Summary

A small town murder hides a dark secret....

When online influencer Simone Baker asks Leland Munroe to defend her on a criminal charge, the small town lawyer is ready to say no. He’s not a criminal lawyer—despite what the people of Basking Rock seem to think. Social media and manslaughter are both far from his area of expertise. But with no other clients coming through his door, Leland takes the job to make ends meet.

At first, he figures the prosecution’s weak evidence should make for a simple defense. But Simone’s case isn’t as straightforward as it seems, and her testimony weaves a tale of missing young women, racism, and evidence tampering by local police.

Leland’s investigation soon reveals a criminal conspiracy lurking in the shadows of the small town. An innocent women may be tied up with a criminal organization he thought was gone from Basking Rock for good. And as the Jury’s verdict looms closer, it’s not just Simone’s freedom that hangs in the balance.

Leland’s own life is on the line as well....

Really interesting story

Well this was an interesting story about how money influences the internet, the court case was interesting and I liked how the interwove covid restrictions into the plot.

In the first book I struggled with the narration until about half way through, this time it felt completely natural; although there was nearly a year between me listening to the two.

Very interesting story line, suspenseful!

I really enjoyed listening to this book, the first from Mr. Kirkland and I believe also that it was the first for the narrator J J Hosenfeld. He did a good job of bringing the story to life for me. This book gave me a look into how people make money using the internet to influence people. Simone has done very well at it as she relates to the audience how she deals with her illness and healthy lifestyle. I was surprised by who was actually guilty in this book and I'm hoping if there is another book it will allow us to have a further look into what happened. I'm sorry I can't remember the lawyers name but his helper Terri was great at being able to find information. I would enjoy listening to more of this author's books. I received a free code for this book from Audiobooks Unleashed to listen to on Audible. This review is my own honest opinion

Really enjoying this series

I listened to book one as a random pick and liked where it was heading so got this the next book in his the series. I much preferred the narrator this time around, it is the same person, think i just got used to it( i did struggle with it in the first book) but came to actually like it. I liked the subtle humour throughout the book. I faded a little with the story line mid to a third of the way through but overall still decent and would read the next in the series.
