About this listen

An innocent client harbors dark secrets....

Defense Attorney Leland Monroe lost it all: his big-city job, his reputation, and, worst of all, his loving wife. Now he’s back in his hometown to hit restart and repair the relationship with his troubled son. But the past is always present in a small town.

Leland returns to find his high school sweetheart hasn’t had the easiest of lives - especially now that her son faces a death sentence for murdering his father. Yet what appears to be an open-and-shut case is anything but. As Leland digs deeper to uncover a truth even his client is determined to keep buried, a tangled web of corruption weaves its way throughout his once tranquil hometown.

Leland soon realizes it’s not just his innocent young client’s life that’s at stake - powerful forces surface to threaten the precious few loved ones he has left.

I usually don't like courtroom dramas but this was an exception. There was enough character development to engage me in their story.
I wasn't initially a fan of the narrator but that quickly changed.

Very entertaining

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed the story flowed. The narrator had a wonderful voice but seemed to have a bit of trouble with different voices. It did not take away from the enjoyment of the audiobook just a bit of constructive support.
I recommend this book and look forward to many more from this author
