Joe Dillard #2
In Good Faith
A family is slaughtered in rural Tennessee. Two goth teens stand accused of the murders, and now it’s up to prosecutor Joe Dillard to convict them. A former defense attorney who spent way too much time defending people he knew were guilty, Joe is determined to win this case to atone for his past. But a young woman named Natasha, who apparently inspired the slayings, is walking around free because the boys are afraid to implicate her. Now, Joe must risk everything— including the safety of his family and his own good faith—to bring a guilty woman to justice.

Съзрях потенциал в първата книга от поредицата за Джо Дилард и реших да продължа със следващата част. И не съжалявам, хареса ми много!
В "In Good Faith", Джо е прекъснал преди година практиката си на адвокат по криминални дела - уморен, прегорял и стресиран.
Но вече е готов за ново предизвикателство и смело кандидатства за работа в прокуратурата. Но дали работата там се окаже тази за която е мечтал цял живот?
P.S. От Бард не са благоволили да преведат и издадат този роман, нищо че са пуснали първата и третата част от серията?!?

Scott Pratt does it again with his character Joe Dillard. He weaves a tight story between family and work and keeps the reader wanting more. If you like legal thrillers, you'll love this series.

This is book two of the Joe Dillard series. In this book, Joe has quit his job as a defense attorney and has gone to work as a prosecutor for the State of Tennessee. A family is murdered at a rest stop by two teenagers and their leader, a girl called Natasha. Joe is prosecuting the boys but has been unable to find evidence on Natasha. Apparently, the teenagers are into Satan worship. There are problems in the prosecutor’s office with a possible crooked prosecutor. Meanwhile, on the home front, Carolyn is being treated for breast cancer.
The book is well written. I enjoy Pratt’s style of writing. He grabs your attention immediately and holds it for the entire book. Pratt is continuing to build his key characters. The plot has some twists to it and the suspense builds throughout the story. I am looking forward to the next installment of the series.
Tim Campbell does a great job narrating the book. Campbell is a stage actor, opera singer, voice-over artist and audiobook narrator.

This is the second book in the series featuring Joe Dillard, who started as a criminal defense attorney in the first, An Innocent Client. This time out, he's switched to the dark side; burned out by his experiences defending guilty clients, Joe has accepted a job in the prosecutor's office. He'll make less money, but the opportunity to make amends for getting all those baddies of, he believes, will make up the difference.
He learns early on, though, that the office is no bed of roses; he's forced to work with another attorney who's at best a bumbling idiot, but the guy is related to the boss's wife and therefore enjoys free rein. At first, Joe is assigned to a rape case that is similarly complicated; the accusation is against an "upstanding" businessman who's a pillar of the local rural Tennessee community. While that's evolving, a family of four is brutally murdered. In short order, a retired high school principal and his wife meet a similar fate, and the evidence (and a witness) point to two young men and a young woman, all of whom are Satan-worshippers.
The young men are captured, and it's up to Joe to make sure they get their due (for one, that's execution, but not for the other one, who's a juvenile and thus ineligible for the death penalty under Tennessee law). There's insufficient evidence, though, to reel in Natasha, the young woman believed to be at the very least the instigator of the grisly murders if not the killer herself. She remains on the outside looking in, making everyone involved worried that before long, she'll stop looking and start acting. And with Satan as her guide, life for everyone involved in the case soon could become a living hell.
Events move along at a rapid pace, prompting me to carve out extra time to get it finished. If I have a complaint, it's that the ending seems a little too contrived (and admittedly, the Twilight Zone aspect turned me off a bit). The epilogue wrapped up all the loose ends in a neat and tidy fashion - but again, a bit too quickly for my liking (and, IMHO, some of those ends were a little too important to warrant such short shrift).
As I said in my review of Pratt's first Dillard book, I'm happy to find a new-to-me series I can turn to when I'm looking for something easy to read and/or to fill in the gaps between release dates of books by my favorite authors. Although this one may be a tad less enjoyable to me than the first one, it certainly didn't dampen my enthusiasm for the series. On to the next!

