About this listen

The year is 1990. A shocking murder of the star quarterback upends a sleepy Georgia town.

After his father Jack decides to risk everything by defending the accused, young Chance Meridian—along with his three best friends—must grow up fast when the uglier lessons of life interrupt their carefree boyhood. Jim Crow may be dead, but old attitudes die hard.

Chance and his friends learn something else—the courtroom is about the worst place in the world to find any justice.

A standalone suspense novel in the bestselling Atlanta Murder Squad series, A Town on Trial is a legal thriller about love, loyalty, and lost youth.

I’ve followed the Chance Meridian stories from the beginning and was excited to see a new release. But reading the description I was a bit concerned that I wouldn’t enjoy going back to Chance’s youth in 1990. I needn’t have worried! Grown-up Chance is there to frame the story, and the main narrative back in time is very good. Well-written, interesting, with believable characters and a good whodunnit plot that I didn’t guess. The court scenes are brilliant. Who wouldn’t love to have a dad like John Meridian? He’s Atticus Finch and Perry Mason. Can’t wait for the next in the series!

Brilliant! A lovely blend of ‘Stand by Me’ and ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ while still being its own story

absolutely loved this. I much preferred this format, I like the Atlanta murder squad books but this was the jewel in the crown for me. I loved how it was from the defence prospective but still ventured to the other side of the page. honestly can't fault this book.

Best book of the series so far
