The Advocate's Homicides

The Advocate Series, Book 8

De: Teresa Burrell

Narrado por: John Bell

Attorney Sabre O. Brown is called upon to defend an abused 14 year-old boy of murder after a body is discovered in a shallow grave with the word GOOF scrawled across his forehead.

Years later when more bodies are unearthed baring the same GOOF signature, two more abused juveniles are accused of the gruesome slayings. In order to convince a jury of her client's innocence, Sabre must either find a copycat killer, prove the murderer was a trusted friend of the three boys, or realize her worst fear - that her teenage clients carried out their own brand of vigilante justice on the men who abused them.

It's murder not to listen to this book

Another great book by this author. The thing I like best is even when you have worked out who the killer is the author has you second guessing and even triple guessing that you have got it right as the story continues with the many twists and suspects.
I love the characters and the interaction between each other making a serious subject fun and entertaining.
The narrator was very good and I have got used to his funny voices for male characters. Which a few times can be a bit deep, making me laugh.

I like how the book keeps me on the edge of my seat

I am really enjoying this series and have recommended it to my friends. The reader of the books does a great job

Great novel in a wonderful legal thriller series

The eight novels of The Advocate legal thriller series is always difficult to listen to because because all novels (to date) deal with severe child abuse or elect. Author Teresa Burrell actually works with such cases in her legal practice in the San Diego CA area. The subject of The Advocates Homicides are young teen boys being molested/raped by adult male sex predators. When the adult predators start to be murdered in serial fashion, some of their young teen victims are convicted of murder. Attorney Sabre Brown and and her ex-cop investigator/boyfriend set out to find the real murderer and free the falsely convicted boys.

This novel is #8 in The Advocate series. John Bell has superbly narrated the most recent three novels. I very highly recommend all novels in The Advocate series.

Great addition to the Advocate series

Excellent addition to the Advocate series. This book has long guilty pedophiles being murdered and in some cases their unfortunate victims getting convicted of the crimes. Sabre Brown doesn't believe that these accused kids are guilty but can't prove it. The men have prison slang for pedophile written on their forehead and instead of narrowing the list of people who could be responsible, it expends it. Unfortunately there are so many victims of child sexual abuse out there, many keep it to themselves and are ashamed to let other people know. The person responsible for these murders will surprise you.
John Bell does an excellent job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

This series is NEVER dull

Like many of the young characters that Sabre represents, the sad circumstances surrounding her latest client is heartbreaking...which makes worse when he's accused of murder..but did he really do it?

Teresa is an amazing writing and proves it yet again in this book with the interesting twist towards the end of the book.

Also, John Bell is one of my favorite narrators as literally gives each character their own voice which unlike some narrators, adds to the enjoyment of this audiobook. I highly recommend it.

I received this book free at my request and I chose to leave a review because I really enjoyed it (I have nearly every audiobook and have read or listened to every one in the series)

An exciting legal thriller

The Advocate’s Homicides is an exciting legal thriller about a female child advocate attorney and her young clients, in this book sexually abused boys accused of murdering their abusers.

The narrator of the audiobook does a good job, but his female voices could use work.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Great read

Such a thought provoking story line that leads you down a path of value driven beliefs. Teresa's abilities to get you to open your eyes to what is reality in the areas of child abuse, physical, emotionally, and sickening sexual is perfect. thank you again Teresa. until I get another book credit,, I will read more next month.

Hooked on this series!

I have listened to every one of The Advocate Series in order and have enjoyed all of them, but this one particularly was fascinating to me. I was initially reluctant to start it because of the dark topic, but it was handled so delicately and appropriately by this author. I was confused initially when Saber and JP were not an item, but I had missed the first sentence saying this took place three years earlier. I was glad to read reviews where this was clarified. This author deals with such serious topics due to her own experience as a child advocate and tells each story so well. Now I’m going onto book 9 and I hope Teresa Burrell will continue to write these fascinating novels. John Bell is an excellent narrator, even though he did make this one 11 year-old boy sound like a 70 year old with emphysema! 🤣

5 stars

The Advocate's Homicides: Legal Suspense Murder Mystery (The Advocate Series Book 8), my ninth enjoyable read from author Teresa Burrell. An 8-hour 26-minute/343-page legal thriller featuring Sabre Brown as a child advocate attorney. This book flashes back in time before Sabre was dating, oops, no spoilers from me. You'll have to read the book for yourself. John Bell's narration adds to an excellent book's enjoyment. “I received a free Audible copy and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I own 11 of this author's works in this series and look forward to reading more, The Advocate's Homicides: Legal Suspense Murder Mystery (The Advocate Series Book 8) is next on my TBR list. I'm on a mission to read all the books I own in the series, they're that good! (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Waiting for #9

The Advocate’s Homicides deals with children who have failed to be protected by the justice system and some failures that should never have happened. As usual, there is interaction between Sabra and Bob which help the reader understand the actions of the judge and his rulings. The narrator, John Bell, does a great of bringing the characters to life while waiting to find out who is framing the kids for murder. This is another great addition to Teresa’s Advocate series.
