Publisher's Summary

Two radical groups have joined together for a common purpose - to kill the President of the United States, and they're looking for the perfect person to do the job.

Not a cold-blooded killer or a vicious assassin, but a model citizen, far removed from the watchful eyes of Homeland Security.

When the president comes to Kansas City, the unlikely trio of Walt, Willie, and Louie the Lip find themselves knee-deep in the planned assassination.

Join our heroes for another suspenseful mystery and lots of laughs!

cozy-mystery, humor, law-enforcement, conspiracy, extremists

Two groups of hate extremists join together and victimize a man already victimized by circumstances. They teach him marksmanship and to take the fall for assassinating the President and give him the money his family needs. At this same time, there is more drama within our old friend Walt's group of friends. Add in the folks at Homeland Security, and both insanity and humor ensue. Another good think piece on the good, the bad, and the ugly.
George Kuch continues his stellar performance as narrator.

Another great short story

Adore this series. This time we see the other side of a down on their luck family and a scheming few offering their largest need. The story is well written and really makes you think about what you’d do if faced with a similar situation. The characters are funny and believable and the storyline is entertaining. The narrator did a fine job! I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Couldn't put it down!

The author provided me with a complimentary copy of this audiobook with no expectation of a review. I absolutely love this series. I've never read one of Robert Thornhill's books but I've listened to all of them in audiobook format. After I listened to the first one, I knew I'd never be able to read one. Why? Because George Kuch made the experience so enjoyable and LOL funny! I knew that I'd not get the same level of enjoyment just by reading the books (although I'm certain they'd still be amazing reads). This book was no different. There are thrills and lots of laughs. I had to listen to it in one sitting because I just couldn't find a spot where the story slowed enough that I wanted to stop. Do yourself a favor and start this series today. You won't regret a single credit or dollar spent on any of the books in this series!

Politics make for strange bedfellows

If you could sum up Lady Justice and the Assassin in three words, what would they be?

Politics really does make for strange bedfellows. The Neo-Nazis are teaming up with the Ozark Militia (a group that wants to do away with government control) to assassinate the President of the United States. Both groups dislike him for different reasons but have the same goal of getting him out of office before he can make too many changes they don't like. Once again Walt is in the right place at the right time and manages to thwart their assassination attempt on the President. When Walt takes off with the would-be assassin, an average Joe who has fallen on hard times and is desperate to take care of his family, the crazies come after them. After-all they had promised their assassin that if he took their money and failed to perform they would kill him and his entire family. Walt counts on the anger of the Neo-Nazis and the Ozark Militia and uses them to solve a completely unrelated problem.

I received this audiob00k for free from the author in exchange for my honest review.

I love these fun quirky books.

I have listened to the entire series. and each book keeps getting better. I have a huge library and these are among my favorites.

I really enjoyed this book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes i think i would. Normally i find the 20 different tentacles/off shoots/etc from the main story a bit distracting but this one didn't seem to have as many and they wrapped together pretty quickly which was wonderful.

What did you like best about this story?

I always love how Walt is just humble about his part in everything and just wants to do the job. no fuss, no muss.

Which character – as performed by George Kuch – was your favorite?

I always like walt and willie of course, but i also love the old lady that takes care of his building

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I don't know, i am not good at tag lines

Book 13

Robert Thornhill has a real talent. I have listened to all his books so far this being #13. Can't recommend this series enough. I even have my husband hooked. George Kuch once again does an outstanding job of narrating this book.

Still another hit in this series

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love willie he's such an amazing character and then of course, Ox.

Any additional comments?

I had a little trouble with the content of this book due to our real presidents response to the hate groups and recent happenings. Because of this, it took longer to listen to this book. I love how Walt can always expect unexpected help from Willie. Now that's the kind of guy you should count yourself lucky to call friend. I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

I LOVED IT!!!

This is such a fun series!!! The book is a standalone listen that has both mystery and humor. I love the writing style of Robert Thornhill and the performance of George Kuch. This book is full of some endearing characters and has a great moral. I so enjoy the fact that Kansas City is showcased in this series. I love how the details are consistent in the books and the narrator is able to perform the various characters with distinguishable voices. This book has some minor references to previous books that bring to mind great laughs. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I was given a copy of this book and have chosen to write my review. I cannot recommend this book enough. As one might expect, there seem to be multiple stories going on in this book, yet are tied together. I can't wait to hear the next adventure of Walt, Moose, Maggie and the others.

Another triump!
