“An Unequal Defense” is the second of three books in Chad Zunker’s David Adams series. Adams, a partner in a struggling two-man private practice law firm, is pulled into representing Rebel, a homeless veteran who is part of the Austin, TX community that Adams became involved with in the first book in the series. The book begins with Rebel waking up in an alley, dressed in clothes that are not his, finding a gun in the jacket pocket and accidentally firing it. A dead body lies in the same alley. The victim turns out to be Luke Murphy, a prosecuting attorney and friend to Adams. The ensuing search for the truth leads Adams down several devious paths, involving many interesting characters. This was a great listen, narrated very well by Christopher Ryan Grant. I’m looking forward to the final book, also narrated by Grant.

“Rich Justice” is the third and most recent book in Robert Bailey’s Jason Rich series. Rich, a defense attorney in northern Alabama, is reeling in the aftermath of the previous book, which resulted in his suspension and a deepening antagonistic relationship with methamphetamine kingpin Tyson Cade. When Cade is brutally murdered outside a convenience store, all the evidence and popular opinion points to Rich as the primary suspect. Exiting the courthouse following his initial hearing, Rich is attacked but is saved by his long-time friends, the Tonidandel brothers. Despite this event, Rich’s trial is still moving forward at full speed. Electing to represent himself, which is always a risky move, Rich sees his one-time rival, former prosecutor Shay Lankford, as the best candidate for his required co-council. At over 500 pages (almost 15 hours in audio), the book has plenty of room for a ton of characters. These characters, both major and minor, are used in such a way that is not confusing or boring, each with a unique personality and contribution to the story. There are even honorific references to Professor Tom McMurtrie and Bocephus Haynes from Bailey’s original series. As usual, Joe Knezevich provides excellent narration in the audiobook. I’m looking forward to #5 in the series.

Great book!!!

This walks you thru President Obama life up to where he becomes Afro American President of the United States.

I love it so much! It's funny, it has good lessons in it, and it's a book I can read over and over again.

“The Final Act” is a stand-alone novel by Lisa Gray. Unfortunately, I did not find this book as interesting or exciting as Gray’s previous works, which includes a very satisfying 4-book Jessica Shaw series. The book bounces back and forth from the 2003 era story of budding young actress Madison James, whose work is limited to relatively minor roles in two slasher flicks and one rom-com, and the 2022 effort by Detective Sarah Delaney to locate the now 40-ish Madison after her reported disappearance. At only 272 pages (about 7 hours in audio) the book still seems too long. I just couldn’t find much to like about any of the characters, past or present. Gray is a good writer, but at least for me this one missed the mark.
