Many thanks to NetGalley, Grand Central Publishing and Hachette Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest legal thriller by Scott Turow - a long time favorite - and wonderfully narrated by Helen Laser. 5 stars!
Lucia Gomez has always had a spotless reputation as police chief of Highland Isle near Kindle County. But now 3 patrol officers have accused her of extorting them for sex in exchange for promotions. Chief Gomez hires local attorney Rik Dudek to help fight the charges. Rik is a small town guy, with the shabby office and clients to prove it. His PI is Pinky Granum, Sandy Stern's granddaughter. Pinky flunked out of the police academy and relishes her new role in helping to prove the Chief's innocence. She's also intrigued with her mysterious next-door neighbor and his nighttime activities, which leads her to investigate a former police officer turned real estate magnate.
I loved the latest edition to the Kindle County legal series, although if you haven't read any of them, they are all stand alones as well. Pinky is a great character and I hope we get more of her in the future. Turow is the master at the legal thriller genre and this one is no exception. There's a lot going on in this book but everything comes to a great conclusion. I switched between the audio and digital versions and the narration was wonderful as well. Highly recommended!
