Critic reviews

"Larry A. Winters brings suspense and twists in this book that kept me interested and turning the page." ( Lifes Good Journey)

Surprisingly pleasant

It caught my attention from the beginning, and it just kept going. Did not lose my attention. It’s an easy read I recommend..

Good twist

It’s just as captivating as the rest of the series I’ve listened too. Good change in the norm from just the average murder mystery

A nice listen

Funny how the story mimicked the characters. The men in this story were all useless, even the swat team.

Great plot

This is the third book in this series. I liked the first two, and this one is the best! Very creative plot

Worth a Read

This is the 3rd book of a series, however, it can be read as a stand-alone. Good plot, good action, great narrator. I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

Conspiracy theory at elite private school ...

This book starts out with a teenage boy shooting 16 cheerleaders and their coach and waiting for the police to arrive. When they do the boy is disappointed that there are only two plain clothes officers and the lead is a woman. He wants to commit suicide by cop but looses his nerve when the scenario doesn't go according to the plan. Turns out, he's not the only one making plans. There's a website geared towards misogynists and someone on that site was spurring the boy on to do something about his anger, like taking a firearm to the school.
When the arresting officers find out that one of the girls was sleeping with a teacher the investigation takes a turn. The rest of the book deals with looking for the mystery man and the teacher. The are many suspects and each has to be eliminated until the shocking conclusion when the perpetrator is finally revealed.
Excellent addition to the series. Xe Sands does a great job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thank You.

Didn't Like th Narrator.

I did not like the narrator, I had a very hard time listening to her. It was like she was mumbling. I finally gave up on the book.

Interesting but needs more diverse characters

"Deadly Evidence: Jessie Black Legal Thrillers, Book 3" (2016, 2017) by Larry A. Winters is an interesting, stand-alone legal thriller about Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney Jessie Black expanding her inquiry after a school shooting in which seventeen people were killed. After the young shooter hangs himself while in custody, Jessie pursues an uphill battle to prosecute the anonymous internet figure who encouraged the shooter. An engaging read, but I would have liked to have seen more people of color. Narrator Xe Sands is effective. Solidly recommended.

Lots of action and suspense!

This suspense mystery/legal thriller is the third novel in the Assistant District Attorney Jesse Black Legal Thriller series. Deadly Evidence is about the murder with a rifle of all members of a 15 girl high school cheerleader squad and their coach by a teen boy. Even though the boy also died, prosecutor Jesse Black is unwilling to drop the case because she believes that there are persons who enticed the boy to commit the murders. Like the earlier novels in the series there is little courtroom action. Xe Sands narrates this fast paced and action filled novel very well.

Looking forward to Book 4!
