Sabre's best friend and colleague, Bob, is accused of murdering the father of her minor clients. It is up to Sabre and JP to prove Bob's innocence and to find the actual culprit.

The story was quite nice, but I felt that there was consistently a bit too much detail or unnecessary descriptions that didn't really add to the plot.

A dangerous man from Lana's past tracks her down. She's tempted to run but Tuper convinces her to stay and fight. When Clarice is kidnapped , Lana is forced to help the kidnapper commit cybercrimes. Can Tuper find Clarice and save Lana before it's too late?

This is the fourth book in the Tuper series and we finally learn just what Lana has been running from. Tuper and the whole gang are back keeping Lana safe as well as J.P. and Ron. There are twist and turns in this story that keep you turning the pages and even a few "well I didn't see that one coming".

As with all of Teresa's books she creates a story that gets you from the very first page and doesn't let you go till the last. Another great read.

Reading, already intrigued. Fourteen books in series, to date I have #1 & #12. Just planned to get basic information and am already hooked!

FROM AMAZON: When Attorney Sabre Brown’s eccentric Aunt Goldie dies, leaving a series of cryptic notes, Sabre launches the most intriguing and frustrating investigation of her life. While sorting through the piles of junk her hoarder aunt left behind, Sabre must keep Goldie’s greedy, dysfunctional children at bay. But she also discovers unexpected treasures, family secrets, and her aunt’s suspicions that someone was trying to kill her. But soon Sabre is torn in another direction when she takes a case involving four children whose brother was murdered in their home, and no evidence of who killed him. When her PI boyfriend and good-natured brother step in to help, they also get caught up in the labyrinth of clutter, deceit, and attempted murder. Sabre must hold everything together long enough to bring a killer to justice, protect the child’s siblings, and carry out her aunt’s bizarre last wishes.… (more)

Welcome back old friends. J.P. and Sabre are settling in with their growing family, Morgan and Conner, J.P.'s niece and nephew and Sabre's 2nd cousin Dené.

Sabre is representing a father whose little girl has been molested by her stepfather. When the stepfather turns up dead and the dad is a suspect J.P. steps in to find the real killer. Also Ron is being accused of fathering a baby he knows can't be his as he was in WITSEC at the time of conception.

As with all the Advocate books it is a fast paced read. The first page has you hooked and the ending leaves you perfectly satisfied. I will say that J.P. and Ron are the stars of this book and I really liked that.

Another great addition to The Advocate series.
