An edge of your seat legal thriller!
Filled with twists, turns, nail biting suspense, heart stopping action, and realistically imperfect, beautifully developed characters, Defending Innocence is a dynamically written legal thriller that kept me up all night! Sleep was out of the question until I had ALL the answers! Sure, I had my guesses, I added up the clues, I made notes like a good armchair detective, and curses, I was foiled again and again! The plot, THIS plot is delightfully intricate and complex, but so throughly and creatively explained that not only was I completely engaged, I was able to stay immersed in the moment without being bored or confused! The writing is THAT good! The characters are realistically human and continually evolving through the entire course of the story! There were a few instantly fell for, a couple I absolutely loathed, some that had me on the fence till nearly the end, and a few I completely changed my opinion on as the story played out! No spoilers! Sorting out “who’s who” is half the fun of listening to this fantastically and convincingly narrated legal thriller! And fun is exactly what I had! I loved every single heart stopping moment!
