First Degree

Cass Leary Legal Thriller Series, Book 7

De: Robin James

Narrado por: Teri Clark Linden

This lawyer is her client’s last hope and her town’s worst nightmare.

When a popular cheerleader winds up dead in a ditch, the case lands in Defense Attorney Cass Leary’s own backyard. Her niece’s boyfriend, Cole, is charged with first-degree murder, and the whole Leary family jumps to his defense. The evidence against him is as thin as the ice on Finn Lake. But an overzealous prosecutor and a rookie detective seem determined to see Cole go down for this no matter what.

Just as she’s about to crack the case, new evidence emerges that convinces Cass her client’s being framed. Cass’ dogged determination to defend him could upend the police department and ruin careers. But if she doesn’t uncover the truth, the real killer could strike again.

Can Cass bust open this conspiracy before another innocent girl dies?

First Degree is the seventh stand-alone book in a spine-tingling series of legal thrillers. If you like compelling courtroom dramas, strong female characters, and mind-bending plot twists, then you’ll love Robin James’ pause-resisting story.

I love these books

Great narrator who I could listen to constantly. Robin James is a master at legal thrillers and I can't wait for the next one.

Loved it

Loved all the characters coming to life and always keep me guessing and looking forward to what was around the corner.

great book

loved this story. listened almost nonstop from start to finish. the narration was good as well. my favorite Cass Leary book so far!!

Blew my mind

I consider myself a bright person but even I didn’t see this twist coming!!!!!! Lots of pain, suffering and family relationships of every kind presented in a marvellous way!

Great plot twist!

I've enjoyed all 9 Robin James legal thrillers but FIRST DEGREE is special because of an unexpected plot twist. This novel is about a first degree murder trial in a small town where everyone knows everyone. The victim is a 19 year old woman. The defendant is her 20 year old ex-boyfriend. Another excellent Cass Leary legal thriller by Robin James.

Another great one by Robin James

I did not see the ending coming and was completely blown away. Well done Robin James! I going to simply say if you haven’t gotten this series you should it is excellent and this book was out of the park. I enjoy books that have strong women characters and this series delivers. Publishing companies need to pay more attention to women authors like Robin James. They bring a lot to the table.

Kept me Guessing

This was a very interesting book and kept me on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed it because I could relate to it in so many ways.

Unusual twists and turns

We really liked the story, but found the story telling annoying. After most sentences, the characters said , “I said or she said , he said”. This quickly became very annoying. Definitely was a unnecessary distraction from a great story.

Must Listen/Read

Awesome story line and have to listen/read all the way to the end! Incredible

Best one so far!

I adore the series and this book takes the cake! If you like the series this is a must read. Absolute perfection from start to finish
