A Crime of Passion

Joe Dillard, Book 7

By: Scott Pratt

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

A beautiful, young, rising star in the country music world is found dead in a Nashville hotel room.

The owner of her record company is charged with murder.

In the seventh installment of Scott Pratt's best-selling Joe Dillard series, Dillard is hired to travel to Tennessee's capital city to defend Paul Milius, a record company baron accused of strangling Kasey Cartwright, his label's young star. Dillard navigates Nashville's unfamiliar legal system and the world of country music in search of the truth, but he soon finds himself confronted with a web of lies so masterfully woven that he fears he may never find any answers. As the trial begins and the tension mounts, Dillard fears that not only will his client be wrongfully convicted, but that Dillard himself may not survive.

Critic reviews

"Pratt's richly developed characters are vivid and believable, especially the strong Southern women who fight their male-dominated culture from behind a facade of vulnerability." (Publisher's Weekly)

Another Home Run By Scott Pratt

What an excellent job Scott Pratt did in writing this series. Every book has had a riveting plot and the characters blend seamlessly from novel to novel. I have a hard time finding a stopping place in all the books because they never cease to hold my attention.

too short

scottpratt is an excellent storyteller much like Grisham. really enjoy that they take place in Tennessee feel like I'm being introduced to the beauty of the mountains and the rural communities my only complaint if any is that the stories are getting too short. can't wait for the next installment

Good solid story, fine narration

Kept my attention and I stayed in the driveway more than once to finish a chapter. That's all I ask

An enjoyable read,

The author wove together an interesting story, I loved the interpretation by the reader. I knew exactly whom was speaking.

The Best of the Joe Dillard series.

Great story. Performed by an outstanding narrator. Plot twists and terrific ending. Very enjoyable. Well done in all respects.
