Summary
When the legal system fails to convict an abuser, what do you do?
Meet Assistant District Attorney Lettie Portman, a sex-crimes prosecutor whose past demands justice. When a 14-year-old girl is savagely attacked by her mother's live-in boyfriend, Lettie is called to the hospital. There, she meets a sweet young girl whose only goal is to go to school and come home to a safe environment. But mom's boyfriend makes the girl's world anything but safe. Soon, the abuse gets worse, and Lettie, the prosecutor, goes to the grand jury with the case. Two juries later, the abuser is still loose on the streets.
Lettie is no stranger to abuse. She takes matters into her own hands.
Will Lettie's own past interfere with her prosecution of what should be San Diego's Most Wanted? Will she be able to make peace with her own abuse and move on to become the hard-hitting prosecutor the young girl deserves right now? Is hope on the horizon?

What A Mess
What began as a decent storyline degenerated into a totally unbelievable climax. In the author's world, people seem to be charged, taken to trial and cleared on the same day. Why would the FBI check all roads, ports and airports but not bother to check in on the prime suspect.
Thankfully I didn't have to pay for this nonsense.

Horrid subject
It was okay but nothing to stand out. I don’t think it will entice me to read any more of the series.

Shockingly bad
Where to begin? The content was unbelievable, the way so many serious issues were crammed in to the story was farcical - the narrator was fine but the book was simply too bad for words - however they were delivered

Easy holiday listen
Easy to listen too. Horrendous subject, as I'd imagine it's true.
Look at to reading more from this author

This was a very entertaining and well written story. It passed a few enjoyable hours for me.

A bit unrealistic
I liked the performance and basic plot. However some of the storylines were a bit incredible and the timelines for getting matters to trial totally unrealistic. Overall I enjoyed it though.
