Publisher's summary

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Blood Money is an extensive rewrite of a book I wrote a few years ago called "Russo's Gold." While I was satisfied with most of "Russo's Gold," there were parts of it that I wanted to improve. I also wanted to incorporate it into the Joe Dillard series, and that is what I've done. I hope you enjoy it.—Scott Pratt

A secret buried deep in the past is on the verge of coming to light.

Its discovery could trigger malevolent forces that have lain in wait for decades.

In the sixth volume of the best-selling Joe Dillard series, Dillard does something he has never done before—he hires a young associate. Her name is Charleston Story, she is bright and beautiful, and in her very first case, she winds up inheriting an item so valuable that it threatens to destroy her and everything she cares about. As Dillard tries to help and advise his young protégé, he finds himself dragged into a web of danger and intrigue, a web so thick that he may never be able to extract himself.

Yet another great from Scott Pratt!

One of my favorites in the stellar Joe Dillard series! The audio performance was also great as with all the books in this series, although as a reader who is from the East Tennessee area where this is set, I wish the narrator had studied how the locals pronounce a lot of the place names (e.g. Blountville, Watauga, Elizabethton). But that's a minor thing that only locals would even notice and doesn't at all take away from the story. Another fine work from Scott Pratt!

Deserves six stars!

This Joe Dillard novel, #6, is a bit darker than the first five, but it is superb. I do not understand why Scott Pratt does not get more attention as a legal thriller author. As always, Tim Campbell does a great job of narration.

Highly recommended, as are all prior books in the series.

good

Scott Pratt is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. I also listen to the books on auditable and I enjoy the narration

jwt

awesome plot great story. Scott Pratt has a head full of great novels. looking forward to reading them all.

Scott Pratt has completely won me over!!

Discovered him recently and have read or listened to each of the Joe Dillard series through No. 6. Already have purchased No. 7. I’m not much of a writer so this review won’t be the best, but Scott Pratt and Joe Dillard, et al. are.
I’m not a prude. Have beenlnown to use some cuss words on occasion. And have a best friend who talks like a truck driver. (Sorry truck drivers). I’ve read many James Patterson, John Sanford, Karen Slaughter...many, many mystery writers and enjoyed them. But After awhile the “f-bombs” get to be a bit much. And yes I do realize this is the way a good many folks of all ages talk.
But yay for Scott Pratt, he can write a terrific mystery that includes blood, guts and gore, at times..:well they are mystery-thrillers, after all, without having to be a total garbage mouth to hold our interest.
His family’s highs and lows as the series progresses leads me to believe there’s a lot of reality and life-lessons learned in his writing.
Now I’m moving on to Series 7, A Crime of Passion.
P. S. First started listening to books on long drives taking my son to work and I’m hooked. I like being able to listen/read as I go about cooking, cleaning or just goofing off.
Thanks Audible.

Love this series!

I love how there are several stories within the story and how they all tie together. It is fast paced and filled with excitement!

Book 6 I read in 1 day

What made the experience of listening to Blood Money the most enjoyable?

All of Joe Dillard keeps me hooked, but Blood Money was fantastic.

What did you like best about this story?

While I did not like this best, I am most interested in Caroline right now. She is the Dillard Family backbone, and the progressing Cancer is horrible. Since the announcement of it a couple books ago, I want her to get well.

Have you listened to any of Tim Campbell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

He gets better and better. I thought he was alright when I heard the first book. I think he is amazing now.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Caroline's ongoing struggle is hard to read, in a good way. She keeps everything so human.

love another!

Another unique great book! Keeps your attention to the ! Love theres no F words just excellent story!

Love Scott Pratt
