About this listen
For Sabre Orin Brown, life is good; she has it all...or would have, if only she could solve the mysterious disappearance of her brother. The search for her brother and her career as a juvenile court attorney collide when she defends a nine-year-old whose father will go to any length to obtain custody.
Sabre finds herself immersed in a case with too many unanswered questions. Her quest for the truth takes her coast to coast and five years into the past. Confronted with mysterious clues and strange occurrences, Sabre is threatened by someone wanting to make her suffer the unbearable anguish of losing everything--including her life.
As Sabre's passion to find the answers intensifies, she discovers a twisted history of desperation, deceit, and revenge. And she discovers how obscure and treacherous the truth can be.
The Advocate, a legal suspense murder mystery, is the first book in The Advocate Series. Three characters continue throughout the series, Sabre Orin Brown, defense attorney, her investigator, JP Torn, and her colleague, Bob Clark. The Advocate is followed by The Advocate's Betrayal, The Advocate's Conviction, The Advocate's Dilemma, and The Advocate's Ex Parte.

There are multiple story lines, both relating to her job and also her private life, some are very exciting and reveal one of Sabre's faults, a complete indifference to danger. I thought that the doctor being a doppelganger for her brother was a bit too much of a coincidence.
I enjoyed the narration, although it is a little rushed at times and I did find myself replaying passages because I had missed what was said, it came too quickly after the previous passage.
An enjoyable listen, I have the second and third books lined up, so it will be interesting to see how the series develops.

The story is very compelling and you find yourself getting attached to the characters, I hope the rest of the books in this series are like this one, as I am off to check out the next and find out what happens next to the heroine.
The narrator was very good and made it a very enjoyable listen and easy to picture what was happening as it unfolded. This author and narrator are both worth checking out.

Thanks to Teresa for the audiobook For a listen to review I like to try different things and a law thriller is something I've not tried The book seems to be aimed at women primarily, and from the other reviews I've read it seems to hit all their buttons.As for meA bit too much happening in this one bookI felt like I'd just watched an entire season of 24.The main characters history is wheeled out in this first instalment, which i sort of expected to be drawn out throughout the series. This book has murder, kidnap, drugs, mobsters, arson, missing persons and moreSo you won't be bored. Although you may feel overwhelmed.I will be getting my mrs to listen to it too to see what she thinks of it. And I'll edit later if I can, to add her review.If you like TV shows like criminal intent or body of prof and law and order then I'd say you will love this.I'm sure the series will grow, and hope the next one takes the foot off the peddle a little and let the characters slowly develop, instead of giving us too much background too soon.Action packed!!!!

The main character, Sabre, seems to be more than perfect at everything except being alert to danger. Several of the characters are not fully rounded out and the Dr. Steel character being a doppelganger of Sabre's brother was just too unbelievable.
There were a lot of good points, some thrills and clever plots but overall it felt too crowded, and with many relationships & backgrounds etc not explained or detailed at all.
The narrator does a good job but I can't get used to the way she pronounces Sabre as "Say Brur" instead of "Say Buh". Maybe it's a regional thing but the "r" has never been pronounced anywhere I've been or in anything I've watched or listened to. It's not helped by sometimes appearing that she does say it correctly and other times not. Having listened to samples of the later books in the series both Laurel Shroeder & John Bell pronounce it correctly as "Say Buh".
I'm not sure whether I'll read any more from the series based on this book except perhaps #9, The Advocate's Geocache, and that purely because I'm a very keen geoacacher myself.
I received a free copy of this audiobook either from the author or a promotion or giveaway and am voluntarily writing an honest and unbiased review.
