Vindicate

A Jack Dillard Novel

De: Scott Pratt, J.D. Pratt

Narrado por: M. P. MacDougall

The new Jack Dillard novel

Two isolated killings.

Two potentially innocent men.

Jack Dillard—son of Joe—is a criminal defense attorney reeling in the wake of the ordeals he’s endured the last few years. He’s lost and angry, especially because the family reputation his parents built is in tatters. Though not entirely his fault, he blames himself.

When Jack is approached by a young podcaster who’s passionate about a convicted murderer’s innocence, he’s hesitant to get involved. But the case intrigues him, so Jack reluctantly agrees to assist.

Meanwhile, Jack’s wife and law partner, Charleston Dillard, is struggling to juggle his volatile moods, their shrinking law practice, and the challenges of raising their newly adopted daughter, Abby.

When Charlie is approached by a long-lost relative to represent a man charged in a local murder, she agrees to meet the prospective client. She and Jack need the money.

But she soon learns the victim’s father is one of the most powerful men in Unicoi County. And he is intent on seeing his son’s killer suffer.

As Jack and Charlie dig into the two cases, they begin to uncover strange connections between them. With pressure mounting, Jack becomes the target of a deeply unhinged enemy who will try to take everything from him, including his sanity, to stop him from discovering the truth.

And even the mighty Joe Dillard is powerless to help.

“Pratt’s richly developed characters are vivid and believable, especially the strong Southern women who fight their male-dominated culture from behind a façade of vulnerability.” (Publishers Weekly)

Hard Start......

I had trouble getting into this book but I persevered and it ended up being pretty good. It kept me guessing about the culprit and was surprised at who it was - good job authors as I really enjoy not figuring it out, One complaint is the synthesized voice of the villain - just didn't need that. All in all a good story!

Entertaining Story of Jack Dillard

I am enjoying this book series about Joe Dillard and his exploit. Vindicate was equally exciting, to feel how Jack Dillard came into his own! Looking forward to the next book!

Best of the series, in my view

Nice to see Jack Dillard come into his own. Interesting story, and a very satisfying resolution.

Meh

Definitely not as good as the Joe Dillard series. I had a really hard time getting into it and didn’t really care for the characters.

Manipulation to hide in plain sight

When a court reverses a conviction, it doesn't change the court of public opinion. Jack is recruited to help another convicted person get a reversal on his sentence. What seems as a straight forward case turns into a very much larger conspiracy.

Good enough

It was a little confusing, I have to listen twice to understand, although I think it was the narrator, he sounded flat, bored, I realized that the second time I listened.

Good not great

The beginning was slow, the plot strange, the ending was exciting, but slightly underdeveloped. I liked the characters. Worth the credit but not my favorite of the series

author children don't cut it

every title I have tried by an author's children has been terrible. no more.

This story was confusing

The story was not interesting
It seems that the story went all around the mulberry bush to say nothing
