Resumen del Editor

Garrett Goodlove used to be an arrogant criminal defense attorney with a drive to win at all costs. But a pair of tragic events threw him into a bottomless depression, and he retreated into the practice of family law. Now he tries to settle cases in ways that make everyone happy. He’s a nicer person, but has he lost his edge?

His kinder, gentler life is disrupted when the police arrest his estranged twin sister Carly. She’s accused of shoving her husband off a cliff into the storm-tossed Pacific Ocean. Worse, the vicious detective on the case has a grudge against her and has vowed to send her to prison, even if he has to cheat to do it.

Carly, deaf since birth, refuses to be defended by anyone other than her twin brother. But the intense connection that binds the siblings tells Garrett that she may not be revealing everything she knows. If Garrett can’t keep this new stress from pushing him back into depression, the defense will fail, condemning his sister to an isolated life in prison, cut off from the deaf community she needs.

Just lost a whole Sunday afternoon

to this book!

I binged it from start to finish, I didn't want to shut it off!
I'm a huge fan of the legal genre, name an author and chances are I have read at least one of their books, it is so good to have another author to add to the list!

The way the story is told is very fluid, not something I expected when I realized that one of the characters could only communicate via A.S.L. The depth of knowledge Mr. Macy has on the subject is impressive. It feels like he has experienced living this first hand, not as someone who did a bit of research to add it to character's story line.

All the characters are well developed and each has a story line that you want to be invested in. I am hoping this will become a franchise, we could use some new talent out there in this genre. I want to get to know the folks in the story better! If you are a M. Connelly fan....pay attention...LOL.....once you hear something toward the end of the story you'll get why I am writing this!

This isn't a "heavy drama", points had me laughing out loud as my dogs and husband looked at me like I was nuts.

Couple of times I snorted iced tea, the chuckles kinda come out of no where.

It's sorta Boston Legal screw ball comedy without Denny Crane.

Nick Sullivan is a fantastic 5 star narrator.

I first heard him when I got hooked on the Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series.

The guy is a pro!

He has a solid handle on all the accents used along with deftly handling nuances and inflection. If you are someone who doesn't enjoy a single gender reading for both genders....don't let that stop you from grabbing this story. He doesn't even TRY to "fake" a female voice...so much easier on the ears then narrators who try to force a gender sounding tone.

Now the part I really don't want to write, but need to.
I got this book free (Audiobook Boom) with the promise of an honest review.

I WISH I'd purchased this book so I didn't have to add this to my review...since I know some folks can look at a review with such a disclaimer as possibly not being all that authentic or honest.

I'm tellin ya...if you enjoy a good legal theme that wraps up well, isn't heavy drama, enjoy having your funny bone tickled in the midst of a great legal story line.......get this book!

You'll be hooked! Now I am just wondering when Mr. Macy will have another book ready to go! Soon I hope!!

Superb writing

Funny, provocative, great story. Kept me interested until the end. I thought I knew the ending but was surprised.

Excellent! I couldn't stop listening!

This, by far, is one of the best books I have ever read. The characters come to life. The author brings the characters to life. He also gives background on each character. There is good correlation between the characters and the courtroom drama. It has kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially those who share an interest in courtroom dramas. If I could have given a higher number of stars I would have!

Great for Bar study

Listened to this when breaking while studying. Loved the Crim Pro highlights in action and guffawed when you worked in MYLEGS. Much appreciated. I will go on to read all your books. Val

Great

Great story with twists and turns, Rand great reader. So ice to hear a reader that speaks cleanly.

Had me guessing

Very well written and had me guessing until the very end. And the narrator did an excellent job with the different voices. Will read more of his novels.

Hard to put down mystery

This book has a great story that grabs you right from the start. The narrator adds to the story and makes you want to keep listening. I was surprised at some of the thought provoking points in the story and that just added an extra layer. Definitely worthy of ten stars.

Pret-ty good

Narrator was great! Storyline was good. It was entertaining and a welcome change to the TC rut I've found myself in!

loved the Deaf culture

great murder mystery and I loved the characters especially the good portrayal of Deaf culture!

Great and very easy to listen to

Like many of you I read all of the popular legal thrillers. This is much lighter and just as much fun. Lots of suspense and plot twists. Very entertaining.
