A special thank you to Penner Media, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Includes spoilers.
One of my favorite witty, crime mystery-legal thriller series, Casey Cort (a mix of my top genres). I fell in love with Casey Cort and author, Sylvie Fox when introduced in 2014, with Qualified Immunity. (Love strong women). More intense suspense followed with Under Color of Law in March 2015.
IN PLAIN SIGHT, the third in the series (Casey really gets herself caught up in a dangerous web of deceit), she once again is faced with many moral decisions, which spills over into her personal relationships, and professional career. The lines are blurred between good and evil.
As we pick up from the previous book, there is a romance developing between Casey (white) and the rising assistant U.S. Attorney Miles Siegel (black). However, things do not go so smoothly when the cases conflict.
Defense and Prosecution. Prosecutors charge suspects with crimes and attempt to convict them in court, while defense attorneys strive to defend their client, the suspect, and prevent a conviction. Oil and Water. Not a good combo for romance.
Several Stories Connect:
Set in Ohio, as the book opens we meet Stephanie Wells, in 1999. A fourteen-year-old caught in a difficult situation. Her stepdad just died, and she is glad. Clark has sexually abused her for years. She tells her mom. Of course, her mom does not believe her. Stephanie’s life is miserable and she wants nothing more than to escape this environment before the next man enters their house.
A walk in the park, introduces her to Dion. A devil is a disguise. He is nice; however, she is naïve and does not realize she is walking into a situation, possibly worse than what she had at home. (two evils). Her life will be forever changed in horrific ways for years to come, due to this encounter.
Little does she know, Dion is working for Sledge (her nightmares are just beginning). A young innocent girl now trapped in a world she cannot escape. More abuse. (this girl broke my heart) however, she makes very poor choices and appears she likes food more than anything) she continues going back to the source of her problems. The crazy mom, her loser boyfriends, her sister, and Dion. She needs help!
Jump to 2004, to Jarrod Carter (Sledge Hammer) now a client of Caseys. Of course, she has no clue his background. She knows she needs the money and he is willing to pay. A criminal, a sex trafficking ring, and the lives of innocent young girls and women. He locks them in containers or motel rooms. He uses them for money in order to take care of his own family’s health issues, with the help of his two pawns: Grand and Dion, luring the new desperate young girls into the web of corruption. Jarrod has his own baggage: a sick mother, drug addict sister, and a niece, and all the time trying to move the girls from motel rooms, containers, to his home---to keep from getting caught. A criminal enterprise of pimping women and children. The Midwest’s most notorious sex trafficker.
Casey Cort, formerly an attorney from juvenile court. She barely can pay her bills. She thinks the big money is in criminal law. However, she is a puppet in an upcoming drama which may destroy her personal relationship as well as her career. There is a connection with her past relationship with Judge Brody and her ex-fiancé (who liked them young, black, and willing). Now she is on her way to prepare a trial.
U.S. Attorney Miles Siegel is working around the clock, to find this criminal, Sledge to put him behind bars. Little does he know, he is Casey’s client? Her client's name is Jarrod Carter. She is defending him. Prostitution, sex trafficking, kidnapping, conspiracy, white collar criminals, violence – you name it; except innocent until proven guilty. Sledge is always one step ahead of the law. With this much tension; no room for romance.
Each character is desperate and striving for something better than they have. Each choice is worse than the previous one. Greed, money, complications, morals, and obstacles get in the way. Resulting in poor choices, guilt, and dangerous outcomes. No happy endings here for anyone. Everyone is keeping secrets.
On a positive note, always love catching up with my favorite gay neighbors, Greg and Jason (not a lot of face time though in this one).
The good and the bad.
While I love the Casey Cort series, and Sylvie’s writing (wit, humor, and awesome courtroom dramas), glued to the pages with suspense and mystery; however, I was greatly disappointed when I reached the ending. A huge letdown. There was so much left hanging. I actually went back to re-read the last few chapters, thinking I had missed something or fell asleep with my late night reading. What the heck?
When I reached 90%, I knew there was no way this was going to wrap up. I was going Oh, NO…(you know when you invest all this time in a book and left hanging?) Nothing really was settled with Stephanie, Casey, Miles, or Sledge. Typically with the previous books in the series, each wraps up nicely. Characters may appear in future books; however, the books move on to a different storyline. With the other books, I rooted for Casey; however, with IN PLAIN SIGHT, not so much. I did not like some of her choices. (am a huge Miles fan).
The storyline with Stephanie's character took top focus and the most intriguing (what a childhood). Dying for some justice for her with a continuation of her character. I kept saying: "Go to the police, turn these guys in!" - losing patience with her. Wanted to smack the mother and sister. Want more back story of Dion, an interesting character.
Hopefully, there will be a fourth in the Casey Cort series, to find out the fate of the characters. I was all set to give this one another 5 stars, as a great story, like the others; until the abrupt ending, so balancing with a final 4 rating.
Will poor Stephanie get a second chance at life? What about Casey and Miles – do they stand a chance on opposite sides of the law? Will Sledge finally get caught as his misdeeds catch up with him? Will Casey find a part of the law which fits within her budget, lifestyle, fulfillment, and moral character-- both personally and professionally? Will these victims and women get the help they need? I am hanging out on a cliff awaiting the next.

