By: James Patterson, Mike Lupica

Narrated by: Eva Kaminsky

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, undefeated criminal defense attorney Jane Smith—known as the Hamptons Lawyer—is ready to do whatever it takes to make her case.

“Great book. Great series. Best yet.” —Morning Joe

The Hamptons on Long Island is known for its beautiful beaches, its luxury lifestyle—and its exclusive legal advice.

When Jane Smith takes on a famous celebrity client, she’s armed and ready: with brilliant arguments, hard evidence—and two Glocks. Yet she’s chased down, shot at, and risks contempt of court. That’s when mounting a legal defense turns into self-defense.

Knowing every day in court could be her last, she’s a survivor. For now.

Critic reviews

"Unique and highly suspenseful... The Hamptons Lawyer is a great beach read that is unpredictable and hard to put down."

—Bookreporter.com

Good primaryplots/subplots. Always anticipating when I could to listen.

To many characters with similar names. Hard to keel track of who is doing what to whom.

Always a twist

Fun to hear Jane quip and fight back. She’s a great lawyer Jimmy’s got her back and the new characters were fun.

Jane Smith’s wit and sarcasm ❤️

I love the recurring characters and Jane’s wit. She is funny even when subject matter is not 😎

Very good read.

I don’t usually enjoy books where a well-known author teams up with a lesser-known one, but this one surprised me. It was interesting and engaging from start to finish. I wouldn’t exactly call it “fun,” but it was a good story that kept me turning the pages. While I wish it had been a little less predictable, I still found it worth the read—and I’d recommend it.

Great third book

A lot of people died but now that's taken care of. Interesting update to Jane's cancer. Good conclusion to the murder cases. I'm looking forward to the next book. I always like Eva Kaminski's narration.
