Publisher's summary

A bloody van. A motive. No alibi. Nate’s next case is not looking great.

Attorney Nate Shepherd’s newest client stands accused of a fatal hit and run. While Nate doesn’t believe that the CEO of Carrefour’s largest charity would ever smash into a person and flee the scene, a blood-streaked van says otherwise.

A freewheeling prosecutor is certain that Nate’s client did it, and more, that the killing wasn’t an accident at all. With help from old friends and an intriguing new one, Nate uncovers incriminating acts, secret relationships, and a massive motive that has him scrambling for answers.

As the case gets worse, Nate fights to craft a defense. But as trial approaches, one risk grows until it looms over everything else: Will Nate destroy his client’s life by saving his freedom?

Just Plea is the fifth book in the gripping Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller series. If you like razor-sharp dialogue, captivating characters, and riveting trials, you’ll love this fierce courtroom drama by Michael Stagg.

Plot is well crafted but

Narrator is trying too hard to be droll. Aware of his acting instead of the story. Sing song instead of strong. Otherwise, a pleasant series though not suspenseful nor gripping.

Love the series

I listened to books 3, 4 and 5 one right after the other. The narrator was very good. Each story held my attention. The characters were well drawn. Overall, very entertaining.

Nate Shepherd is a favorite

Love the Lawyer series. The plots unfold well. Thoroughly enjoy the banter between characters and the clever sarcasm. Always well performed. Feel like part of Nate’s circle of friends and family. Great series.

Top notch narration and unexpected ending

George Newbern is one of the best narrators I have heard. He brings the personalities of the characters alive. And they don’t all sound alike.

Not highly suspenseful, but there were unexpected twists and turns. Did not see the ending coming.

Good until the Ending

I thought the story was excellent but I found the ending to be unexpectedly disappointing.