In Scott Pratt's second legal thriller, 'In Good Faith', we find the return of Joe Dillard back to court, after having retired a year earlier. This time he's not back in the capacity of a criminal defence attorney, but on the other side of the courtroom, as a prosecutor. He now has to convict criminals not defend them.
A family of four including two very young children, is found savagely murdered in a ditch by the road. The position in which the corpses are displayed and the mutilations indicate that some satanic ritual has been carried out.
Lee Mooney, the attorney general and Joe's boss is horrified by this crime and instructs Joe Dillard to assist Special Agent Hank Fraley in his investigation.
A few weeks later a retired High School Principal and his wife are found brutally murdered. The principal bears the same mutilations found in the first crime.
The investigations lead to the arrest of two young men who are charged with these murders. They belong to a satanic cult, but another murderer, a very dangerous female (and their manipulative leader) is still on the loose as no evidence is found linking her to the murders. Will Joe be able to find the crucial criminal evidence required to bring this woman to justice before she commits other murders?
Apart from these cases, we also find Joe Dillard prosecuting in a case of multiple sexual assaults.
Sarah Dillard, Joe's sister, once again finds herself in trouble, requiring Joe's assistance. Caroline Dillard, his wife, plays a very central role in this book.
I found 'In Good Faith' to be more gruesome than the first book and it has less courtroom scenes, however it is jam packed with interesting characters and realistic dialogue.
I enjoyed reading this book, but I have to advise that it has some paranormal element in it which unlike me, some readers may find off putting. The suspense keeps on building up until the dramatic and nail biting ending.
Once again, Pratt's writing skills do not fail and words just flow by creating vividly depicted scenes. Finally, I cannot recommend the Joe Dillard series enough especially to all those loving courtroom thrillers.

I love me some modern urban fantasy, and I love gritty legal procedurals, but I do NOT love dropping random supernatural magic into what, up to this point, had been a reality-based world. Keep the E. S. P. and mutant electrical powers for X-men and out of Southern legal courtroom dramas.

"In Good Faith" is the second book in author Scott Pratt's "Joe Dillard" series.
Although the book was well-written, fast-paced, and intricately plotted, it lacked the sizzle of "An Innocent Client", the first book in the "Joe Dillard" series.
WHY?
* The crime that Joe is investigating involves satanic cult killings. I am not a fan of reading about satanic cult killings, especially when young children are murdered.
* Joe Dillard's wife is diagnosed with breast cancer. Readers are exposed to waaay TMI about his wife's radical breast surgery, chemo, hair loss, and recovery.
* Domestic violence of a family member unrelated to Joe's investiagtion is investigating is vividly portrayed. Just like Joe Dillard's wife's breast cancer, this was a long-winded tangent that easily could have been omitted from the book.
I listened to the audiobook read by Tim Campbell, who did an outstanding job with the narration.
In good faith, I can't give "In Good Faith" the same 5-star rating that I gave "An Innocent Client".
3.5 stars.

My goodness! What is this book about? It starts out with a horrific murder of a whole family. This seems to be related to some sort of satanic cult. And then, not too long after the first murders, we have other ritual murders. It would seem that the book was going to concern itself with our hero, Joe Dillard, newly back in the prosecutor’s office (after a stint in private practice) heading up the investigative team.
Just as the investigation begins to take off, Joe’s wife is diagnosed with a particularly aggressive breast cancer. We are taken through the horrors of not only her radical breast surgery and painful aftermath, but her chemotherapy – step by step! And of course the resulting hair loss, energy loss, etc. etc. etc.
Just when we’re wondering if the book is really about the horrors of breast cancer, then we’re taken to another county where Joe’s sister has been brutally beaten by her boyfriend, but of course she refuses to press charges – and Joe goes and beats up the boyfriend. Then we’re confronted with the horrors and psychology of abusive relationships. And this [later] escalates causing Joe’s sister to be incarcerated on trumped up charges.
Whew! Could we get back to the original basis of the original plot? Apparently not. Next we are alerted to fraud and corruption within the sheriff’s office. And of course, this takes on its own story line.
Oh yes, and then there’s the psychology of the “evil twin.” And that’s another side track.
Have I left out anything? Pratt certainly didn’t. What is his purpose? What is the plot? What is the theme? What’s the point?
I really enjoyed his first book, “An Innocent Client,” but this was a terrible let down.
And just for the record, I don’t appreciate books about (or written by) lawyers where the justice system is trashed and due process is not allowed. This book deteriorated into vigilante methods where no “justice” was allowed – everyone just got killed or … allowed to continue corruption into the next novel which I will NOT waste my time reading.

