Jimmie Grant was once part of a Florida biker gang with the handle of 'Night' but he and his mother were relocated to Montana under the witness protection programme after he helped the FBI in foiling an attempt on Matt Deal's life when Deal was a detective in Florida.

Grant changed his name to Walter Williams and passed the Montana bar exams and is now a public defender. In the small town where Matt Deal is now sheriff, they meet again.

A Righteous Man

I was entertained by book five as much as the other books in this series even though Matt Deal played more of a supporting role character in this story. I liked the character named Jimmie Grant/Walter Williams as Jimmie turned his life around to become a lawyer who fought for justice against a very corrupt system in his town. I followed the tortuous path and was emotionally moved by Jimmie/Walter as he worked to protect a man who had been falsely accused of a crime. I thought Steve Schaeffer's narration was fine. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which included my honest opinions regarding this story.

Captivating!

This is the fifth book in the series. The story is different than the others books in the series. The plot is complex and intriguing, filled with lies, conspiracy and twists and turns. I liked Walter/Grant's dedication and determination. The story is grippingly captivating. The characters are well developed. Steve Schaeffer did a great job bringing this story to life. #StoryOrigin

A Law Enforcement Politics/Legal thriller.

Night's Redemption: A Detective Matt Deal Thriller (Detective Matt Deal Thrillers Book 5), my twelfth read from author Stephen Bentley, a 273-page Law Enforcement Politics/Legal thriller. “I received an Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Owning both the Audible & Kindle copies of this book allowed me to read along while being read to." Steve Schaeffer's narration was perfect for this book. The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I own 13 other books by this author and look forward to reading more from him. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

entertaining legal thriller

Audiobook review:
I enjoyed the narrator. His pronunciation was clear, displayed emotions, and was pleasant.

The story was good. Walter, a public defender, was facing an uphill battle in defending Samuel and then he discovered the corruption. He adds exposing this corruption as his mission. If you like legal thrillers, I recommend this story.

I thought there was several repetitive statements made in the story and I was confused with his response to Susan's betrayal in the courtroom when he knew about it earlier. Because of these items, I've rated it only 4 stars. As others have mentioned, Walter's friend, Matt, is in the background not the main character.

I received a free copy of this audible book from the author via StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
