When your business is broken into at night when you are in it and are afraid for your life you call 911 not a friend who is a tough guy to come help you!

It's a good, solid courtroom drama with a well-plotted mystery. There are plenty of clues, and the characters are well-developed.

What a pleasant surprise! I had recently read another book by Wilhelm and enjoyed it. This book is much better in concepts, plot flow and characters. Plus, I really like Barbara Holloway. She's not crafted to be like many of the female protagonists I've read about in the crime/mystery genre.
While not all of the books in the series are available on Audible Plus, most of them are on there. I plan to read them all. =)

It wasn't great, but it was interesting. I'm stopping the series here because I started the next one and there's just not enough to make me care about the characters. Three books in, I should have a sense of Barbara that makes me want to root for her. I don't.

Another excellent Barbara Holloway. A woman is accused of setting fire to the house her daughter was in. Amidst crowd cries of "Baby killer!", Barbara takes on the case, meandering down a lot of freaky peoples' scary, dark pasts, to find the real truth of what happened. There is much more to the stern, radical right newspaper publisher and his Stepford wife, and what is up with the gun-crazy neighbor? Keeps you guessing right up to the end. Or it did me, in any case.

This one was better than the first. I had no random repeating of paragraphs.

A really satisfying courtroom take-down of an excellent villain in this one. Prescient overarching theme about how right-wing authoritarianism and religiosity is used to cover up white-collar crime.
