Bad Faith: A Harper Ross Legal Thriller

Jackson County Legal Thriller Series, Book 1

De: Rachel Sinclair

Narrado por: Emily Sutton-Smith

A transgendered youth accused of a brutal murder....

An attorney on the brink of self-destruction....

Attorney Harper Ross is at the end of her rope. Her former client, John Robinson, who she walked on a technicality, went on to kill again. John's second victim was a young, vibrant mother of two. After suffering with the devastating guilt about the evil that she unleashed back onto the street, Harper retreats to her old haunt, a bar called Charlie Hooper's, as she confronts her old demons.

Before she has a chance to completely drown her sorrows, Harper is called to defend Heather Morrison, a transgendered youth who is accused of killing her mother in cold blood. Heather insists that it was self-defense; Harper has her doubts.

As Harper gets further into investigation of the case, she discovers an evil beyond anything that she knew was possible. Her investigation of a church leads her to a Reverend who preaches hatred from the pulpit, and possibly more.

Harper gets closer to the truth, yet further away from proving anything in a court of law. Her case seems to be sinking, and nothing can possibly save it.

i couldnt complete it

she is not acknowledging the fact that when a child clams sexual abuse, it is taken very seriously, and if it's a foster child, the child is immediately removed from the house and an investigation starts.

In most states, lawyers are considered mandatory reporters of child abuse when a child reports it.

Could be better....

Started promising, but continues and ended lame, no twist, no intrigue, no even satisfaction of punishing the bad guy...

Complex and timely issues

Author did a nice job tackling some very complex and timely topics. Narrator was great at navigating the various characters, including some with accents!

story line.

held my interest with not being predictable. Enjoyed the character development and their very real problems as well as the ways they dealt with them.

PG-Rated Legal Thriller

The book explored a current hot button topic, but the protagonist was just SO open-minded and tolerant. Too much explained vs. illustrated. The Aussie characters’ accent was terrible and his dialog sounded stereotypical rather than authentic. A few good legal tricks were pulled off- probably my favorite part o the story.

Terrible

Writing is poor. Characters cartoonish. The dialogue is full of cliches. Not worth your credits.

Slow

It was free so I didn’t listen to the preview. Wish I had so I didn’t waste my time in the first 10 chapters.
