Description In Favor Of Books In Good Faith (Joe Dillard #2)
A family of four is slaughtered in rural Tennessee. Two weeks later, a retired high school principal and his wife are brutally slain. Two Satan-worshipping teens stand accused. It’s up to prosecutor Joe Dillard to convict them. A former defense attorney who spent way too much time defending people he knew were guilty, Joe is determined to win this case to atone for his past. But an evil young woman named Natasha is responsible for the slayings and Joe knows it. Natasha is walking around free because the two boys who have been arrested are too terrified to implicate her. Now Joe must risk everything -- including his family's safety and his own life -- to bring an evil murderer to justice. "This book was so intense it was scary." -- M. Cottrill, Dallas, Tex. "The book ends up moving along like a thriller should; at breakneck speed." -- N. Bilmes, Vernon, Conn. "This author is a must read if you love attorney and courtroom thrillers." -- Kenneth J. George, Detroit, Mich. " Better than the old Grisham." -- Tompat, Melbourne, Fla.Details Books As In Good Faith (Joe Dillard #2)

This is the second in the Joe Dillard series, and in this one he has switched sides to become a prosecutor after getting bored a year into closing his defense practice. This is a book with a lot going on, including his wife developing and being treated for breast cancer. It also has a set of culprits practicing satanic rituals in killing innocents, and various corrupt elected officials. Joe also seems to be having some anger issues (from PTSD?) and is getting away with things I like to thinkThis is book two of the Joe Dillard series. In this book, Joe has quit his job as a defense attorney and has gone to work as a prosecutor for the State of Tennessee. A family is murdered at a rest stop by two teenagers and their leader, a girl called Natasha. Joe is prosecuting the boys but has been unable to find evidence on Natasha. Apparently, the teenagers are into Satan worship. There are problems in the prosecutors office with a possible crooked prosecutor. Meanwhile, on the home front,
This second novel featuring lawyer and all-around good guy Joe Dillard seemed overwrought. Too much of everything--death, misery, brutality, corruption--everything, that is, except for justice (can't have too much of that!) and editing (Joe's wife Caroline loses her hair on two separate occasions).I'm still impressed with author Scott Pratt, though. He's a heck of a good writer. I think he worried about the Curse of the Second Novel and so threw in the kitchen sink. Unfortunately, he also had

The second book in the series lived up to the first.So many times when I read a new author the first book is like WHOA and then I am bored to tears for the next book in the series. Scott Pratt did NOT disappoint. Honestly this one may have been a tad bit better than the first. I have to say that I was intrigued by the writing and did not want to lay the book down. For a romance, SMUT Junkie that is saying a LOT. Great Read. Can't wait to read Injustice for All..
DNF REVIEW; DECEMBER 4, 2016Narrator: Tim CampbellI found this second book in the series a bit of a disappointment after having enjoyed the first book. Joe Dillard is now on the other side of the legal fence, having taken up the position of assistant district attorney and I was fine with that since the other legal thrillers I read are with defense attorneys. Somehow nothing in this book got me going. Perhaps because I find cults and Satanic stuff rather boring and hackneyed and prefer just good
