Publisher's summary

A small town murder hides a dark secret....

When online influencer Simone Baker asks Leland Munroe to defend her on a criminal charge, the small town lawyer is ready to say no. He’s not a criminal lawyer—despite what the people of Basking Rock seem to think. Social media and manslaughter are both far from his area of expertise. But with no other clients coming through his door, Leland takes the job to make ends meet.

At first, he figures the prosecution’s weak evidence should make for a simple defense. But Simone’s case isn’t as straightforward as it seems, and her testimony weaves a tale of missing young women, racism, and evidence tampering by local police.

Leland’s investigation soon reveals a criminal conspiracy lurking in the shadows of the small town. An innocent women may be tied up with a criminal organization he thought was gone from Basking Rock for good. And as the Jury’s verdict looms closer, it’s not just Simone’s freedom that hangs in the balance.

Leland’s own life is on the line as well....

Good story line - but the narrators could be upgraded!

Liked the story line, narrator fur the lead character Leland was good, but whom ever narrated for the coroner, Terry, Simon’s mother, and a few other men and women - they’re voices were whinny, very unflattering , irritating and very hard to listen to. Won’t listen to books narrated by these folks again.

Great legal thriller!

Influencing Justice is the 2nd in the Small Town Lawyer series by Peter Kirkland. A social media celebrity is murdered and Simone Baker, a rival, is charged with murder. As Leland Munroe defends Simone, he finds problems with the police investigation, including evidence tampering, he is threatened, and begins to suspect a wider conspiracy. Or, is that just Leland’s suspicious mind after spending 2 decades as a prosecutor? The narration by JJ Hosenfeld is wonderful. He brings the characters and story to life. I received a free copy of this audiobook for my honest review.

Leave the pandemic out of stories!

We read books to enter a world different than our own. Leave the pandemic out of it! I’d give this one a better rating if the narrator could do better voices. Slowwww speak for other male characters.

The story line is good

I wish he would have different readers for the characters. The voice changes the reader does are not real good.

This was good.

As much as I wish there were more in this about what the find out near the end, it was a good story. I liked it and I’m glad I read it. I like mystery so it was good .
The narrator was new to me and some of his voices were a bit odd, but I would listen to him again.

Can't stop listening

So I listened to this on audiobook. It is 8 hrs long and I couldn't stop listening. I wanted to find out who did it. Had no idea through the whole book. Hope the author will make another book. Can't wait.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
