I am reviewing a copy of Unexpected Defense through Severn River Publishing and Netgalley:
She swore to uphold Justice! But what is it going to cost?
The Locals in the n the small town of Brine, Iowa, live in a prime, location for wind energy. They soon find themselves locked in a vicious battle with a wealthy oil company who is buying struggling farm properties to put up windmills. Half the town is for the windmill projects, the other half will stop at nothing to keep the iron giants out of their skyline. When the conflict turns violent, a murder shakes the town and leaves expert public defender Ashley Montgomery with a trial on her hands that is both criminal and political.
Ashley is in the process of applying for a judgeship, a political position, while tasked with building a rock solid defense for her client who is charged with murdering a neighbor that had leased property for the construction of windmills. The deeper Ashley digs, the more ties she finds between her client, his alleged victim, and the Texas Oil company, forcing her to make a decision between her ethics as an attorney and her dreams of becoming a judge.
Ashley is desperate to find a balance between her ambitions and her client's needs. She is faced with a near impossible task with conflicts of interest that run far deeper than she ever imagined.
Will Ashley be able to navigate this turbulent case and come out on top? Or will she need to burn some bridges in the name of justice?
I give Unexpected Defense five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
