The Southern Lawyer

The Southern Lawyer Series, Book 1

De: Peter O'Mahoney

Narrado por: Bradford Hastings

After more than twenty years away from the law, Joe Hennessy is forced back into the courtroom.

Trying to save his vineyard after years of drought, Hennessy returns to practice in Charleston, South Carolina–the city he walked away from after the murder of his ten-year-old son.

When one of South Carolina's most powerful men is charged with possessing stolen artwork, Hennessy steps forward to defend him. But as Hennessy digs into the evidence, as he navigates the truth, he finds that the criminal charges are only the start of their problems…

Despite his full workload, Hennessy takes on the defense of a young woman charged with stabbing her ex-boyfriend in a violent rage. As he prepares for the trial, he discovers there's more to the case than is presented by the prosecution.

While the cases twist and turn, Hennessy fights to prove that both clients are innocent. But to expose the truth, he must take one of the most dangerous risks of his life.

Can he ensure that justice triumphs? Or will the cases send him to an early grave?

Great Story!

Good storyline and introduction to the characters. Looking forward to continuing the series and reading more by this author.

Southern Spice Wrapped in a Crime Story

Great lawyer tale with all the flavor of the old south. I can’t wait for Book 2.

Loved the mentions of Clemson University

Great story set in the state I spent most of my years, made the story come alive for me.

Kept my interest

Very slow. Details seemed forced. Good story. Interesting twists. Took a long time to get there.

I really liked the lead of the story.

It was a good story that grabs you. The good characters were so likable and the bad ones were just terrible.

The narrator did an incredible job.

The storyline kept my attention and I loved how the two stories merged together at the end.

Good plot

Good plot held my interest. Liked the characters, easy to follow. Good ending made you want to listen to more.

Extremely Average

The book was fine, enough to keep me engaged and to think about picking up the next book, but nothing about it really stood out. The first half of the book honestly read more like a detective story than anything, which is not really what you’d like out of a legal thriller. At no point did I feel like Joe was an actual lawyer. The author tried to give him this tough edge making him come across as a private investigator, a detective maybe, but nothing to indicate that he was a lawyer first and foremost or even cared about the spirit of the law. Nothing about the little details about being in court. Very little strategy discussion. Lacking in detail about legal proceeding, court motions, or even his opinion on the cases. The cases themselves were fairly simplistic and quite forgettable. And the final courtroom scene was like something out of a bad tv police show, think a Castle court scene rather than Law & Order.
