UNSYMPATHETIC VICTIMS Ashley Montgomery, Book 1

Coleen Marlo's nuanced narration is a perfect match for this fast-paced, engaging legal thriller set in small-town Iowa. Public defender Ashley Montgomery is good at her job, and that puts her at odds with the townspeople who want criminals to remain jailed indefinitely--including the police. When Officer Katie Mickey investigates the murders of two of Ashley's recently released clients, she wonders if Ashley is next on the killer's list. And when the prosecutor demands that Ashley be arrested for the murders and other officers go along with it, Katie becomes Ashley's unlikely ally. Marlo portrays Ashley with fierce determination and underlying compassion. She captures Katie's commitment to truth and reckless passion for justice. This audiobook kicks off a promising new series.
