About this listen

When 16-year-old Hannah Sheraton is arrested for the murder of her stepgrandfather, the chief justice of the California Supreme court, her distraught mother turns to her old college roommate, Josie Baylor-Bates, for help. Josie, once a hot-shot criminal defense attorney, left the fast track behind for a small practice in Hermosa Beach, California.

But Hannah Sheraton intrigues her and, when the girl is charged as an adult, Josie cannot turn her back. But the deeper she digs the more Josie realizes that politics, the law, and family relationships create a combustible and dangerous situation.

When the horrible truth is uncovered it can save Hannah Sheraton or destroy them both.

You know a book is good when you stay up at night way beyond when you should fall asleep and keep reading. This book was very well written and narration was excellent. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Great book

This is great storytelling!
A gripping story that had me on the edge all the time, and I didn't want to put it down.
Unexpected twist at the end.
Great characters.
BUT
The narration is bad. Sounds like an overdramatic teenager reading the story.
I would love to listen to the rest of the series but won't if it is the same narrator.

Great story, bad narration!

Talk about a plot twist, holy moly!!! Absolutely captivating story and also treacherous. Makes you wanna go in and shoot the bad guys and then give high 5's to the one(s) who took care of buisness! tragic that there are creeps and perverts out there, but wow, can Ms Rebecca and Ann Marie capture the dialogue, it's like the narrator read it first and done her homework and absolutely captured Ms Rebecca's intentions! Absolutely stunning!

WOAHHHHHHH, I didn't see that coming

The story seemed to be going along pretty well but I really couldn’t put up with the narration. She was hard to listen to, maybe I’ll download the book and read it myself.

Bad narration

Very well written and those who provided the audio kept the mystic going throughout the book.

I couldn’t stop listening.

Plot okay, storytelling very highly emotional and quite overwrought. Or maybe because the performance was so completely Over Acted, I just assign the story as super emotional. I dealt with the gut wrenching constantly close to tears dialog of female characters by adjusting the playback speed to 1.25 unless Hannah had dialog, during which I had to speed up to 1.30 to suppress my eye rolling reflex adequately. I only recommend if you can handle over the top emotional performance of a just okay legal procedural.

Histrionics “R” Us

Too much repetition of the same topic about one character not being a good mother. Too much yelling and the courtroom drama did not seem realistic

An okay book

The story was good but I had to increase the speed to get through the overly dramatic, almost whining narration...😳

Narrated for second graders...
