About this listen

The City Attorneys' Office series started off as a goof, and a way for author, Christopher Stockwell, to process the annoyance and irritation of working as a municipal criminal prosecutor. It became much more than that.

The story follows a love triangle between Ben, Maria, and Erin. These three are the legs holding up a stool loaded with satirical, absurdist, and transgressive observations. Through that common storytelling device of the love triangle, Stockwell is able weave in the social commentary that is the true point of the series.

Ben is a miscreant, a working-class kid who never should have wound up as a lawyer at all. Professional camouflage hid that fact for a long time. His pragmatic approach to the prosecutor's job often leaves him at odds with the suckers inhabiting the Land of Lollipops.

Have a look behind the curtain. Most people think being a criminal lawyer is like what they see on Law & Order. It's not. It's like what you see on Better Call Saul. Enjoy!

Review of "City Attorney's Office: Book One: Professional Camouflage"

Christopher J. Stockwell's "Professional Camouflage" is a brilliantly absurd and satirical romp through the world of Seattle's legal elite. The audiobook brings to life the quirky dynamics of the City Attorney's Office, where the personal and professional collide in the most unexpected ways.

Maria's humble roots, Ben's chip-on-the-shoulder attitude, and Erin's quest for fulfillment create a rich tapestry of characters that are both relatable and outrageous. The narrative is sharp, witty, and filled with moments that had me laughing out loud. The courtroom scenes crackle with tension, but it's the chaos outside that truly captivates.

The narration enhances the experience, drawing you deeper into the absurdity of it all. If you’re looking for a romance that defies convention and challenges societal norms, this audiobook is a must-listen. Stockwell has a unique voice, and I can't wait for the next installment! Highly recommended!

Each character brings their own quirks and baggage, making for a dynamic, at times chaotic, ensemble cast. Maria’s grounded nature, Ben’s unyielding chip on his shoulder
