About this listen

Homicide prosecutor David Brunelle faces the most difficult case of his career. An innocent young girl is murdered in a heinous, unforgivable way. The only evidence against the killer is the full confession of his accomplice - another young girl he also victimized. But the accomplice is charged with the murder as well, which means that she has the right to remain silent. And she's so scared of the killer, she refuses to take a deal to testify against him.

Brunelle can't just let the murderer walk, but how can he get a conviction when he has no admissible evidence and the killer is protected by the presumption of innocence?

Mediocre story, unsympathetic characters, utterly spurious plot, which frankly just annoyed me.

I really don’t know why I stuck with it to the very implausible ending….

Not the best listen

As legal thrillers go it is about average. The story winds down somewhat abruptly and fairly absurdly. There is nothing particularly interesting or endearing about the prosecuting lawyer, the murder is especially revolting and the super villain somewhat improbabie. I wouldnt listen to it again but am curious about the next in the series.

Not a bad read

Started with promise but the sexualisation ruined it, ‘what a great brief couldn’t help visualising her panties’ Not for me in any way. Backward writing with no place in my library

Spoilt by the overuse of age old sexual connotation