This is the 4th book I have read by this author and I have enjoyed them all. In this story, Casey has now begun working criminal cases. She has a new client that hires her to contest the charges lodged against his clubs. At the same time this is going own, Casey's boyfriend Miles has gotten involved in a case pertaining to sex traffic. Casey's case goes to court presided by her former boyfriend's father who she was engaged earlier. She is able to win the case.
Miles has a name of an individual who was responsible for the sex case he was pursuing. He is not able to get anyone that can point him in the same direction. Casey in the meantime receives a large retainer by her earlier client. There is a situation that they may intersect.
To discover who Casey's client was and how he might have some sort of connection to the case Miles was working on, then you must read this book.

The first few books in this series was amazing. While I do realize this is a series, I don’t feel like this book gave me any sort of closure. I have not started the next, so I don’t know if this was a major cliffhanger or whether the author just left everyone hanging and to what happened with the characters. I mean I had no closure on ANY of the characters.
July 3, 2022
If I could give this book zero stars I would but the lowest rating available is a 1.
So this is the second book by this author I have read (both were free on kindle) and once again the same problems and issues surface. Characters that are deemed black do not appear authentic in voice or action and Casey's judgment is so horrible I'm waiting for a novel that only details her appearance before a disciplinary board.
Back to the black characters. On kindle (chapter 32 73% Miles who has a black mother and white father is imagining a child with white Casey and he says "thoughts of a pale child with unruly hair and tanned skin". One how can a person be both pale and tan? Two I have never heard a black person talk about his/her own child having unruly hair, when unruly hair is mentioned it is usually to disparage a nonblack mother who is not used to dealing with a biracial child's hair.
In chapter 30, 63% on kindle, Stephanie's mother Mary, when finally informed her late husband has repeatedly raped 10 year old Stephanie says "But what happened with Clark aint nothing new. Most girls I know had the same thing happen with their father or uncle or cousin." and while some mothers of any races are dismissive, readers get a distorted view that all black women are like this which is not true. Maybe the author if she is reading this review can give me a statistic cause when I practiced in family court abused children were all of races. worse mom then says "We can't lay down and go woe is me like white women do. It's not how sistas roll." no no no. Black women can't be woe is me or collapse because society will not allow us to. Society does not see us as feminine (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/...) or in need of protection like our white counterparts "White womanhood as a class historically designated as delicate, racially superior beings in need of protection." https://medium.com/@alexandriabennett.... Moreover "Black women, girls, and non-binary people are seldom seen as victims. Instead, they are seen as deserving of harm or unable to be harmed. This perpetuates a long legacy of impunity for violence against Black women, girls, and non-binary people. Because Black women and girls have historically been dehumanized, considered unrapeable, and left without legal recourse, they become easier targets for abuse and are more reluctant to come forward." (https://www.aclu.org/blog/racial-just...). The way the white girl is treated in the book highlights this disturbing and inhumane phenomenon.
Third, the book just ends with Casey having accepted a lot of her deviant client's money just let's the phone ring when she sees the caller id "I was pretty sure it was Jarrod Carter calling. I'd had enough of his problems for a while. Whatever he had to tell me could wait." Criminals like Jarrod - who are referred by Casey's deviant ex-fiance - do not go down alone. Casey took his 50,000 retainer and now he is locked up. She is either stupid or also a crook who will soon see a disciplinary committee or worse.
I'd give this book zero stars if I could.

