What would you do if you and your best buddy won the biggest lottery payout ever? LADY JUSTICE AND THE LOTTERY looks at this very question alongside the way memory skews the past to make it seem idyllic.
I am now fourteen books into this series and see no way out but to keep on reading each and every one of them. Robert Thornhill has a knack for taking ordinary people and putting them is extraordinary situations. He combines mystery and humor to keep you guessing and laughing out loud at the same time. With a current total of 44 books in the series, I am going to have a far harder time reviewing them than reading them. Why? I don’t do spoilers! I suggest that you start with the first book, LADY JUSTICE TAKES A C.R.A.P, and start working your way through the retirement of Walt Williams and the Lady Justice crew.
This is a fantastic series Walt is a Police Officer him and his partner get assigned different cases. These cases bring some great humor, as well as you get to know Walt and Partner solving these mysteries. Each story brings you a fantastic story that really keeps you captivated. I definitely recommend. The National and Author do a fantastic job at bringing the story to fruition. I love the audiobook.

What would you do if you won the lottery? Two people in this book did and tried to do some really nice things with the money. Unfortunately when you win the lottery you have more dangers than you did before and in this book one of the possibilities is shown. Walt, Ox and the police are they to save the day once again and get put in a precarious position. Luckily this is Walt, so all ends well again. Loving this series so far!
I am a fan of Robert Thornhill and an even bigger fan of Walt and the gang.
Lady Justice and the Lottery had Star Trek collectables stolen and recovered. An auction for Captain Kirk ‘s chair to benefit the children’s hospital. Walt and Ox helped with security in full star trek costume and makeup. Pretty funny as usual.
There is also the two older men who won the lottery and the decisions that they have to make on how to spend the money but also blackmail and kidnapping because of greed.
Mention is made several times about making a movie or tv show about Walt and the gang. I would absolutely be interested in watching the Lady Justice series on tv!
Another fun read.
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this book. I like the fact that with each book the author gets you thinking about the subject even after the story has finished. In this book Walt and Ox tackles a number of cases with there usual good luck, charm and sometimes bluster all of it very entertaining.
Walt and Ox are traveling to outer space were no man has been before, we’ll okay going undercover at a star trek convention when a number of valuable items are stolen from the tv series. Walt is in his element, Ox not so much. At the same time two men win the jackpot by picking the winning lottery tickets and have great big ideas of how to spend the money. Unfortunately this brings lots of con men to Kansas city in the hopes of parting them from the money. When one of the schemes goes wrong and Walt rescues one of the men he steps into motion something that might change his and his friends lives forever because everybody needs a super hero or a tv show.
George Kuch is once again a good choice for the reader as he does an excellent job with all the characters and sets the comic scenes up well with his delivery.
Lady Justice and The Lottery is my fourteenth enjoyable read/listen from author Robert Thornhill. Another entertaining clean read, filled with puns & one-liners, as always dealing with current social topics. Each book in the series seems better than the last as Thornhill continues to up his game. Narrator George Kuch again adds greatly to the listening enjoyment with his wide variety of entertaining voices & inflections, Kuch IS Walt Williams! I’ll definitely be reading more from Thornhill! I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Up next is Lady Justice & the Vet. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Robert Thornhill has done it again. When I first started listening and they were talking about Star Trek (I am not a fan) I thought oh no not going to like this one. But I was wrong. The story line soon go really interesting and not at all Trekkie. George Kuch once again out does himself.

The good guys of the SLPD are back! A different pair of retired guys win the lottery and engage a cousin who is a good lawyer to help them to avoid the pitfalls that other lottery winners have faced. There are a lot of other lessons to be learned, and Walt and Ox are right in the middle of the stickiest ones. We also learn a little about the use of drones, and even a little visit by Captain Kirk/William Shatner. Be ready for lots of laughs!
George Kuch is the voice of Walt and crew, and continues to do a fantastic job.
Audiobook review: Lady Justice and the Lottery find Walter Williams and crew once again in the thick of things. Star Trek fans will like this story. The situations/ mysteries Walt and his buddy Ox find themselves in are very entertaining. The lube comment caught me off guard and I had a loud belly chuckling, thankfully I wasn’t at work when it came across. The narrator did a great job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene! I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
