Small Town Conviction

Spencer Dunn Legal Thrillers, Book 3

A Legal Thriller filled with Gripping Courtroom Drama

One small town. One deadly weekend. Three shocking crimes…

A local business owner is shot and disappears under mysterious circumstances. Another man goes on a hit-and-run rampage. And a horrifying day care incident sends innocent children to the ER. At first glance, the events appear unrelated. But as he investigates, local attorney Spencer Dunn begins to think otherwise.

When Spencer digs beneath Autumn Harbor’s idyllic surface, he uncovers a dark thread weaving the cases together—a thread that leads straight to Jack Butcher, the flashy civic leader whose shiny public persona masks a rotten core. For years, Butcher has operated from the shadows, untouchable… and Spencer is determined to change that.

With pressure mounting and his own family under threat, Spencer races to connect the dots before his innocent clients are convicted. But the truth is more twisted than he ever imagined—and Butcher will do anything to keep it buried.

Now, with the impact of past and current cases coming to a head, Spencer must put more than his legal skill to work—or he may become the next casualty.

Small Town Thrills with Spencer Dunn

Small Town Conviction by Peter Kirkland is another strong installment in the Spencer Dunn Legal Thriller series. It’s a fun, engaging listen with a well-researched plot and nicely developed characters, all wrapped in that charming small-town atmosphere. It has that laid-back yet gripping vibe you’d expect from a detective story set in a picturesque British town.

The narration is spot-on once again and really brings the story to life.

Overall, 4.5/5 ⭐

Thrilling

I have only read one other PK book and none in this series, but I just loved it. The hero was so sharp, he has a lot going on, but just seems to manage it with ease. I loved how the plot lines were connected seamlessly and the court scenes were so well put together.

The narration was great. Nothing to call out but nothing to complain either.
