The Client List

Cass Leary Legal Thriller Series, Book 12

By: Robin James

Narrated by: Teri Clark Linden

After a chance encounter at the funeral of an old mentor, small-town lawyer Cass Leary finds herself at the center of a murder trial no one believes she can win.

Cass is stunned when a man she hasn’t seen or spoken to in twenty years wills his law practice to her. His client list contains a single name. Farrah Sibley. Accused of murdering her boss, Farrah has femme fatale written all over her. Beautiful. Smart. Cunning. But is she capable of such a cold-blooded killing?

Shot once through the heart, the victim, prominent lawyer Terrence Dowd only had one enemy. His mistress, Farrah is on record threatening Dowd’s life and had the motive and opportunity to turn their relationship into a fatal attraction. She was also the last one to see Dowd alive.

Two things drive Cass to take the case despite the skepticism of her team. There’s no physical evidence tying Farrah to the crime and someone Cass revered believed in her innocence until the day he died. Cass takes a leap of faith and mounts a defense. But she walks right into a web of lies and deception that will throw the trial into chaos and risk her very life.

The Client List is the 12th book in the Cass Leary Legal Thriller series and has all the twists and turns you’ve come to expect from a Robin James novel!

Engaging from the start

Moves quickly and keeps the reader engaged. I missed hearing more about the extended family but the core story was great.

Once again

Once again Robin James has written a story with twists and turns that left me saying wow. I know many reviewers say they had no idea who the murderer was going to be but with this book I really was completely surprised. This is a legal thrill at its best and for me ranks right up with those written by the “greats” in legal thrillers. I can’t wait to see what is the next case Cass is going to solve. Well done Robin James.
If you haven’t read this series, you should do so; and if you have, you will not be disappointed with this book.

Nice Twist

Another good CAS’s Leary book really enjoyed this one like I said it had a nice twist to it at the end.

Wonderful legal thriller

The Client List is Book 12 in the Cass Leary series by Robin James. In both the Cass Leary and Mara Brent legal series, one about a criminal defense attorney and the other about a prosecutor, Robin James consistently authors fascinating legal thrillers with lots of twists and turns. Both of her protagonists are family oriented but Cass Leary's large family is more interesting. I highly recommend this book and the entire Cass Leary series as well as the Mara Brent series.

The ending.

This book was very interesting. Great listen while traveling. Loved the surprise ending. One of her better books.

Not Robin’s best

This is the first of Robin’s books I found to be difficult to stay engaged in and abandoned it unfinished.
