About this audiobook
For high-powered personal injury attorney Noah Byron, the good things in life come with a price tag—cars, houses, women. That’s why he represents only cases that come with the possibility of a nice cut of the action. But as a favor to his ex-wife, he meets with the mother of twelve-year-old Joel, a boy poisoned by tainted children’s medicine. While the official story is that a psycho tampered with bottles, the boy’s mother believes something much more sinister is at work…and the trail leads right back to the pharmaceutical company.
As Noah digs deeper into the case, he quickly finds himself up against a powerful corporation that will protect itself at any cost. He also befriends young Joel and breaks the number one rule of personal injury law: don’t make it personal. Faced with the most menacing of opponents and the most vulnerable of clients, Noah is determined to discover the truth and win justice for Joel—even if it means losing everything else.
Victor Methos
At the age of thirteen, when his best friend was interrogated by the police for over eight hours and confessed to a crime he didn’t commit, Victor Methos knew he would one day become a lawyer. After graduating from the University of Utah School of Law, Methos sharpened his teeth as a prosecutor for Salt Lake City before founding what would become the most successful criminal defense firm in Utah. In ten years Methos conducted more than one hundred trials. One particular case stuck with him, and it eventually became the basis for his first major bestseller, The Neon Lawyer. Since that time, Methos has focused his work on legal thrillers and mysteries, earning a Best Novel Edgar nomination for his title A Gambler’s Jury. He currently splits his time between Southern Utah and Las Vegas.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS
I think I liked Noah better at the beginning when he was a real jerk. Olivia needed much more character development to have her role be believable. And the two of them together didn't work for me. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good story!! Love the writing style, and the story is very pertinent for us all.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Lawyer With a CauseReview of the Brilliance Audio audiobook edition narrated by Alexander Cendese and released simultaneously with the Thomas & Mercer paperback (January, 2016)I've picked up several books by prolific author Victor Methos in the past and have found them to be a reliable entertainment, even if somewhat dependent on standard cliches of the lawyer and mystery genres. An Invisible Client is in the 'mercenary lawyer is turned caring and idealistic due to a child and the love of a good woman' sub-genre. Noah Byron is the lead partner in a firm of personal injury lawyers. He is initially voiced as being cold and mercenary and unlikeable by narrator Alexander Cendese. As a favour to his ex-wife he takes on a client who is of the "invisible client" category, someone with little future earning power and who is therefore considered not a potential moneymaker in a settlement. The case involves the poisoning of a brand of cough medicine with cyanide. The manufacturer insists that it is due to a serial killer who tampered with several bottles on the market. The suspicion is that they are hiding something but can it be proven?Byron becomes attached to the young boy who is suffering the aftereffects of the poisoning. At the same time a new idealistic lawyer out of law school joins the firm and becomes his assistant on the case. Byron of course gradually falls in love with her as well. Against the objections of his law firm partners he insists on pursuing the 'invisible client' case against all odds. Of course, the pharmaceutical company has a ruthless firm of opposing lawyers at their beck and call, led by one character who wears an eyepatch.There are several twists and surprises along the way and the narration by Alexander Cendese was excellent in all voices. I particularly liked how his voicing of the unlikeable Byron at the start gradually turned sympathetic during the course of the reading.I picked up An Invisible Client through an Audible Sale on June 29, 2022.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Noah, a personal injury attorney, is out for his cut of the money. However, when he takes the case of a twelve year old dying from tainted cough syrup, the battle becomes personal. I’m not sure what to say about this book. All of the characters seemed extremely stereotypical. Joel, the twelve year old boy, came across more like a five year old. The trial, which was the most interesting part of the story, was skimmed over fairly quickly. Overall, this book was a disappointment.
