Great Legal Thriller!
An Innocent Client is Book 1 in Scott Pratt's Joe Dillard legal thriller series. It is superbly written and narrated. Joe Dillard is an ex-Army Ranger lawyer who never wanted to be a defense attorney but went into the business because working for the local prosecutor pays so little. With his wife Caroline and he having two children before he finished law school he has been stuck in his private practice for years and now that their son is in college with a scholarship and their daughter a high school senior with a promised scholarship, he and Caroline are working toward getting enough money to afford to work as a prosecutor. Caroline is his paralegal.
Joe has a history of capital murder cases and is the best criminal defense attorney in the northeastern Tennessee where he practices. Most of his capital cases are with indigent clients assigned him by judges and the state pays him $100 per day which is not allowing him to save the money his family needs. Everything changes when he is offered $250,000 plus expenses to defend a beautiful young female client arrested on a murder charge. An Innocent Client is about that case. The state's case is very week and the client claims innocence. The offer is too good to turn down. This novel is about that case. The characters are well developed and very vivid.
The Innocent Client is not just a good first book for a new author, it is a great suspense/thriller novel. I recommend it.

Brilliant Debut
This book is book one in the Joe Dillard Series. Joe is a cynical burned out defense attorney who keeps saying he will quit law in a year. All he wants is one innocent client.
The story takes place in rural Tennessee. A preacher is murdered after a visit to a strip club. The club owner hires Dillard to defend the club waitress, Angel Christian, who has been charged with the murder. Dillard’s personal life is in chaos, but he carries on with the defense.
The book is well written. I understand this is Pratt’s first book. For a debut book this is an excellent and well-crafted story. The portrayal of a cynical burned out defense attorney is realistic. The characters are well developed and are believable. Pratt has created a male-dominated southern culture for the story. The plot has some twists and turns and there is enough action as well as suspenseful courtroom drama to keep the reader’s attention. I did note that Pratt has created several strong women that are key to the story.
Tim Campbell does an excellent job narrating the story. Campbell is an opera singer, actor, voice over artist and audiobook narrator.

Pretty good "Who did it"
I LOVED this narrator. He was so easy to listen to and even the female narrations were not awkward, as they can sometimes be. This storyline was easy to follow and had all elements, that made it the perfect amount of suspense and drama. I was never bored listening and never felt like I missed any of the plot, throughout the entire book.

Very Cool. Just GreatLegal Thriller.
Looking for the kind of legal thriller that Scott Turow used to write? Here's a guy NOT PREACHING his ideological message. Here's a nifty noir voice. I just listened to Dashiell Hammett's Maltese Falcon where the hard-boiled detective got invented. Scott Pratt's in that league. Like Hammett he's writing straight entertainment while playing the various techniques of fiction like a jazz pianist pulls in the riffs and chords you expect from hands that can find the dark a well as light keys.
Tim Campbell's created this ensemble cast with same sort of note-perfect sense as Pratt. Did I like it? I just downloads the next Joe Dillard book. Wadda-you think?

Lawyer with personal demons to fight
great story, good development of characters, and a great ending. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars? I think the reader could have given a little more variation in tonality to the main character. Don't get me wrong. I think he did a great job, and did variations with the women, judges, and rednecks superbly. It is just it could have been tweaked a little bit in the voicing of the main character, which was otherwise excellent.

Didn't love the characters - very misogynistic. Story line was really good. Maybe it was just how it was read that it seemed cheesy and at times the voice sounded robotic.

Great Story + Terrible Narration = Refund
This book was one that I know would have been great with the right narrator. The story and plot lines coupled with character development were all there. But the narrator was...just...awful.
It sounded like someone trying very hard to ruin the book with a semi-autonomous monotone. This was very difficult to listen to, and was even more painful considering that as a listener paying attention to this story, it was actually a very interesting and intriguing story.
WHO ARE THE PEOPLE GIVING THIS READER RAVE REVIEWS? ARE THEY PAID TO MISLEAD?
The book is a great story, but the narrative made it less than tolerable to listen to.

Five stars
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book and have recommended this book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Well, Joe Dillard, of course!
Which character – as performed by Tim Campbell – was your favorite?
Again, Joe Dillard
Any additional comments?
I have read all of Scott Pratt's books in the Joe Dillard series and another of his books, Justice Redeemed. I found them entertaining and interesting. I really don't like the fact that I see only one person's rating when I'm browsing for a book -- perhaps it's the last posted rating. This book received one star by the last person, I guess, who rated it. That is very misleading. Unless you open it up and read the reviews, ONE review with one star ... well, that's just not indicative of the book's entertainment value. Sometimes when reading a bad review by certain readers, I know if they don't like it, I probably will. But that's because I have so many books and read so many reviews, I guess. Anyway, in my humble opinion, a one-star rating does not do this book justice.

Joe Dillard Wants To Clear His Conscience....
Joe Dillard wants to quit criminal defense because his conscience is getting him down. He is "getting criminals off" who he knows is guilty. When an opportunity comes where he can "represent someone who might actually be innocent," he jumps at the chance because this client just might be innocent. I enjoyed this story. A good "whodunit" with a good level of mystery and suspense. It held my attention throughout.
Tim Campbell narrated very well. His voice takes a little bit of time getting used to, but overall his voice suits the image of Joe Dillard. He has a range of tones that helps the listener know whose speaking and the story moves along well without needing to rewind.

Awful in every sense
I wanted to like this first legal thriller in a series, but have nothing good to say about it. I enjoy learning more about the criminal or civil justice systems (Turow, Grisham, Martini), but this book was predictable with no thrill at all. I kept listening thinking it might improve and ended up furious that I wasted so much time. The narration was not good either. His change of voice for different characters was terrible.
I rarely give a 1 star review. I am probably too generous at times reviewing books. I will probably be stricter with my stars going forward.

Engaging plot, narrator not so engaging.
I enjoyed the story, plot and pace. The narration or perhaps the production felt choppy, not fluid. At times it sounded like one of those computer programmes which reads text. I will buy the next book in the series and read it myself.

Southern charm
This was an interesting and fun legal crime story. It was on a par with a Grisham The narration was a bit to southern drawl at times and his female characters a bit strange. However this didn’t detract from the overall charm of the story which ended with satisfying twists, and I will be listening to the next in the series.

Not up to standard
I am always on the lookout for crime series to get stuck into. I enjoy Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch from Michael Connelly, Jack Reacher, and numerous British series including Peter Robinsons Alan Banks. Joe Dillard didn't cut it for me. He is boring and much more sexist compared to other male protagonists. The opening statements in the murder trial is where I gave up. The narrator sounded like he was reading the telephone book as fast as he could, no inflexion what so ever. The text provided to him by the author may have been the problem. "I will show you that the defendant did this, a witness saw that, blood was found here etc etc". The prosecutor and defence counsel both laid out their whole case then and there. I could go on and on. Clearly I am not a fan!
