Description

A high-society dinner. Served with a side of murder. When successful real estate entrepreneur Alexandra Pruitt is poisoned at her own retirement dinner, there are many suspects to choose from. Too many. Alexandra’s long-term boyfriend and the five women Alexandra mentored over the years all have reasons to want her dead. The police quickly pick the most obvious, one of Alexandra’s mentees, Meredith Beauchamp. Attorney Daniel Raine thinks they’ve got it wrong, and sets out to prove it. Who benefits most from Alexandra’s murder? The answer isn’t as straightforward as it seems. A missing will, forged business documents, and secrets in the past all serve to muddy the waters. Raine knows he has his work cut out if he is to untangle this web of deceit. But he is willing to do whatever it takes to save an innocent woman from a life behind bars. Even if that means bending the law a little… Prime Suspects – the fifth book in the brilliant legal thriller series featuring attorney Daniel Raine. What readers are saying about Prime Suspects: “If you’re looking for a great courtroom thriller, look no further! The story is immediately engaging… Penner hooked me from the start and kept the suspense alive until the very end.” -Goodreads Reviewer “…a terrific tale. The plot unfolded beautifully and the author is a good storyteller. A few twists along the way, plenty of drama made this book a recommended read for me.” -Netgalley Reviewer “I’ve read all of the series and it’s a favorite. The courtroom drama and banter is always entertaining. I was caught off guard by the reveal, lots of twists and turns in the plot.” -Goodreads Reviewer “…a classic and yet completely unique take on the whodunit murder mystery genre, with an outsider trying to untangle all the secrets and lies.” -Netgalley Reviewer “Stephen Penner has done it again, another phenomenal Rain City Legal Book about my favourite fictional lawyer, Daniel Raine! I love this book, just like his others, because it is written in great legal detail, has a great plot, twist and it's gripping to the very end.” -Netgalley Reviewer “…delivers a gripping blend of legal drama and suspense. Penner's writing is taut and atmospheric, effectively building tension while exploring themes of justice and morality. Fans of legal thrillers will appreciate the intricate plotting and unexpected twists.

  • Prime Suspects, by Stephen Penner
Format: Kindle
Title: Prime Suspects Author: Stephen Penner Publisher: Inkubator Books Series: A Rain City Legal Thriller Book 5 Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: Five Review: "Prime Suspects" by Stephen Penner My Insights: "Prime Suspects" is an enthralling legal thriller that will grip your attention and keep you flipping pages as you wrestle with the question of whether Meredith Beauchamp is truly guilty of two murders. In a race against time, the brilliant attorney Daniel Raine, alongside his savvy private investigator Rebecca Sommer, embarks on a relentless quest to uncover the truth behind the shocking murder of Alexandra Pruitt. As if one murder weren't enough, the plot takes a thrilling twist with the revelation of another death—Alexandra's attorney, which adds a rich layer of complexity to the unfolding drama. With every turn of the page, the story deepens, weaving a tapestry of intrigue that makes it impossible to look away. Prepare to be astounded as the pieces fall into place, revealing how a seemingly innocuous party involving the Fab Five—Meredith, Rebecca, Fiona, Julia, and Caroline—fueled a web of betrayal and ulterior motives. To truly appreciate the brilliant craftsmanship of this narrative, you must dive into "Prime Suspects." The journey taken by Attorney Raine to unearth critical evidence and unravel the reasons behind Alexandra's demise is a captivating adventure. This fifth installment in the Rain City Legal Thriller series is not just a good read; it's an electrifying experience that will leave you breathless and eager for more. This book, part of the Rain City Legal Thriller series [Book 5], was worth reading. ... show more

  • Good read
Format: Kindle
The stories in the series are becoming rather typical and the climax is always so anti climatic. However, the book is a solid read.

  • Excellent read
Format: Kindle
Couldn't put This one down. I love the way the author gives you the full courtroom experience and explains the procedure as its unfolding. Characters are well developed and leaves you feeling as if you know them. The stories are each one unique (i've read the first 4 books already) so it doesn't feel repetitive. I would recommend this book and this series to anyone looking for a good read. ... show more

  • More a cozy mystery than a legal thriller.
Format: Kindle
Stephen Penner is an excellent author, but he let himself and his readers down with Prime Suspects. This book is more a corny, cozy mystery than a legal thriller. As I read it, I thought I was in a time warp, and Jessica Fletcher would soon appear. John Grisham and Scott Turow would never write anything like this for adults. Even Grisham's books for kids have more meat in them than Prime Suspects. I'll continue buying Mr. Penner's books, but if he serves up anything like this again, I won't. If an author writes a cozy mystery, he should describe it as such. If you're looking for a legal thriller, this is not the book for you. ... show more

Format: Kindle
Once again Stephen Penner brings Daniel Raine to us. This time it’s all about Raines and Sommers attend a retirement party for a very successful real estate entrepreneur Alexandra Pruitt, when she was expected to hear the announcement that would change everyone’s life. It all centers around 5 women who Alexandra mentored. When Meredith Beauchamp is charged with Alexandra’s murder and then Alexandra’s attorney murder the reader is turning the pages far into the night. Another great book, can’t wait to see what other cases Raine will be getting. ... show more
