About this listen

When 16-year-old Hannah Sheraton is arrested for the murder of her stepgrandfather, the chief justice of the California Supreme court, her distraught mother turns to her old college roommate, Josie Baylor-Bates, for help. Josie, once a hot-shot criminal defense attorney, left the fast track behind for a small practice in Hermosa Beach, California.

But Hannah Sheraton intrigues her and, when the girl is charged as an adult, Josie cannot turn her back. But the deeper she digs the more Josie realizes that politics, the law, and family relationships create a combustible and dangerous situation.

When the horrible truth is uncovered it can save Hannah Sheraton or destroy them both.

I honestly did not see that last twist coming. Great narration. Was hooked from the start!

Gripping storyline

Good effort and reasonable plot. I listened to the end but I find this style of narration (breathy and sentimental) a trifle annoying. That’s a personal issue; the pace and diction were great. If you enjoy courtroom drama, this is a good example.

Good story but a bit long winded

I loved this audiobook. So many twists and turns. So much raw passion. I was not expecting this to be so good. I am going to look for more from this author.
Highly recommend if you like courtroom drama.

would have rounded the story well.

Good story with plenty of twists

Struggled with the performance
Storyline and characters did not flow. All and everything scattered. Gave up.

Over dramatic
