WINNER OF 2023 IPPY GOLD MEDAL!

"Sharp-witted, big-hearted, and authentic, Implied Consent is a knock-out of a novel from a writer who knows both the letter of the law and the messiness of real life."—Catriona McPherson, multi-award winning author of In Place of Fear.

Attorney Maureen Gould has a dark secret and a hunger for justice.

When a powerful movie producer attacks, and then fires, his young female assistant, Maureen sets out to make things right.

Enter defense counsel and Maureen's estranged father, Frank Gould, a man more evil than his client. Inside and outside of the courtroom, Frank pulls every dirty trick known and makes up a few of his own.

To win justice for her client Maureen must defeat her father and free herself from her past.

Secrets trap the shamed with the guilty. Truth will set them free.

Unexpected!

This book was so much more than I expected. So detailed. So real. Felt every frustration these characters endured. Such a well-written book.

Great Book

This was my first time listening to this author and I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely be listening to the next book in the series.

Too many story faults!

Choppy narration caused this listen to be tedious. Very robotic and even when sped up was rough.
Story line had many holes and a lack of feeling. When significant events happen (murder, theft, bombing) the characters seem unfazed and just continue on. I did not feel a connection with any of them. The base story of sexual harassment was handled well enough. Still not understanding the main character’s divorce of her husband who still was around all the time and was always supportive when it was not deserved!

Outstanding

This book captured me from the first chapter and I couldn’t put is down. The unexpected twists and turns, plus the internal battle Maureen has, just kept me glued the story. The narrator was excellent. Get this book. I will be getting the second book in the series and hope there are many more.

Great story

Very good narrator, good story, great twist. Kept me captivated from the beginning and I couldn't stop listening!

Absorbing

Loved it all. One of those books I couldn’t put down! I look forward to reading more in this series.

Good Story, So-So Narrator

The plot and characters are well-written. I enjoyed the novel as a whole. The narrator, however, does not do this book any justice. She was slow and robotic. I listened to over half of the novel before she stopped grating my nerves. I had to select 1.5 playback speed in order to remain interested, which is a shame since the story is so good. I added the other Maureen Gould novels to my wish list, but they are all narrated by the same person, so I guess I will just have to deal with it.
