Shadow of Justice

Mara Brent Legal Thriller Series, Book 8

By: Robin James

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

A box of grisly secrets. A daughter’s chilling accusation. A prosecutor’s fight to bring a killer to justice—before he claims another trophy.

When Hayden Simmons walks into small-town prosecutor Mara Brent’s office carrying a box of gruesome souvenirs, she delivers a shocking revelation: Her father, Jamie Simmons, murdered her aunt twenty-two years ago—and got away with it. The case, long grown cold, has haunted Hayden’s family, but she’s the only one who believes her father is guilty. The rest of her family insists she’s unstable and chasing ghosts.

But inside that box are items that could only have come from the crime scene. And when Jamie is arrested, Mara is thrust into a trial that could make or break her career. The evidence is damning, but there’s no physical proof tying him to the murder. After two decades, his alibi can’t be disproven. And with his iron grip on Hayden’s family, even his late victim’s loved ones refuse to testify against him.

Mara is their last hope. If she fails, a cunning predator will walk free—leaving the family he destroyed trapped under his control forever.

For fans of Lisa Scottoline, Scott Turow, and John Grisham, Shadow of Justice is a gripping legal thriller packed with chilling secrets, courtroom twists, and the fight for justice in a town where the past refuses to stay buried.

Outstanding

When a new book by Robin James is released I don’t hesitate to get it, she is an amazing storyteller. Prior to listening to this book I listened to the previous books in the series just because l love the series. This book is an excellent addition to the series and I know I will listen to again in the near future. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. Well done Robin James. Vivienne Leheny also does an excellent job with the narration as usual.

Great Book Must Rear/Listen

This was a great book with quite a few twists and turns, but it all well up with a really great final outcome. It was also great to see the Mara and Sam relationship grow.
