About this listen

“Heart-stopping intensity.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Meltzer has come up with a gem of a plot….It breezes along in high gear….[A] highly recommended suspenser.” —Chicago Tribune

In this second novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer, husband and wife face off in a legal thriller that poses the most chilling question of all: How far would you go to save the one you love?

Sara Tate, a Manhattan assistant DA, is on the brink of losing her job. But then she takes a case that may be able to secure her future. Trouble is, it’s much more complicated—and deadly—than it initially appears. While forces within her own office plot against her, an outside threat takes things to another level: Win the case or her attorney husband, Jared, will die. But Jared has received threats, too. Forced to defend the opposition, he learns that, if loses the case, Sara will be killed. With everything on the line for both of them, husband and wife battle it out—at court and at home—while maintaining the terrible secret behind their motives. Caught in a struggle of rollercoaster emotions and shocking betrayals, Jared and Sara must face the unthinkable: No matter who wins, one of them may die.

same old, same old.
one totally irritating factor was gratuitous music suddenly appearing for no benefit to the story and loud enough that you couldn't hear the words.

Lawyer fiction is a favorite

Okay, this was a decent book. The plot was interesting, albeit a little predictable, there were some unexpected twists. Most of the characters were developed well, but……. The female protagonist Sara was very unlikeable…. actually she was downright annoying. She was written as a self absorbed, egotistical, competitive woman. And I’m being nice. I found myself yelling out loud because she was so annoying. I don’t like to criticize women because I am one but wow, she really sucked!!!

Always edge of your seat,definite bldg of character mistrust which the reader truly begins to take on as well

Wife came off a bit too whiney although it would seem she was supposed to only appear insecure. Reader begins to dislike her more than feel compassion for her

Was released prior to the date shown.

Looked forward to hearing this book. 1/4 way through realized this was a book released years ago. Hate when this happens. Book was awesome no issues other than release date misleading.

Great Read

Some of the dialog was tedious and repetitive. Overall, this title is worth recommending.

Not great

This story line was unbelievable and the main characters were both pretty unlikeable. Not what I expected from this author.
