THE PLINKO BOUNCE

This legal thriller features a fed-up public defender in rural Virginia. David Aaron Baker shines as the weary and beleaguered attorney Andy Hughes, who is defending the crooked and sinister Damian Bullins. Bullins is on trial for murdering the wife of a wealthy businessman. Baker's performance enables listeners to empathize with Hughes's disillusioned view of the legal system. Morgan Hallett's talents shine in her portrayals of the story's female characters, especially Hughes's colleague and love interest. Overall, listeners will appreciate the deliberate pacing of the dual narration. P.P.C. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