The second in the Joe Dillard series. I very much enjoyed this book. It has multiple plot lines and Dillard is, for my taste, perhaps too subject to violent rage (he really should be more used to Sarah's self-destructive tendencies,) and the suggested paranormal elements always make me gag; nevertheless, Pratt writes very well and can really tug at the heartstrings. His description of Joe's love for his wife and his support for her as she struggles with breast cancer and resultant chemotherapy is magnificent.
While not essential, I would recommend starting with The Innocent Client, the first of the series. It lays the groundwork for Joe's switch from defense work to jining the prosecutor's office.

This is my 2nd book by this author. I find him to be a very good writer. His work in interesting and really engaging. I found this book hard to put down. I can't wait to read the next one.

Good legal thriller. Not much court action as the narrative pulls to a violent close.

In Good Faith is another good story from Scott Pratt, this time from a prosecutor's perspective with the additon of a paranormal twist. I really liked the way he fitered the back history from book one for readers that may not have read it.
The characterization of Joe Dillard and his personality continued and found him dealing with political corruption along with crime and family conflicts. The balance between religious faith and evil, right and wrong, and that gray area where human emotion blurs behavior was compelling reading. The paranormal enhanced the psychological thriller aspect in this particular plot.
His use of dates as chapter breaks caused me some confusion here in his first person narrative of events. The multiple repetitive dates made it difficult for me to flip back and forth, as some of the scenes appeared out of chronological order.
What I enjoy the most about Mr. Pratts writing is the outside the courtroom scenes and how an attorney developes his case through investigation and evidence. Of course, I also liked the twists and turns as the subplots intertwined with a completed ending that I didn't see coming.
An easy recommendation for readers that love a good mystery.

Great story with lots of subplots with significant touches of horror, occult and paranormal. There was not much legal/courtroom drama to it, however, which I found disappointing. I enjoyed the reality of the characters. Great gothic threads running throughout: the coldness of the air, rain, Natasha's home, the mother, the Doberman, I could go on-and-on.

Excellent read
Very good plot, well developed. Different story line. Hated to put it down. Anxious to read the next one. Good job.

Joe Dillard, the hero of Scott Pratt's "An Innocent Client," returns in the series second book, "In good Faith," a tense thriller that explores several interesting themes on its way to a nail-biting climax.
Thanks to the financial windfall he achieved in "Client," Dillard has retired from criminal defense work, with which he was already disillusioned when we first met him. Retirement doesn't sit well with Dillard, however, who finds himself back at the courthouse, watching the murder trial of a client he once successfully represented on a different murder charge. The case doesn't go well for the prosecutor, and the client is acquitted. This frustrates Dillard, particularly because after the trial Dillard won, the client drunkenly confessed his guilt to Dillard, safe in the knowledge he couldn't be tried again and Dillard couldn't reveal the confidential conversation.
Joe takes his frustration out on his wife Caroline, but she's not having it. In response, she suggests he could try what had been his original plan for his legal career - prosecuting. Joe promptly gets a job from the county's new DA, Lee Mooney, who loves the idea of an experienced trial attorney to prosecute the most serious, violent offenders in Johnson City. Joe's presence is not so appreciated by others in the office, including Alexander Dunn, the prosecutor who lost the trial Joe was observing at the outset of the book.
Joe's first day on the job is no day at the beach. A family of four, including two small children, are murdered and laid out in a bizarre, ritualistic fashion. Mooney immediately assigns Joe to supervise the investigation, to the displeasure of the veteran TBI agent recently transferred to the office to replace the corrupt agent Joe tangled with in "An Innocent Client." He and Joe get off to a rocky start, but they soon come to trust and rely on each other.

