This is the second book in the series and the second book (of Levine's) that I I have read. First, I must say that I really enjoy this author's sense of humor. At times I laugh out loud while reading some of his lines. The lead character, Jake Lassiter, is very quick witted and reminds me of Hawk-eye Pierce from the Mash Sitcom (in sense of humor only). He just sees things through a funny perspective and always has a quick, witty comeback to offer someone who neither asked for his opinion nor appreciates hearing it.He is a handsome, ex-NFL Linebacker who is now a defense lawyer. Needless to say, he has no problem getting women. In both books 1 and 2, he has been a guest in someone's house and has simply laid down for an afternoon nap, only to be awakened by a beautiful woman who seduces him. I need to figure out where these Bed and Breakfasts exist. :) Keeping the women, though, is clearly not his strong suit.
He also has a propensity to get into fist fights. I think I counted about 6 times in this book where he was either punching someone, or getting attacked by someone. So he is basically an oversexed, ex-jock lawyer, who constantly gets into violent skirmishes while trying to figure out who the murderer is and build a case at the same time.
In book one, he was a defense lawyer. In book two, he is assigned to be not only the prosecutor but the head of a police investigation. This was the first unbelievable thing about this book. Defense lawyers are never approached by the State's Attorney and assigned to be head of an investigation and lead prosecutor. But that is what happened to good old Jake in this one. He apparently works for a law firm, but they barely even mention that, as if it's a part time hobby. A place he checks his mail and says hi to the secretary every now and then. Another stretch. He seems to just do whatever he thinks will help his case, whether it's legal or not, and it all seems to work out in the end.
So, if you like an action-packed legal thriller that bends all the rules of law and likelihood, these books are entertaining. The writing is funny and engaging. The main character is like a Bruce Willis type lawyer, ex-jock who does whatever it takes to crack a case, and is so damn attractive that he gets laid taking naps. The plot is ever-twisting and keeps you interested and the endings are fairly satisfying.
Overall, an enjoyable read. I'll probably be reading the next one soon. I didn't review book one, but I would probably give that one 4 stars. It was a bit better than this one.

Night Vision Jake Lassiter Legal Thrillers Book 2 (Audible Audio Edition) Paul Levine Luke Daniels Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
I am reviewing this 2nd in series also today... I finished the first two books within a couple days (I read fast).
This one does start out a bit slow. It took me quite a few chapters of reading before I really got hooked so if this is your first Lassiter book, keep going, you won't be sorry. Once this story gets going it is full of action and suspense. A bit different story line than his first book "To Speak for the Dead" but still very good. In the writing style of Harlan Coben, this novel brings you along having you wonder how many hats Lassiter actually wears. He seems to be a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to law and order. His insatiable need to know truth continues to get him in trouble but also makes him the most caring lawyer when it comes to his clients. In this one he is obsessed about secrets from the past and what relevance they have to the present. A dating website and a serial killer or not? Lots of secrets in this one and keeps you reeled in trying to figure them out as you read. Full of surprises.
Loved the book. It has everything...British psychiatrist, college professor, retired jockey, connected politician with history that goes back to the Vietnam War, transsexual with mommy issues, retired ME with a rambling knowledge base of soooo many facts, and the there's Jake. Jake Lassiter is everyman's hero. He is a lawyer with an honest streak, his past in the NFL makes him a lovable guy, and his desire to be a good man with all of the women in his life! I am looking forward to reading more from Paul Levine.
I recently started the Jake Lassiter series. I enjoyed the first book and looked forward to siting down and reading the second Night Vision. It took me more than a week to get through this one. For me, it got to bogged down and boring in areas. So much so that I found myself skipping pages and pages to get back to where the story was interesting again. So not my favorite but will continue on in the series.
