for you.

Hadn’t heard of this author before. It was an interesting story with an interconnecting throughline.

Two cases tied tightly together.

The author makes you feel like as long as the law is on your side you can prevail in court. Unfortunately this is not always true in real life however, it feels good to read about it.
This book moves quickly and has interesting character characters. I’d recommend it.
