A preacher is found brutally murdered in a Tennessee motel room. A beautiful, mysterious young girl is accused. In this Mystery Readers International finalist for "Best Debut Mystery," criminal defense lawyer Joe Dillard has become jaded over the years as he's tried to balance his career against his conscience.

EadieB Savvy but cynical, Dillard wants to quit doing criminal defense, but he can't resist the chance to represent someone who might actually be innocent. His drug-addicted sister has just been released from prison and his mother is succumbing to Alzheimer's, but Dillard's commitment to the case never wavers despite the personal troubles and professional demands that threaten to destroy him. 12mo
EadieB This is book #1 in the Joe Dillard series. The book started out a little slow until about mid-way. It was a courtroom scene but I was not really into it. I'm looking forward to book #2 and hopefully it will be better than #1. This does look like a good series so I'm hoping that book #2 will be good. 12mo

In between a pick and so-so. People have been raving about this book. At times it was good, but then it was suddenly all over the place, jumping from A to B to F. Also got very, very tired of everyone being bad. We get it, all the clients and victims are bad, bad, bad. I would have edited this book a lot. I liked the main plot and the family things, but otherwise it was too much to try to remember.

EadieB I didn‘t like this one too much either. The reviews were good but not for me! (edited) 12mo
Tove_Reads @eadieb Yes!!! And was up for awards and everything. Really got tired of some bits in the book. Don‘t know, could it be that it‘s the first book in the series, and it gets better or will the same style continue… 12mo
EadieB I was wondering the same thing. I might try the second book. 12mo

I read this book from Amazon's free prime list. I must say I enjoyed it. It was an easy read, one that you don't have to think about in depth or unravel every detail, no lessons to be learned or emotions to be examined. Sometimes you just want simple, easy reading, I found that in this book.
