Intense chills and thrills! This novel is a gripping legal mystery about a young man, Andy Dubois, accused of killing a friend and coworker in a small southern town. The crime scene where Skylar Edwards’ body was found reeks of an anger that does not seem to exist in Andy. There are aspects involved with the case that don’t line up or sit right with his current defense team . . . and now his lawyer has suddenly gone off grid. Presented with this tricky situation, Eddie has decided to take on the case and renew the investigation efforts. The rural township is not at all welcoming to the outsiders coming to aid with Andy’s defense, as the locals have already made up their minds. The obvious bias, corruption, and fervent hate just feed Eddie’s desire to help Andy. Someone in this town is a killer, and Eddie must find irrefutable evidence that proves that person wasn’t Andy, or he will surely be executed for Skylar’s death. Get ready for a clever plot and some heart-pounding suspense!
I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy thrilling crime investigations, witty dialogue, and anything Eddie Flynn.
I thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of The Devil’s Advocate for my unbiased evaluation. 5 stars
