Plea for Justice

De: Liz Lazarus

Narrado por: Jennifer Jill Araya, Jason Sheffield

Plea for Justice is a psychological, legal thriller by Liz Lazarus, told in alternating viewpoints by “Jackie", a paralegal in pursuit of justice, and “Me", a terrifying killer with treacherous cyber skills. Lazarus has once again produced a pause-resister, full of drama and suspense - and more than one unexpected twist.

Set in Atlanta, GA, main character Jackie Siegel is contacted from prison by her estranged friend, Aaron Slater. In high school, he was the “cool jock” and she was the “introverted geek". They were inseparable until graduation, when he suddenly dumped her with no explanation. Ten years later, Aaron is arrested for one of the most notorious murders in recent history. Labeled by the media as “The Snapchat Killer", he is accused of posting videos on social media of a college student before brutally murdering her.

Aaron swears he is innocent and begs for Jackie’s help. But why would an innocent man sign a plea deal that he claims he didn’t understand, one that puts him in prison for the rest of his life? As Jackie investigates the evidence, she meets resistance at every turn - no one wants this case reopened. The conflicting information and bizarre clues compel her to keep digging, uncovering questions of trust, self-protection and fate.

As Jackie closes in on the truth, loyalties are strained and relationships are tested, leaving her to wonder if she’s helping an innocent man or being played for a fool. It wouldn’t be the first time. In the end, whose plea for justice is answered?

An inspiring story of empowerment

The overall story was entertaining and the main character’s progression in self-confidence and personal protection was powerful.

Fantastic Legal Thriller

The story is told well and avoids a ton of the mystery tropes and “surprises” that are so common now. It was easy to become invested in the story. Both narrators had great voices. Overall, it was a fantastic story and performance.

What a page turner

I really enjoyed this book. There were some spine tingling moments that kept me on my toes. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Captured my attention immediately

I could see myself falling in this situation so easily years ago. Great book with good lessons fir all. I highly recommend it!

The plot

I love Liz’s books. She does her research and this makes her books believable. Her stories work with issues that face everyone, especially women.
