Trial by Fire

Alex Hayes Legal Thrillers

By: L.T. Ryan, Laura Chase

Narrated by: Amanda Striblin

Before the Verdicts, There Was the Trial That Forged Her.

Before she was a rising star in the DA’s office, Alex Hayes was a rookie prosecutor with everything to prove—and a ruthless defense attorney standing in her way.

When a high-stakes fraud case lands on her desk, Alex is confident it’s open and shut. The evidence is airtight, the paper trail unbreakable, and the victims desperate for justice. But when Michael Donovan, a brilliant and manipulative defense lawyer with a reputation for turning slam-dunks into acquittals, steps in to defend the accused, everything changes.

As Alex digs deeper, she realizes winning this case will require more than legal know-how. With pressure mounting from all sides and the trial spiraling into a psychological chess match, she must outwit a master manipulator without losing herself in the process.

Trial by Fire is a gripping legal thriller that introduces Alex Hayes at the beginning of her career—a time when the stakes were personal, and the courtroom was her crucible.

Truth overcoming

Like- the suspense can always depend on each book by this author holding my interest

Didn’t like it

Book #4 of the series doesn’t follow the book #3. Is like going back to the beginning without knowing the end

title is fine just confusing as book 4

would be better as a book 0.5. I was expecting the ongoing story as book 4.

Sound quality is distracting

The storyline sounds interesting but the sound quality is distracting. Narrator has a very nice voice however maybe the microphone or sound system is faulty or the mic is too close. It creates a sound like an inconsistent lisp, but frequent enough to be distracting.
