An Innocent Client by Scott Pratt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Legal, investigative, and police procedurals. Joe Dillard is a criminal defense lawyer with flaws – specifically, a short fuse nearly always directed toward someone anyone would like to punch out. Joe is fiercely defensive of his family, particularly his wife. From early in the series, Caroline’s battle with cancer is almost another character. The legal community respects Joe, and he has influential friends, including the local sheriff and law enforcement, rare for a defense attorney. Each book consists of a stand-alone story of rape, murder, missing people, mobs, addicts, crooked cops, devious politicians, amoral judges, and more – each story is unique and creative. Read in sequence for continuity and character development.
Liked. Stories! It’s just a great series with excellent, page-turning plots. No sex, no objectionable language. No trouble discerning who is speaking to whom. Narration and production are fine.
Not so hot. Not much! Bumped the audio speed on the iPhone to 1.4 – a preference, not criticism.
The series consists of 10 full-length novels. Books 1-4 and 5-8 are available in two box sets, books 9 and 10 in separate purchases. Well worth the investment. Written by Scott Pratt, narrated by Tim Campbell, over 70 hours of listening in unabridged format, released from September 22 through June 2023.
