Bodies of Proof

A Legal Thriller (Smith and Bauer, Book 2)

By: James Chandler, Laura Snider

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

A shocking confession. A prolific killer. A legal minefield.

Marko Bauer and Allee Smith thought defending James Innis on a simple charge would be straightforward. But when he confesses to a murder, it’s clear that this case will be anything but easy. Bound by the law, they can't expose him, even when he leads them to the body. Desperate to escape the ethical trap they've fallen into, Marko and Allee search for a loophole to report him, weighing the options of dropping the case or outright defying the rules. But every move they make seems to pull them deeper into his sinister game, and Innis’s chilling arrogance shows them just how dangerous he truly is.

When another victim mysteriously disappears, their ethical dilemma escalates. With each disturbing clue, the full scope of Innis’s plans becomes clear: he’s orchestrating Marko and Allee’s every move, and no one in their lives is safe.

Upholding their professional ethics may come at a price too steep to pay, as the cost begins to threaten not only their careers but the lives of those they love.

Will they break the law to stop a murderer… or risk becoming his next victims?

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author James Chandler and attorney Laura Snider comes Bodies of Proof, the second book in the Smith and Bauer Legal Thriller series. Perfect for fans of John Grisham and Michael Connelly.

I really like this author but NOT this series

flat writing. characters uninspiring. iowa citizens depicted as stupid. far inferior to his other books abs series. obviously just my opinion although I really liked all of James chandlers previous works

Clever

This is a fun and clever story. And the reading is perfect While the crimes are dark, the rest of the story is light and the main characters are very likeable

A unique story line.

Excellent listen! Very talented narrator and a different, unique twist from most legal fiction. I do like this author very much.
