Summary
He also comes home to one of Dallas' most beautiful women, with whom he has a much-loved daughter, Boo. For Fenney, life could not be better. But when a senator's son is killed in a hit-and-run, Fenney is asked by a state judge to put his air-conditioned lifestyle on hold to defend the accused: a black, heroin-addicted prostitute, a client very different from the people Fenney usually represents. And, more importantly, she is not going be paying $350 an hour for the privilege of his services.
Under fire from all sides, Fenney drafts in a public defender. Yet as Scott prepares to hand the case over to Bobby, he feels increasingly guilty about the path he is taking, because Scott still believes in the principle of justice. The question is: does he believe in it strongly enough to jeopardise everything he holds dear? And to what lengths is the dead man's power-hungry father prepared to go to test Fenney's resolve?

Recording
I love Gimenez’s books and Pete Bradbury read it superbly, so it is such a shame it was let down by recording quality. Clearly it wasn’t recorded in a professional studio, with every mouth noise and stomach rumble audible. Why wasn't it properly edited and denoising software applied? Audible should have rejected the recording and asked for it to be cleaned up and resubmitted. Listeners, authors and narrators deserve more.

Very enjoyable.
A really good story, well narrated and very engaging. Characters are well developed throughout as the story moves along. Somehow the content surrounding the law and lawyer’s is unsurprising but very engaging.

Better than Grisham!
Really enjoyed the plot. Maybe felt a little slow at the beginning but it all came together beautifully at the end. A gripping listen.

Thoroughly enjoyable
Not listened / heard of this author before but it “ popped” up on my “ recommendation list”
Brilliant narration- loved it
Story very good kept you interested.
It’s not high octane it’s not fast paced neither is it’s the dramatics of the “ court drama” see in films.
But it is really good. I would recommend this and I’m going to get the next one .

Engaging
What made the experience of listening to The Colour of Law the most enjoyable?
Really enjoyed this book - John Grisham (sic) at his best! Kept me engaged throughout and the narration was excellent.

Good story, but...
I enjoyed the book as a whole as it was fast paced and and good story. My issue was with the characterisation. I am certainly no feminist, but it’s a very long time since I’ve read/listened to a book where ALL the adult female characters are either prostitutes, maids or trophy wives, whose career and life aspirations did not extend beyond marrying a rich man. Constant references to the men going to work and the women going shopping or doing charity work may me despair. I think the book was written in 2007, but the characterisation seemed more suited to the the 1950s!

Pete Bradbury sucks his teeth lots. It's a little annoying.
Story is ace. Really enjoyed it.
