About this listen

Attorney Sabre Brown has dealt with her share of predators over the years as a child advocate, but the defendant in her latest case is the worst—having targeted vulnerable women and their young daughters for decades. When the predator is abruptly murdered, Sabre’s investigator reluctantly takes the case, but with so many victims, who are now suspects, JP struggles to make progress.

Meanwhile, Sabre’s brother gets tangled in a paternity/custody case, and she has to defend him in court—her worst nightmare. The stunning truth for both cases is buried in the past. Can they dig it up and nail the killer before innocent men are framed for crimes they didn’t commit?

Nothing nightmarish about this book, other than how good it is. It's the type of book that still has you thinking about it long after it is over. This author certainly knows how to write an entertaining and intriguing story that has you hooked until the end, especially with two cases to solve. This does mean the story jumps between the two but this works for the story and is no way confusing, even with all the suspects being questioned. The main case does focus around child abuse and I must admit that by the end I had shed a few tears, not because it is graphic or traumatic but like JP I just didn't want any of the victims to be responsible. The second investigation for JP, which is in no way a lesser case and I think the part that actually stuck with me, is a paternity case that involves Saber's own brother. It's scary what goes on in the world and this author makes you believe that it can actually happen. The characters are well written, human and loveable and are a big reason I like this series so much. I can't wait for the next book.
Saber's case has her trying to stop a child predator from returning back to his latest victim, if she can control the young girls father from attacking the step father, that is. Then the defendant is found dead and it becomes a case of trying to keep her client out of jail. The more they learn about the victim the more they learn that he himself left behind a long list of victims. Could one of those victims have become a killer? At the same time Saber's brother Ron gets named in a paternity case but with no possible way he could be the father it's up to JP to find out why the DNA proves otherwise.
I like the narrator, especially the voice he used for JP and his unusual saying it made it so easy to picture the character and others.
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntary left this review.