We decided to read the author’s first (of nine) Joe Dillard novels mostly because Pratt is a fellow Tennessean with a decent reputation. His debut was a mildly entertaining legal thriller, somewhat marred (to us) by excessive vulgarity and explicit sexual situations. But in this sophomore outing, the latter issue was virtually eliminated, and an interesting plot provided considerable buzz and suspense.
Joe has converted from his frustrating career as a defense attorney to now a prosecutor – with the job to put the bad guys away instead of trying to set them free. He barely starts his new job when six gruesome killings have the area in a tizzy to say the least. While two of the perpetrators are caught early on, the ability to even arrest the ringleader of an apparent Satanic cult proved elusive, and leads to much of the engaging tale that unfolds. A couple of paranormal influences from a good-twin bad-twin relationship add to the fun.
During the story, Joe’s wife Caroline is beset with breast cancer, giving illumination to the travails that malady wreaks on a woman and her family – hopefully we’ll learn in future installments how that turns out.
Meanwhile, we found “In Good Faith” to be a really fine legal thriller we would highly recommend – and have no doubt we’ll most likely pursue the complete set.
Note: The independently published Dillard series is complete at nine novels since the former lawyer passed away in 2018.

The second book in the series lived up to the first.
So many times when I read a new author the first book is like WHOA and then I am bored to tears for the next book in the series.
Scott Pratt did NOT disappoint. Honestly this one may have been a tad bit better than the first. I have to say that I was intrigued by the writing and did not want to lay the book down. For a romance, SMUT Junkie that is saying a LOT. Great Read. Can't wait to read Injustice for All..

Really like the first Joe Dillard book, don't know why I never got the 2nd one, so I went back and read it now. Not as good as the first, which had a great blend of police procedural and courtroom drama, this one lacked those elements. Joe Dillard is still a great character, but that alone cannot carry a book.
July 30, 2020
I thought I was dealing with a legal-criminal series and this second part branches off towards a legal thriller tinged with religious knick-knack, supernatural and horror. Always with a big dose of family drama.
Add to that a "twin plot", an awful and classic cliché from low-level thrillers: I should have hated this book.
But the author's talent is undeniable: the book is very rhythmic, very pleasant and very easy to read, very well constructed, with good characters.
So, even if I'm far from being a fan of the deviation of the series towards the thriller / horror genre, I still enjoyed reading this Joe Dillard's second instalment.
I'll read the next one, but if the author persists in that vein I probably won't go to the end of the series.

Scott Pratt is a good storyteller, even if a bit formulaic. Joe Dillard is an easy protagonist to like; an All-American type of guy. Enjoyable story and characters.

I delved into the second book in Scott Pratt's Joe Dillard Series - "In Good Faith" - after enjoying his first book, An Innocent Client. A great lover of the mystery genre with court battles sprinkled throughout, "In Good Faith" did not disappoint me. I love the way the author doesn't focus on just one case in the story because that would not be the reality of a real lawyer - defense attorney or DA. You won't be able to put the book down as you dig deeper through the pages, and you will learn more and more about how the legal system works - and doesn't!

Book #2 in the legal mystery/thriller series by author Scott Pratt deals with ritual murder and the occult in Tennessee. Falling somewhat short of his debut book " An Innocent Client", Pratt may have jumped the shark by embodying the evil antagonist with supernatural powers. Regardless, it was an interesting and enjoyable read mostly because I liked the development of his protagonist attorney, now Prosecutor, Joe Dillard and his family.

Love this series
