About this listen

‘Everyone is going to say what a great guy and a great lawyer he was. He wasn't. He was a prick … And a shithouse lawyer.'

Gavin Jones is dead at thirty-nine. As a lawyer who controlled millions of dollars in fees per year, he was legal firm Howard Greene's biggest client and wielded that power with manipulative contempt. But he saved his worst behaviour for women, at work and at home.

The partners of Howard Greene relied on his favour to fund their lavish lifestyles. If sycophantic admiration of the man was all it took to secure work from Gavin, that's what they delivered. But no one liked Gavin. The list of those who suffered from his cruelty was long enough to include pretty much everyone who had contact with him. So who actually killed him?

A fast-paced and wickedly funny thriller about power and revenge set in the pristine towers of capitalism, How to Kill a Client is a scorching debut straight out of tomorrow's headlines.

Set in Brisbane. Great new author. Can’t wait for next book. Very human tale of a bit of corporate misogyny, working mothers and big law partners.

I listened to this book after being made redundant (read “sacked”) from a toxic boys club work place. I listened in disbelief as they described the company and characters I had just been dumped from.
It has been triggering but therapeutic listening, and I’m so glad it turned out to be such an excellent book.
Can’t recommend it enough - especially if you are a professional woman who just got ‘managed out’.

Well read and wholly convincing murder mystery. It was clear to see the lines of tension the story was building up to, but the murderer was still a surprise. Highly, highly recommend.

Complex, beautifully written and sometimes close to the bone

Suspenseful From Start to Finish

I devoured this book in a few days. I have laughed loved and shared and can’t wait for the next one! A witty hilarious and slightly scary depiction of big law in Australia with one liners I’ll be quoting with to tongue in cheek amusement for years to come. Well done Jenkins and keep ‘‘em coming please - your talents are wasted in the law!

My favourite book on audible!!
