The People's Lawyer

Lettie Portman, Book 1

De: John Ellsworth

Narrado por: Thérèse Plummer

When the legal system fails to convict an abuser, what do you do?

Meet Assistant District Attorney Lettie Portman, a sex-crimes prosecutor whose past demands justice. When a 14-year-old girl is savagely attacked by her mother's live-in boyfriend, Lettie is called to the hospital. There, she meets a sweet young girl whose only goal is to go to school and come home to a safe environment. But mom's boyfriend makes the girl's world anything but safe. Soon, the abuse gets worse, and Lettie, the prosecutor, goes to the grand jury with the case. Two juries later, the abuser is still loose on the streets.

Lettie is no stranger to abuse. She takes matters into her own hands.

Will Lettie's own past interfere with her prosecution of what should be San Diego's Most Wanted? Will she be able to make peace with her own abuse and move on to become the hard-hitting prosecutor the young girl deserves right now? Is hope on the horizon?

Good.. but

This was a good book. Kept me interested from the beginning until she continued to prosecute and have coffee after her son went missing? I thought maybe I missed something and it was a flashback? But no. Just didn’t seem plausible.

a great story but too busy

the story was great but should have been told in a couple books. to many traffic events for one book.

Excellent narrator!

Therese Plummer does a fantastic job of differentiating among all the characters voices.

I appreciate the details the author put into the book; my heart goes out to all victims affected by the topic.

Why?!!

Ughhh story is great, characters are too but WHYYYYYY DO MOST NARRATORS FEEL THE NEED TO TALK LIKE BABIES. If the book says a child is 5 or 6, that’s all I need. I don’t need baby talk from an adult trying to be a child. The narrator was also so breathy that it started to give me anxiety.

Great thriller!

Loved the novel! It was exciting & suspenseful! Would highly recommend to others! Loved the strong female characters.

Absolutely worth a listen!!

It had me on the edge of my seat and had tears in my eyes too! If you can handle the wide range of emotions, listen!

How well the story went.

Nothing great story. Really made u feel you are in the story and can hope throughout for a good ending. Love the person read made it great story

Fast paced, gripping novel from beginning to the end. Unfortunately the events in this book are happy every day in this country

I very much listen to this gripping crime thriller
The narrator was brilliant and could change characters instantly
Yes, it was a free read but I will purchase books by this author anytime

Incredible

This book kept interested the whole time from beginning to end! Just wish Sleb would’ve been raped in prison! Lol

Captivating!

Outstanding story, great drama, it was like watching a movie. Kept you wanting to hear the story straight through. If this is book one I can’t wait for book two.
