Summary
The Hither Green murder...
William Benson knows what it's like to be accused of something you didn't do - the fear, the vulnerability and the nightmare of watching your life unravel. Now he speaks on behalf of those who have no voice, defending anyone who claims to be innocent. This time, it's Karmen Naylor, estranged daughter of a south London crime boss, fighting a murder charge and desperate to be believed. But Benson becomes trapped into a grudge match between two rival clans, endangering himself and those he loves.
Tess de Vere is by Benson's side but she's keeping something from him. A stranger on the trail of a secret death squad operating in Northern Ireland during the Troubles brings a terrible secret into the heart of her own life. And he won't go away.
Can Tess and Will find their way through all the secrets and the lies? Should justice always be served - and if so, at what cost?

Too many secrets, too many lies!
It's been two years since solicitor Tess De Vere instructed 'lifer' barrister William Benson. Despite the attraction between them, that her & her friend Sally's investigation (& a death bed confession) revealed that he was indeed not guilty of the murder he'd served time for, she's stayed away, because now she's the one with something to hide, secrets in her past!
Like another reviewer, I wonder if only the engaging trilogy, Summary Justice, Blind Defence & Forced Confessions were originally planned by the author, and Fatal Proof was an after thought, that's set to become another trilogy, this time with the backstory being around Tess's angst, the disclosure of events that happened during the Troubles in Northern Ireland!!!
As to the criminal case, the Hither Green murder, that brings the Benson / De Vere team together again, it's rooted in gangland, sibling jealously. Benson does his magic in court, getting the underserving defendant off, but it's Tess who eventually puts all the pieces together to see what's been behind the maneuverings. The proceedings at the Old Bailey are as ever enthralling, however to say the the plot is convoluted is an understatement.
Overall, it's an enjoyable enough listen, with Daniel Weyman's fine narration capturing the tense, emotional, lovey-dovey moments nicely; just wish I'd taken a break from from the series after finishing book 3.

Good listen but overly complicated!
it was nice to hear again from Benson and De Vere...but maybe it's been too long since the last book, or maybe this was a book too far, but it has lost some zing. The writing style and narration are as enjoyable as before, but talk about convoluted plots! I felt as if the trilogy was all that was envisaged, and this was a book too far to be latched credibly on to that last series. Tess's woes are really quite tortured and abstract, and rather than creating a depth we really don't need, it just becomes a distraction. Nonetheless, it remains an enjoyable listen.

Another superb story in the Benson series with clever twists and turns. Didn’t want it to end.
Excellent narration too. Can’t wait for the next one!
