About this listen

Star defense lawyer Grace Cockburn was a lioness in the courtroom – until her life turned into a total mess. Turns out marrying your best friend’s brother and then breaking his heart is not the best career move when both best friend and ex-husband are also very well-liked lawyers in Adelaide’s small legal fraternity. Within weeks, Grace is blacklisted from any decent cases, and reduced to taking dull medical insurance claims. It’s a far cry from the glamorous, high-profile criminal law career she envisioned.

Between the ineffectual hitman (a former client) who keeps chasing her with a hammer, her formidable and disappointed mother (a Supreme Court judge), and Lachlan Lim, the devastatingly handsome prosecutor she can't stop sleeping with, Grace is hardly anyone’s first pick when the trial of the decade needs a brilliant defense lawyer. But through a series of misadventures involving all the other silks in Adelaide (which of course Grace had nothing to do with), pretty soon she’s the best they’ve got.

There’s only one problem with this mostly lucky turn of events – the prosecutor opposite her is none other than Lachlan himself, the man she very definitely has not been falling in love with. How far is Grace willing to go in her fight for justice, love, and the chance to become Adelaide's most notorious legal superstar?

Light, Fun and a good read

Loved the main character and the story. It’s a fun read and really enjoyable. I’m hoping there is a second book to come.

An absolute riot!

A hilarious and super fun ride through the trials (literally) and tribulations of Grace, an up and coming criminal defence barrister in Adelaide. Rose Hartley has a knack for creating brilliant antiheroes. Wonderfully narrated by Shari Sebbens.

Mispronounced street names

It would have been nice if the names of places and streets were pronounced properly.

The book that has it all!

I thoroughly enjoyed this fun and engaging depiction of an ambitious (yet delightfully flawed) defence barrister. Rose Hartley effortlessly weaves serious issues with lighthearted, Australian humour and has delved into many relatable tropes that single women experience daily through her wickedly brilliant character, Grace. Each chapter left me wanting more and I did not want it to end. I should also note it was beautifully narrated by Shari Sebbens! I couldn’t imagine a more perfect voice for Grace than hers.

Loved this Aussie story with heart

This could be a TV series! I loved how flawed Grace and her family were. It’s relatable, funny and the narrator was spot on!
