Synopsis

"Narrator Therese Plummer delivers a stellar reading of Margolin's latest thriller...Her vocal skills capably supplement Margolin's fast-paced story in this riveting production." — AudioFile Magazine

The “master of heart-pounding suspense” returns with a brand new audiobook series — The Third Victim is New York Times bestseller Phillip Margolin at his very best.

A woman stumbles onto a dark road in rural Oregon—tortured, battered, and bound. She tells a horrific story about being kidnapped, then tortured, until she finally managed to escape. She was the lucky one—two other women, with similar burns and bruises, were found dead.

The surviving victim identifies the house where she was held captive and the owner, Alex Mason—a prominent local attorney—is arrested. Although he loudly insists upon his innocence, his wife’s statements about his sexual sadism and the physical evidence found at the scene, his summer home, is damning.

Regina Barrister is a legendary criminal defense attorney, known as “The Sorceress” for her courtroom victories. But she’s got a secret, one that threatens her skill, her reputation, and, most of all, her clients. And she’s agreed to take on the seemingly impossible task of defending Alex Mason.

Robin Lockwood, a young lawyer and former MMA fighter, has just left a clerkship at the Oregon Supreme Court to work for Regina Barrister. The Alex Mason trial is her first big one, a likely death penalty case, and she’s second chair to Regina. Increasingly, she’s worried her boss’s behavior and the details in the case against their client don’t quite add up.

Goodreads review by Chelsea on December 26, 2017

I hate giving poor reviews. No really; it's painful and makes me feel like a grade A butthead on steroids.

Goodreads review by Barbara on August 12, 2021

A sadistic serial killer is at work in Portland, Oregon. The murderer's first two victims were prostitutes - unfortunate women who were burned, beaten, and starved before being snuffed out. The third victim - a pretty young barista named Meredith Fenner - was lucky enough to escape, but she's physic......more

Goodreads review by Joey on April 09, 2018

2 stars. It has been a while since I have read a book by Phillip Margolin but I thought “The Third Victim” had a good premise so I decided to give it a chance. This time — as well as every other time I have read one of his novels—- Margolin writes in short, non-descriptive sentences that provide lim......more
