About this listen

Detective Max Rupert's and attorney Boady Sanden's friendship is being pushed to the breaking point. Max is convinced that Jennavieve Pruitt was killed by her husband, Ben. Boady is equally convinced that Ben, his client, is innocent. As the case unfolds, the two are forced to confront their own personal demons.

Max is still struggling with the death of his wife four years earlier, and the Pruitt case stirs up old memories. Boady hasn't taken on a defense case since the death of an innocent client, a man Boady believes he could have saved but didn't. Now he is back in court, with student Lila Nash at his side, and he's determined to redeem himself for having failed in the past.

Vividly told from two opposing perspectives, the truth about the stunning death of Jennavieve Pruitt remains a mystery until the very end.

The series follows along with characters,however; each story is in its own rite. well written and portrayed by each of the narrators. I enjoyed winding through this with the characters, uncovering more & more.

Excellent Series, can be read stand alone.

What a great did he / didn’t he narrative!
I’ve only just discovered Allen Eskens and I have binged 3 of his books in a row in a matter of days! This next installment did not disappoint.
I love that the books keep growing on existing characters and entwining themselves with previous stories, but also stand up independently of each other.

This story specifically kept me on my toes and had me jumping from the prosecution’s side to defense’s side and back again. New clues, an unattainable lead, lies, deceptions - and then the ending. Great story.
Off to listen to book 4.

Kept me guessing till the end

Great Story

I find Eskens books really easy to listen to. I love the characters, and this was an interesting plot. I recommend it to people who like books that are legal drama’s rather than thrillers. The only problem was that I listened way longer into the night than I should have and it made it hard to wake up in the morning. I couldn’t put it down.

Another great one!
