Author: Scott Pratt
Published Date: 2016-06-16
Scott Pratt was born in South Haven, Michigan, and grew up in Jonesborough, Tennessee. He is a veteran of the United States Air Force and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from East Tennessee State University and a Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Tennessee. He lives in Johnson City, Tennessee, with his wife and two dogs.
A Supreme Court Justice is found cut into pieces in the back of a pick-up truck.
Three other judges have already gone missing.
In the eighth installment of Scott Pratt's bestselling Joe Dillard Series, Dillard is hired to represent the man driving the pick-up. As Dillard delves into the case, he comes to believe his client is not guilty. But who is? Who has been kidnapping and killing judges all over the state of Tennessee? The search for that answer leads Dillard and his friend, Sheriff Leon Bates, down a path so dark and so dangerous to a villain so evil, it will change both Joe and Leon forever -- if they manage to survive.
Another Solid Entry in the Series This is another four star entry in a five star series. I say that because each book falls slightly short of the superb mark but the series doesn't. The reason is that the series has many repeating characters which have developed, changed and grown over the many years the eight books cover. The best part of each book is us discovering how these various characters are faring, their accomplishments, failures and progress as they wade though this thing we call living.In this entry, we're again treated to less a courtroom adventure or mystery and more a rather static pursuit. After what starts out to be somewhat of an intriguing tale, the book loses its intrigue. We soon know who the bad guy is, and it's not really a surprise either. We know that he'll be brought down before the book ends because they always are brought down. We just need the book to fill in some details of how it's done.As it turns out, once more it's done through a person who acts like a deus ex machina after some of the regulars botch things up a bit. It's not really clear how the bad guy is so amazingly adept, but it's needed to add a bit of tension and I mean just a bit too because we know he isn't going to prevail.Meanwhile back at the Dillard Place, his wife is still gravely ill and her illness along with what she has to go through in this book and past books to try to survive cancer is among the most moving aspects of the series.I strongly suggest that if you have an interest in this book that you start the series at volume one. A great deal of how much one may enjoy this entry depends on how much you have invested in the family and friends of Joe Dillard.In sum, an another entertaining entry in a terrific series.Riveting as always I read Scott Pratt's Joe Dillard first book not too long ago. By the time I started reading the second book I knew every book in this series was going to be my auto buy. I would pre order now if there was a next book.This story, like the previous ones in the series will keep you at the edge of your seat through out the book. I would have given it five stars had it not at times in some episodes you have to suspend beliefs. It's hard to imagine a lawyer in real life finds himself taking part in law enforcement's covert operations. Also the motive for the killings of each the judges is not very clear and not explained at all. All we know is some of these judges were either perverts like the killer's mastermind or had written a judgment that saw other accused perverts escaped punishment. So readers may finish reading the book feeling there's something lacking in the story. But all in all it is a good thriller and Scott Pratt writes excellent legal mystery.Waiting anxiously for the next installment, and I truly hope Mr Pratt keeps Mrs Dillard safe and well because I want my hero, Joe Dillard, to be a very happy man doing what he does best ... in court. And less on vigilante works.The Ending Ruined the Book for Me I have read the first 8 books of the Joe Dillard series, and outside of Conflict of Interest (not a bad read, but not as fast paced and entertaining as the others), I loved them all, until now. Sadly I really loved the majority of Judgment Cometh, it was a fast paced, entertaining page turner, though the crime was more gory than I typically like. I thought the only real drawback to the flow of the story was the ongoing issues of Dillard’s wife, who has had cancer through out the series. I don’t mean to be heartless, and I do have sympathy for the dread and pain this family is in, but in most of the books it doesn’t add anything necessary to the main plot of the story. I feel that in many cases it actually disrupts the progress of the novels. If its purpose is to show Dillard’s strong family ties/love, that was well expressed in the first two novels. Once the cancer went into remission I would have preferred that it been left there, not brought forward time after time, book after book. Toward the end of Judgment Cometh Pratt did use his wife’s extreme illness in a role to present the idea that Dillard may be making bad decisions based on his own emotional turmoil. The resulting effect lead to an ending that dropped my star rating from a four to a three. POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT…. As I stated, I loved this book until the ending. I don’t mind rogue cops, etc. Example Harry Bosch in Michael Connelly’s series is certainly one, but I love the Bosh series. The ending of this book, however, goes to extremes. It was just too much breaking of the rules, which for me, made it unrealistic and disappointing.
