Twisting Judgment

Small Town Lawyer, Book 6

De: Peter Kirkland, Daleth Hall

Narrado por: J J Hosenfeld

A murdered judge. An innocent accused. Justice comes at a deadly price.

Small town defense attorney Leland Munroe isn't afraid to tackle cases others run from. But when a federal judge plunges to his death from a locked courthouse stairwell just before testifying, Leland is pulled into a deadly investigation. Every clue he uncovers drags him deeper into a dark web of deceit.

The FBI arrests Vinny Baptiste, a courthouse janitor with a troubled past and ties to the courthouse. It looks like an open-and-shut case—except Leland doesn’t buy it. The judge had secrets of his own, and the evidence points to a far more influential suspect hiding in plain sight.

As Leland races to uncover the truth and defend an innocent man, the cost of justice grows steep. And the rural retreat that’s been a safe haven in the past comes under threat from an unexpected direction.

In a system rigged to protect the powerful, can Leland expose the truth before the killer claims another victim....

A good man and a good lawyer fighting the good fight.

Excellent legal procedural with well drawn characters and storyline. Attorney Leland Monroe is handling two cases one involving a death which appears to be a murder and another case with a young man charged for hacking financial information. He is representing two young men who could be innocent and whose lives will be derailed with out a dedicated defense.

Another great addition!

This is the sixth book in the Small Town Lawyer series, a legal thriller. It’s another great addition to the series. Leland’s investigation is entertaining and complex, full of intrigue, twists, and turns. The storyline is interesting and engaging. J.J. Hosenfeld did a great job bringing this story to life. I received a free copy of this audiobook via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Good Story

A pretty good legal thriller. But it tended to fizzle out towards the end like the book needed to end too soon. The narrator was very good with details and Lelund Monroe's character but son Noah sounded like a child and investigator/girlfriend Kathy had a slow old lady voice that totally ruined my vision of her.

Love this Series!

I have enjoyed every single story in this series, and this was one of my favorites. The legal aspects are always so interesting and I love how the characters have evolved. The narrator is so excellent that it’s hard to believe he is not the actual lawyer telling his story. Highly recommend! And my favorite part is a certain development that finally took place with this latest chapter in the series. I hope there are many more books in the future.

I loved these books; wish for more!

I loved these books; interesting, main characters are good people, plots are good. Excellent all around. I hope Mr. Kirkland writes many many more
