Summary
Garrett Goodlove used to be an arrogant criminal defense attorney with a drive to win at all costs. But a pair of tragic events threw him into a bottomless depression, and he retreated into the practice of family law. Now he tries to settle cases in ways that make everyone happy. He’s a nicer person, but has he lost his edge?
His kinder, gentler life is disrupted when the police arrest his estranged twin sister Carly. She’s accused of shoving her husband off a cliff into the storm-tossed Pacific Ocean. Worse, the vicious detective on the case has a grudge against her and has vowed to send her to prison, even if he has to cheat to do it.
Carly, deaf since birth, refuses to be defended by anyone other than her twin brother. But the intense connection that binds the siblings tells Garrett that she may not be revealing everything she knows. If Garrett can’t keep this new stress from pushing him back into depression, the defense will fail, condemning his sister to an isolated life in prison, cut off from the deaf community she needs.

A Top Quality Legal Mystery.
I literally couldn’t get enough of this book. Not only is this book brilliantly written but it really does have everything. There are great characters, a compelling mystery, mental health problems, tradegies, vendettas, a murder and a trial! Al Macy clearly understands the legal procedures involved too and has woven a mystery that had me hooked from the off. Almost from page one I liked the characters in this book, not least of all the main character Garrett Goodlove. There’s a warmth to him that pulled me in. There’s a lot of history to his ‘back-story’ from the death of his niece and the loss of his wife to his time as a tough defence lawyer. The supporting cast of characters are just as well crafted and each brings something new and interesting to the story. Best of all is the author's ability to avoid writing cliches, be it characters or plot. The pace of the story never labours and skips along with each scene revealing more of what is really going on. Basically, it’s great.
A quick google search reveals that Nick Sullivan, who reads this audiobook, has more than 450 titles to his name as narrator. It’s easy to see why as he breathes real life into each and every one of the characters in this book. He is one of those narrators that would draw you in to even the most mundane book so to couple him with this treat from Al Macy is a recipe for brilliance. Every character has their own ‘feel’ and his skill making them sound a little different from one another made it a relaxing listen. Top quality from both author and narrator alike, highly recommended.

An engaging story well told
Both the story (which I had previously read) and the performance by Nick Sullivan were very good - the only thing that I personally found broke the flow was the inclusion of the chapter headings in the narration - I guess that this is a personal dislike. I can recommend this audio book but would not recommend trying to follow the plot while driving.
N.B. I received this audio book free in exchange for an unbiased review.

A Great Story, with a Great Narrator
First of all, I had read this book myself previously and really enjoyed it. The story is excellent, and the characters well rounded. There are interesting aspects to their characters which sets the story apart from more run of the mill stories. I don't want to spoil the story by giving crucial plot details so will recommend you listen for yourself.
Previously, I have not been a fan of audiobooks, as a voracious reader, averaging a book a week or so, I always felt I wasn't 'reading,' that it was cheating somehow. However, having been asked to try it and give an honest opinion, I have been pleasantly surprised. The narrator is excellent; he has a rich, warm voice. Once I had got used to listening rather than reading I have really enjoyed it. Journeys to work are the perfect time and place to listen, I am disappointed to have to stop. I will certainly try more.
