About this listen
Murder in a sleepy coastal town… Can attorney Spencer Dunn keep his head above water?
When beloved mayor turned state senator Carlton Osborn is found dead on his boat, the prime suspect is the only other person on board: his pregnant teenage girlfriend, Amber Vega.
Struggling to restore his self-confidence after a string of personal and professional losses, Spencer Dunn isn’t eager to defend a young woman who is almost certainly guilty yet refuses to follow his legal advice. But once Spencer starts digging, he realizes this case isn’t as simple as the police are making it out to be.
Spencer doesn’t know the meaning of the word “quit,” and he’s willing to ruffle some feathers in his quest to uncover the truth. But in the course of unraveling the mystery of Osborn’s murder, he’s making some very powerful enemies.

I enjoyed this book. I grew up watching Perry Mason and he is a big reason why I am such a mystery fan. Its the way two adversaries fight against each other in a battle of witt, with just words as they try to find justice and usually a killer, that I just find fascinating. So this book was just perfect for me and I was hooked right from the start. Spencer is a great main character and despite his own personal trails, he is there for his clients. It did seem slightly strange not to have a private detective (or sidekick) doing all the leg work but Spencer gets the job done. Even though you do get to hear about his problems, the story mostly focusses on the murder trail, with a few side cases thrown in to keep it interesting. The author has a nice style of writing so that like Spencer you start to wonder if the police have such a rock solid case as it seems. The story unfolds at a nice pace. I look forward to more books in this series.
After a tragedy in the family and then having a case to sideways on him, Spencer returns to his wife's home town to work with her father. The quieter life is shattered when the ex mayor turned state senator Carlton Osborn is killed on his boat. The police are quick to arrest the only other person on board, his pregnant and very drunk teenage girlfriend. Spencer is hired to proved her defence but after meeting her, even he thinks she is guilty. She is adamant that she wouldn't do anything to hurt her baby and as Spencer starts to look into her claims, he begins to believe that things are not adding up and it's not slam dunk the prosecution thinks. Can Spencer create enough reasonable doubt to convince the jury too?
I like the narrator. He has a fairly deep voice but somehow he still comes up with some interesting female voices and even a few accents.
