Summary
Samantha Brinkman, an ambitious, hard-charging Los Angeles criminal defense attorney, is struggling to make a name for herself and to drag her fledgling practice into the big leagues. Sam lands a high-profile double-murder case in which one of the victims is a beloved TV star - and the defendant is a decorated veteran LAPD detective. It promises to be exactly the kind of media sensation that would establish her as a heavy hitter in the world of criminal law.
Though Sam has doubts about his innocence, she and her two associates (her closest childhood friend and a brilliant ex-con) take the case. Notorious for living by her own rules - and fearlessly breaking everyone else's - Samantha pulls out all the stops in her quest to uncover evidence that will clear the detective. But when a shocking secret at the core of the case shatters her personal world, Sam realizes that not only has her client been playing her, he might be one of the most dangerous sociopaths she's ever encountered.

Almost a five.
This was a really enjoyable listen and promises a lot for other books in the series! Without giving away the cleverest twist , that would be a spoiler! But the narrator was not up to the standard to convey it properly. Instead it sounded like a teenage girls bubble gum pink sashay through a light hearted murder story! By the end, she had either settled down into a more restrained narrative or I become used to it! Hopefully she won't read any more in this series...... otherwise I'll have to buy the kindle edition!

Couldn't Stop Listening!
I'd never heard of this author, so wasn't expecting much, mainly due to the cover image, but I was hooked right from the first chapter. If it weren't for the need to sleep I'd have devoured this book in one sitting!
If like me you're a fan of John Grisham, then I'm sure you'll too will enjoy this book. A very unpredictable, gutsy story line with fantastic narration. I'm off to get the next book in the series - keep them coming Ms. Clark!

Enjoyable Story
If you could sum up Blood Defense in three words, what would they be?
I enjoyed this book, the story was enjoyable. It did not invoke any emotional reactions as such, but I was travelling and it made for an easy listen. The only thing that spoiled it was the narration, and I had to take several breaks from the story due to the excitable tone of voice.
What didn’t you like about Tavia Gilbert’s performance?
I hate being negative, but I did not enjoy the narrator at all. I found her too excitable, and during the more dramatic scenes, I wanted to tell her to calm down. It was too much to listen to for any length, which is a shame, as the story was good.
Any additional comments?
A well written story. Lovers of legal dramas would enjoy this book.

Odd twist at the end
Whilst I listened to the end of this book I never really got used to the narrator’s voice. She was often too over excited in her delivery, and she also seems to miss the meaning of phrases she was reading by pausing or putting the wrong emphasis on words in a sentence which ruined it somewhat. It was a fairly pleasant legal drama, but had the most odd twist at the end which didn’t really endear me to the plot. It was entirely unnecessary. Overall ok.
