Publisher's summary

Inspired by real crimes.

From the author of the number-one best-seller, The Good Lawyer.

A serial killer is littering the South Shore beach of Long Island - the bones of his victims stuffed into burlap bags. Nick Mannino, The Good Lawyer, is living off the ill-gotten gains of his deceased mobster uncle, when, without warning, a brutal serial killer turns on him, and worse, his family.

As much a thriller as it is a mystery, with an ending as riveting as that in Silence of the Lambs, The Criminal Lawyer is also a love story, a novel of family secrets, and crimes beyond forgiveness.

Superb Legal Thriller

Everything about this book is fabulous. An original plot that gets more complex as it goes. Intensive action events. Characters are developed with excellent detail with believable paths to follow. The narrator was also super and he delivered the dialogue with surprised tones when required as well as fearful or passionate tones as indicative of the situation. This is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to in a few years. I hope he writes many more books as I will buy them all.

An upgrade from #1 book

This book was much better than the first one. Had I not downloaded/purchased them both at the same time I never would have listened to #2. Although still not great it was much better than the previous book.

Not a lawyer story

The protagonist is a lawyer but there’s no courtroom story.
Great story & very well written & narrated.
A truly touching story with unpredictability, suspense, family & so much more.

I highly recommend listening to this book.

Great listen

Very realistic and well written. I don’t like books where you have to suspend reality, and I did not have to do so. Great thriller!

Great Story! It Rings True.

I enjoyed the story, the suspense, the action and the love story. It had an edgy New York feel to it.

Great read!

There are few books that can hold the reader like this one did for me. Very few drags and a suspenseful listening experience that I enjoyed. I did not anticipate any of the twists and turns so it was all in all enjoyable and I would read another of this author’s novels!

Thomas Benigno is a terrific writer. Though in no

Thomas Benigno is a terrific writer and I enjoyed this book. There are numerous characters and subplots and an interesting finish. However, in no way would I call this a "legal thriller" other than the fact that the protagonist is a lawyer. So if you like courtroom drama this wouldn't be a good choice, but if you want a good mystery, give it a go. Will definitely read another book by this author.
