About this listen

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed this novel.
Will move on immediately to second in series and hopefully the characters will be given more meat on the bones.

Enjoyable if a little longwinded

I certainly wouldn’t describe this as an intelligent read, or intelligently written. The characters and their conversation all seemed a little dumb. The court room scenes were fairly childlike.

The narrator was terrible. He really detracted from the experience and his style of reading is also very dumb, his character voices were unintelligent and slow, he made them all sound really stupid. Even when narrating passages that were descriptive rather than conversations he managed to sound really unintelligent. I really cannot abide that style of American audible reader. I’ll definitely not bother listening to anything else he reads.

Overall the story was ok, I won’t be hurrying to get the next in the series or any other book by this author.