A surprising book as the story is based on very sad and difficult to discuss issues - children prostitution, corruption, sexual abuse at home, lack of love and understanding at home, poverty and its consequence in the development of people. In spite of these difficult themes, the story is easy to read and does not leave a bad or sad impression on the reader. The lawyer and the attorney are frequently faced with taking a decision between what is right and what is good and their personal relationship is damaged by the decisions they take. It´s a very interesting book to read that reflects - most unfortunately - the days we are living.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest opinion.

I sadly missed books one and two in this series. But with this fourth book, the second I have read, Author Aime Austin takes us into a case where they are investigating a character names Sledge Hammer and you never know where the clues might come from. I will need to get my hands on the first two books in the series and see where it all began. If you like court drama then you will love these.

A great mystery with suspense, drama and a story line that keeps the reader guessing where it's going. It will grab your attention and hold it til you turn the last page. High praise to Aime Austin on a well written, suspenseful series!

This is a difficult subject for anyone to write about, but this author has done so in a magnificent way without diluting any of the distaste and harshness of the reality. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author and I have fallen in love with her writing. The plot is excellent as are the characters and their dialogue. This is a wonderful read that you don’t want to miss.

Interesting story that is well written and riveting. This kept me reading into the night. Lots of action and great well developed characters. I am looking forward to the next book by this author.

My Mistake
This book would have been better if I had the background from her previous books. She did a wee bit of back tracking but only enough to keep me really confused. It definitely was not what I consider a stand alone novel

Loved it until
I realized there was no end. Authors should begin and end books. Even if it's a series, every book should be able to be read and stand alone. Ugh. What a waste of time. Up until the end, this was a very good book.

Enjoyed reading this book but I totally felt like there was no closure for any of the storyline? Will have to find the next book in the series and see if the story continues.

When reality stops living up to your ideals.
Casey Cort is now working the big cases. Coming from the juvenile court, she is now ready big time. Excited to make a difference. But when her first client comes in looking the part of a man misunderstood, she soon discovers she has been played. Her reality becomes more complicated when she begins to fall hard for Miles and then begins the conflict of interest.
The narration is told by a handful of players. Casey as she stumbles thru her case, her past, and Miles. The Perp who has managed the biggest prostitution ring in Cleveland. How he operates and victimizes young girls to make money for his sick mother. Stephanie a 14 year old with attitude and sass. Her living arrangements gives her no choice and when she thinks she has found true love she learns quick the big lie.
The dialogue pulls you along but it is hard core especially in regards to Stephanie. The reality of the human trafficking is not pretty and its not nice. Fox has a way of putting the hard things into perspective. It is shocking. It is informing!
A Special Thank You to Penner Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

“This audiobook was given by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review."
TThis is book 3 in the series, but the first I've listened to. I found the lack of chapter headings a bit confusing as there are multiple POV's. The basic plot gives the listener a lot of suspense, drama, and a coming of age story. I might of been less confused if I had read or listened to the first two books.
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed. Machelle Williams is a pleasure to listen to.
