One of my Favorite Series

I loved all 4 books couldn’t wait to get the next in the series however, now I’m heart broken the tale has come to a end. I am delighted it ended as it did:) Highly recommend!

Hope it’s not the last!!

Amazing series. Please say this is not the last Southern book. Joe Hennessy must live on.

Joe Hennessy.

The way he held himself. The way he took on the system the way he held his family in highest. Absolutely love the story, best of all, and most of all, the voices and the delivery of the story. I hate monotone stories. Don’t even listen to them because they do not interest me but all four books in the Jo Hennessey series were freaking awesome. Good job well done.

Whoever you are, don’t I think you will agree ; Listening to all 4 of these books could not have been more fun!

Well I’m hooked! I’m hoping that this great author has written enough great stories to keep me occupied for a long while! At 74 great years! I have moved to a great new state alone! I have enjoyed designing, cooking and cleaning up a 2 bedroom place all by myself! While you have transported me to another great state! Where I have so enjoyed your series while buzzing around the house! I had traveled there on a road trip years ago. He had truly taken me back! I must say very accurately indeed! That was so much fun taking a trip down memory lane! Thank you! Here’s to you! KW

Grief can border vengeance but……

Good writing & good ending — seemed like the author had a personal connection to the material. Very realistic in how sorrow can push someone into an obsession …. Well done , let’s have another!

Loved each

was this my favorite? don't know, have read all 4 this week and loved each.. read them in order and enjoy

Great Plot

This was a great finish to the Joe Hennessy Series. Aside from the small dose of corny jokes in all four titles, this is an excellent legal fiction series.

The clean and realistic storyline is a pleasure to read. The presentation of a healthy nuclear family amid trials and struggles is refreshing and makes for a great read and entertainment. An added bonus is the beautifully described historical landmarks and coastal and mountain settings of the great Palmetto state—South Carolina!
Please provide more like these!

Great Legal Thriller and Series

I thoroughly loved listening to this book as well as the entire series. It was fabulous, and I would like to see this entire book series become a movie or a weekly television show. It has clean language which I appreciate! Great writing, great characters, great story!

Very relatable

I love this series. Very relatable story line. Love all the twist and turns. Always rooting for Joe and his family. Strong family unit is such a nice thing to see. Can’t wait for the next book.

A Dad’s Unending Love unburies a corrupt government official’s dirty secrets

This is a very good story about another corrupt and dangerous politician. While not a unique story theme, some of the events and crimes committed are. The various people involved make it interesting. The narrator did an amazing job with the different male and female characters voices and dialects.
