One and Done

Sam Johnstone, Book 2

By: James Chandler

Narrated by: James Anderson Foster

After an impressive performance in front of a full house, local college basketball stand-out Davonte Blair celebrates the victory with a few friends.

But when a fierce argument over drugs ensues, the evening takes a violent turn — and one member of the group goes missing.

When police discover the body of the basketball team manager, the town turns into a tinderbox of emotions. The media is calling it a hate crime. The college president is desperate to avoid a scandal. And the police department is under intense pressure to solve the horrific case.

As defense attorney Sam Johnstone looks into the murder, the case grows even more complicated. Ronnie Norquist, the son of Sam’s longtime friend and law partner, was the dead student’s roommate — and Ronnie was there the night his roommate disappeared. His personal and professional worlds colliding, Sam can tell Ronnie knows more than he’s letting on. But what is it that Ronnie witnessed? And whose guilt does it prove?

In a case that’s full of circumstantial evidence and competing versions of truth, Sam must find out what really happened — before this college town tears itself apart.

Enjoyed it!

I think that I had listened to this book before at some point, when I had another Audible account, but it was still quite good and interesting to listen to it again.

Well written, with everything connected. Believable characters. Goodd narrator too!

Believability was really good. Courtroom dialogue excellent! Characters well developed. Nice array of different characters in all sorts of positions too.

Reader?

It took half the book before the reader’s voice distinguished one character from another. His presentation is saved only by a decent story line.

Fantastic book!

This book had me hooked right till the end. Great storyline and also good narration.

Good story with a few unexpected twists at the end. Enjoyed the continuation of Sam’s story.

I thought the story was entertaining and left you wondering how it would end up. I really didn’t expect the twist at the end. I like the Sam Johnstown character who has a few twists and turns of his own.
