Publisher's summary

When a disabled veteran takes a new job as an attorney in a small Wyoming town, he is thrust into a mysterious murder case.

Sam Johnstone was hoping for renewal when he took a job at a boutique law firm in rustic Wyoming. The mountains and streams of the West would be a refreshing, quiet place to start over after years of war and turmoil in his personal life.

But after a local woman is brutally murdered, Sam realizes that things aren’t so quiet in this rural American town. The accused is one Tommy Olsen, a known delinquent who had been sleeping with the victim. Sam is repulsed by the crime and wants nothing to do with the case but meets with Tommy to make sure he has legal representation. Yet things are not as they seem.

What begins as a cut-and-dry case becomes infinitely more complicated as new facts are uncovered, and Sam agrees to serve as Tommy’s defense attorney. With the killer’s identity still unknown, Sam is enveloped in the small-town politics and courtroom drama of a murder investigation that keeps getting more shocking.

But if Sam can’t uncover the truth, an innocent man might be punished...while the real killer watches from the shadows.

Enjoyable

Good story. Good characters and dialogue. I’ll listen to the next in the series for those reasons. I’m hoping the legal procedural details become more realistic, but overall I enjoyed the listen.

Great ‘Who Done It’

This turned out to be a really good story. If you like courtroom drama then you’ll love this book. A lot of courtroom tactics and rules are easily explained which I found fascinating. The beginning was a bit difficult for me because a lot of characters were introduced and I had a hard time keeping them all straight (which is why I gave the story only 4 stars) but as the story went on the characters became more clear.

Great legal drama

Loved the book, great legal thriller with lots of bends and turns. Excited and interesting. Makes you recognize the limitations of our legal system but also appreciate it.

Educational

The author was clearly educating the novice audience with a good story which engaged readers. It got tedious at times, but his purpose was honorable. Those conversations would really not happen in the manner the early chapters depicted. But he’s a good author and will likely vary his manner in the future writings.

Legal thriller

At times the story got off track and lost it’s way - otherwise it was good to listen.
